Winter Storm Olive is underway this morning, but the worst of its blizzard, heavy snow and ice impacts are still to come. Here's the latest:
There has been, and continues to be,on the likelihood of at least a foot of snow from parts of South Dakota into Minnesota, northern Wisconsin and northern Michigan. This includes the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area, where this could be the metro's heaviest snowstorm in at least 12 years.At least 6 inches of snow is a good bet in much of the Rockies and High Plains of Montana and Wyoming, and the high country of Idaho, Utah, Colorado and Arizona.
Travel could become extremely difficult, if not impossible, over areas from Wyoming into South Dakota, central and southern Minnesota and into northern Wisconsin. Roads, including interstates, could become impassable or may close, especially in rural areas. Some power outages and downed tree limbs or trees could also result from the weight of the snow combined with the force of the strong winds.To add to the travel headaches, a band of sleet and freezing rain is expected to accompany the storm from the southern Great Lakes into the interior Northeast and New England Wednesday into Thursday.A few areas - indicated by the darker colors in the map below - could see greater ice accumulations capable of at least some tree damage and power outages.
In this case, sufficiently cold air isn't all that widespread, but it will dive into the West, Northern Plains and Great Lakes while leaking southward out of eastern Canada into northern New England and parts of the interior Northeast.
