“A major winter storm will continue to

impact parts of the northern/central Plains
and Upper Midwest with heavy snow,
freezing rain, and strong winds through
Tuesday night. The combination of heavy
snow and strong winds (gusts up to 55
mph) will produce blizzard conditions for
central South Dakota into parts of
Nebraska, Kansas, and Colorado resulting
in difficult to near impossible travel," said
the National Weather Service in a post on
X (formerly Twitter).

Travel conditions in the Plains, Midwest,

and South were predicted to be affected
through Christmas Day.

“While a White Christmas may be exciting

for those nestled at home, the heavy
snowfall rates and reduced visibilities due
to blowing snow will make for hazardous,
to even impossible, travel conditions," the
NWS said.

Post Christmas, there’s a high chance of

rainfall along the East Coast as the storm
is expected to move into the Northeast
and upper Midwest.

By Wednesday, parts of Northern

California to the Pacific Northwest may
see rain and mountain snow from an
approaching Pacific storm.
