KANSAS CITY, Missouri (Reuters) - A spring snowstorm hit Colorado on Tuesday, canceling flights and closing schools as forecasters warned residents in the middle of the United States to brace for sleet, gusty winds, flash floods and tornadoes.
"A dynamic storm system evolving over the central United States will impact much of the nation with a variety of hazards," the National Weather Service said.
Rain turned to snow overnight in the Denver area, which was forecast to get up to 11 inches of snow, much of it by noon. Temperatures that had been in the low 70s (Fahrenheit) on Monday dropped into the teens on Tuesday.
Airline tracker service FlightAware.com said 175 flights in and out of Denver International Airport had been canceled. Most schools in the Denver area were closed, the Denver Post said.
Moderate to heavy snow and gusty winds were forecast for Colorado, Nebraska, South Dakota and Wyoming. Just a day earlier in northeast Colorado, four tornado sightings were reported.
