Also known as a “Colorado Low”, these systems tend to bring heavy snow into the Midwest and even sometimes to the Northeast. For this system, Winter Storm ...

If you have to hit the road on Wednesday, be prepared for extremely difficult driving conditions and to be stuck on the roadways potentially. Through the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes snow totals won’t be quite as impressive and there are multiple reasons for this. Because of the terrain of the Great Plains, there isn’t much to hold blowing snow back – travel will be extremely difficult at times. In while parts of SE Nebraska and NE Kansas won’t see much snow, the ice potential will still be a risk. A dip in the jet stream will create a surface low in the downwind zone of the Colorado Rockies, which will move northeast through the end of the week. There will be a significant cut-off south of Monument Hill so don’t expect a big system for areas south of Colorado Springs.
