Heavy Snow to Hit Colorado and Spread East into the Midwest

Winter Storm & Blizzard Warnings In Effect for Eastern Colorado, Winter Storm Watch Extended into Kansas

The season’s next big snow storm for the Rockies is already ramping up with heavy snow falling in southern Wyoming. 

I-80 Rocksprings, WY

It is falling behind another powerful cold front that is sinking southward along the Front Range and will spread southward into Colorado this evening and through tonight.  The snow will be heavy at times with accumulations in the Denver Metro Area to once again top 6” in most locations with a general 6” to 10” expected across the region. 

Like last week, as you head into the Foothills and begin increasing in elevation amounts will increase to 1 to 3 feet. The heaviest snowfall will fall between 2 am and 8 am MT.  As a result of the heavy snow expected plus gusty winds that will blow Winter Storm and Blizzard Warnings are in effect.

As Wednesday morning wears on, the snow will spread into Nebraska and western Kansas and possibly even stretching into the panhandles of Texas and Oklahoma once again. Snow will be heavy at times from southwest Kansas through central Kansas and into southeastern Nebraska into Wednesday evening. The snow will then continue to spread east, Wednesday night, into northwest and western Missouri including the Kansas City Metro Area.  I expect a  large swath of 4” to 8” to spread out of southwest Kansas into southeast Nebraska with a max band of 8” to 12” possible in southeastern Nebraska into far southwest Iowa.

This band of accumulating snow can move north or south a bit dependent on the exact track the storm system decides to take but confidence is high on a travel impacting storm system with widespread early snow along the I-70 corridor from Denver to Kansas City and along the I-80 corridor from Wyoming to Omaha, Nebraska.

So now is a great time to be ready to remove that snow as it looks like winter wants to hit early this season.

Make sure to get yours before they are gone and have your ice melt on hand and ready for any snow or ice that heads your way.
