Snow is blanketing much of the Rocky Mountains as a powerful storm system moves across the U.S. Denver is expected to see about a foot of snow before the storm moves away early Friday, making travel difficult, to say the least. The higher elevations will likely see several feet of snow. March snowstorms are fairly common in the Denver area, but it’s been a while since the Mile High City has experienced one.
Dangerous storms are plowing across the Midwest on Thursday morning. However, the zone under threat of severe weather will expand into the South later in the day. Tornadoes, large hail and damaging winds are all possible, with thunderstorms developing Thursday evening. The worst of the weather is expected to happen in parts of Arkansas, Missouri and Oklahoma.
High Wind Warnings cover much of California. Forecasters are warning of damaging winds that could gust above hurricane strength in some places. In Southern California, these types of offshore winds are called the Santa Anas, and they can create real problems. Areas around Los Angeles, such as Anaheim and San Bernardino, could see winds gusting to 70 mph.
