From the Daily Mail: More than a dozen US states are bracing for severe weather on Tuesday, bringing blizzards to the north and tornadoes to the south.
The National Weather Service (NWS) shows a significant winter storm, named ‘Lola,’ is making its way across parts of the Plains and Midwest that could see up to 18 inches.
‘Whiteout conditions are expected and will make travel treacherous and potentially life-threatening. Plan on slippery road conditions,’ the NWS shared in a statement.
‘The hazardous conditions could impact the Tuesday morning and evening commutes. Very strong winds could cause extensive tree damage.’
The National Weather Service has issued winter weather alerts from the Rockies to the Central Plains and upper Midwest.
Weather warnings issued include the following:
- Blizzard warnings have been issued for parts of Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, and Minnesota.
- Tornado watch for parts of Texas, Arkansas and Oklahoma.
- Up to 75-mile-per-hour winds are expected across the Dallas-Fort Worth area, eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas. These regions could see ‘a few tornadoes,’ damaging winds and hail up to 1.5 inches.
- Snow is expected from northeastern Colorado to South Dakota and central and western Minnesota.
- Less than six inches of snow is expected in the Central Plains and upper Midwest, while 12-18 inches is expected in central parts of Wyoming.
In one frightening situation on Monday and Tuesday, parts of Texas and New Mexico were hit by a dust storm that plunged the areas into darkness and prompted officials to shut down interstates.
