    Cross country storm

Coast-to-coast impacts
Cross country storm

A powerful storm will move across the country this week, bringing rain, snow and high winds.

The WeatherRadar shows a powerful storm moving out of the Northwest and into the northern Plains and Rockies today. Hundreds of thousands of customers are without power in parts of Washington, Oregon and Idaho after powerful winds blasted through the region.

This system will bring rain to the lower elevations and snow to the mountains and higher elevations today across parts of the Northwest, northern Plains and northern Rockies. Heavy mountain snow amounting to 1-3 feet through Thursday, will make travel difficult along mountain passes in the Rockies and Cascades.

The WindRadar shows high winds moving from the Northwest into the Plains and Rockies.

High winds will also bring their own issues. The WindRadar shows 50-70 mph gusts, with gusts upwards of 80 mph across higher elevations and downwind areas of those elevations. These high wind gusts will increase fire danger along Colorado's Front Range, including in cities like Denver and Colorado Springs.

Blowing snow across the northern Plains will also pose a significant travel threat. Snow bands and gusty winds will create whiteout conditions tonight into Thursday. Keep an eye on the development of this system with the WindRadar and the WeatherRadar.

The image shows an intense tropical cyclone over the western Pacific, east of Taiwan and the Philippines. The centre of the system is depicted as a light purple and white vortex with a clearly visible eye, surrounded by a ring of red and orange areas indicating the strongest wind speeds. A white arrow marks the typhoon’s predicted track towards the north-west, in the direction of Taiwan. To the west of the storm lie the Philippines, with the cities of Manila and Cebu; to the north of these lies Taiwan, with Taipei. Further west, the Chinese coast, including Hong Kong, and parts of Vietnam can be seen. The coloured wind map shows predominantly green areas outside the storm’s core, indicating significantly weaker winds. White streamlines illustrate the typhoon’s anti-clockwise circulation in the Northern Hemisphere. The highest wind speeds are concentrated around the eye of the cyclone.
