A major winter storm is about to hit the US Midwest and chill parts of the country. This descent of polar air will move from north to south causing blizzards and heavy accumulations of snow. The US Meteorological Agency dubbed this storm “Izzy”.
Much of the eastern part of the country will be affected by this storm Izzy, but the US National Weather Service (NWS) has also issued winter storm warnings for much of the Midwest, and extreme conditions are expected. expected further south and east in areas unaccustomed to snow and cold, even in the middle of winter.
Snow and freezing rain will spread from Canada to the central states of the United States through Saturday, reaching the states of Kansas and Missouri, where the minimum temperature will reach -17 degrees, well below the averages of season.
As MESSY as it gets for forecasting!! I like this graphic though, since I think it portrays what different locations may see. EXPECT CHANGES.
