A storm system set to emerge from the Rockies later in the week will bring blizzard conditions, as well as needed moisture, to portions of the central Plains.
There is the potential for flight and ground travel disruptions from Denver to Chicago. There is also the potential for significant moisture in the drought-stricken region.
While the storm will affect a vast area from Texas to the Dakotas, the wintry side of the storm will affect areas from the Rockies to the Upper Midwest during the second half of this week while hitting areas from California to Utah, Arizona and New Mexico with snow, wind and cold.
Locally blinding, heavy snow will fall over the passes of the Rockies.
The area of snow will expand reaching from Denver, Colo. to Grand Island, Neb. and Kansas City, Mo. by Wednesday night.
The strongest winds will be on the front side of the storm and its snow, creating low visibility and extensive drifting. Several hours of blizzard conditions are possible as far north as Omaha.
