The National Weather Service anticipates a bone-chilling drop in temperatures, with readings plummeting 20-30 degrees below the norm across the Northern Plains.
A relentless Northern Plains snow storm is set to pummel the northern United States once more, as forecasters predict multiple waves of heavy snowfall from Thursday night into Friday morning
These frigid conditions will result in treacherous Northern Plains snow storm-covered and icy roadways, complicating travel plans for the entire weekend. Residents in the vast expanse extending from Montana through the Northern Plains should brace themselves for single-digit to teen temperatures, along with occasional sub-zero wind chills.
As reported by AccuWeather‘s meteorologist Scott Homan, a broad swath of Northern Plains snow storm has already blanketed eastern Montana, the Dakotas, and the northwestern reaches of Minnesota. Homan noted the likelihood of moderate to heavy snowfall rates and the potential for blowing Northern Plains snow storms, particularly in the chillier areas due to brisk winds.
This week’s Northern Plains snow storm marks the first major snow event of the season for the Northern Plains, and another is looming, set to impact regions further south, towards the Rocky Mountains, per Homan’s projections
Colorado, southeastern Wisconsin, and southern Minnesota will also feel the brunt of the cold air, with the heaviest snowfall expected at high elevations southwest of Denver, where accumulations may reach 12 to 18 inches from Friday night through Sunday. On the flip side, the trailing edge of the Northern Plains snow storm will usher in icy conditions, extending from central Kansas back into northern Texas by Saturday evening into Sunday morning, causing travel hazards, particularly on elevated surfaces.
