Winter Storm Watch issued March 2 at 12:36PM MST until March 4 at 11:00PM MST by NWS Goodland KS
* WHAT...Heavy wet snow and significant blowing snow forecast. Total snow accumulations around 4 inches possible. Winds could gust as high as 70 mph resulting in whiteout conditions. * WHERE...Portions of east central and northeast Colorado, northwest and west central Kansas, and southwest Nebraska. * WHEN...From Monday evening through Tuesday evening. * IMPACTS...The strong winds and weight of snow on tree limbs may down power lines and could cause sporadic power outages. The hazardous conditions will impact the Tuesday morning and evening commutes. Travel will become dangerous to even impossible. Strong northerly winds and blowing snow may place considerable stress on livestock and other outdoor animals. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...A wide range of snowfall amounts continue to remain forecast due to variations of timing with the changeover of rain to snow. A quicker changeover would lead to higher accumulations and a slower changeover would lead to lower amounts. Snow banding potential is possible as well; currently that potential is favored across eastern Colorado where localized higher to much amounts will possible. Where these occur at would support greater impacts to travel, trees and power lines.
