A massive winter storm is poised to lash much of the US this week
A massive winter storm poised to lash much of the US this week, will bring a mix of heavy snow and rain along with gusty winds – and has put more than 40 million people across 22 states under winter weather alerts Tuesday. The alerts stretch from the West Coast through the Midwest and to the New England coast. The main impacts Tuesday are expected to be in the West and Midwest, including Minneapolis, where the first round of historic snowfall is possible.
This combined with strong winds of 40 to 50 mph will create blizzard conditions which will make travel across the region difficult to impossible and could lead to power outages. More locally, snowfall is expected to be historic for Minneapolis this week, as multiple rounds through Thursday are forecast to bring accumulation of more than 2 feet – with the addition of strong wind gusts of 50 mph by Wednesday.
