NORMAN, Okla. — Forecasters say a mixture of bad weather including heavy snow and tornadoes is expected as a strong storm system plows toward the central U.S. from the Rocky Mountains.
A blizzard warning was issued for today in the Great Plains east of Denver, while tornadoes and high winds could rake parts of the Midwest Wednesday.
“November has a history of producing some significant weather events. We will have to keep an eye on things,” said Greg Carbin, warning coordination meteorologist at the Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla.
Wet, heavy snow fell Tuesday morning in Nevada, shuttering schools in Reno and knocking out power to thousands before moving east. Northeastern Colorado and western Kansas and Nebraska expected 6 inches of snow and wind gusts up to 60 mph overnight — a combination that can cause white-out conditions.
