Winds on the backside of the system are likely to be stronger across Nebraska and the surrounding areas where wind gusts of 50 to 60 mph will be possible on Wednesday. Ahead of the storm, winds could eclipse 40 miles per hour in some areas ahead of the cold front in the southern High Plains on Tuesday, and across Iowa and Minnesota on Wednesday. Some areas of the southwestern Plains, from western Kansas down into West Texas are going to be missed, however.Īnother hazard comes with strong winds. Damage will be possible to fields yet to be harvested, but the rains will be good for drier areas of the Southern Plains for winter wheat establishment. The severe threat will be more muted but continue into the Midwest on Wednesday and could repopulate across the Southern Plains and Delta regions on Thursday and Friday as the system sweeps the stalled front eastward. To the south, a line of scattered thunderstorms is expected Tuesday afternoon that should coalesce into a line of storms Tuesday night with all modes of severe weather possible transitioning to more of a strong wind threat as storms gel together. Snow is pegged anywhere between 8 to 24 inches when all is said and done, bogging down pastures and affecting livestock producers. But the rains will come with widespread amounts of 1 to 3 inches that should delay harvest. It should be just warm enough for rain elsewhere. To the west, it has already begun as snow, and that looks to continue from about the Black Hills westward. Moderate to heavy, steady precipitation will develop on Tuesday and follow the path of the low-pressure center through the Northern Plains and Minnesota. But this storm will have more far-reaching impacts. Two systems have preceded this large storm, bringing some moderate to heavy rain and some severe weather across the Plains and into the Midwest. That front will get picked up by another low-pressure center that will move along the front and sweep it out of the country on Saturday, leading to a period of almost a full week for major storm impacts across the country. As the system moves north into Canada, it will diminish, however, but stall its cold front from the Ohio Valley southwest into Texas.
A cold front extending to its south will sweep across the Central and Southern Plains with scattered showers and thunderstorms. The trough is starting to develop a strong low-pressure center in Colorado that will move northeast through the Northern Plains through early Thursday. That is just the first sign of a big storm to come.
It brought some snow already to portions of the Intermountain West and has bled some of that snow into the front range across Wyoming and southern Montana as well. And it has already started.Ī deep trough of low pressure has been building in the western United States since Oct. Rain, snow, severe weather, wind, freezing conditions - this system is going to have a whole bevy of impacts for agriculture across the country through Saturday. A strong storm system will bring multiple effects for agriculture across the U.S.
