Spreading Like Wild Fire

Severe Weather Alert

  • I know this sounds like it is becoming repetitive but the threat of fires are serious this time of year. As predicted in yesterdays blog about the Central Plains having to watch out for Red Flag Warnings, the National Weather Service has posted these warnings for all of Nebraska and South Dakota; as well as west and central Kansas, eastern Montana, and finally eastern Colorado.  Yesterdays Winter Weather Watch for parts of California have been upgraded to Winter Storm Warnings.  Snowfall is expected to reach anywhere from 5" in some locations and up to a foot in others.


Winter Weather in October

  • Many regions are starting to feel the chill of fall in the air but there are some who are seeing the bounties of winter.  Snow is predicted to fall in the upper elevations of California, Nevada, Utah, and Colorado within the next two to three days.  The only areas predicted to get over 5" are in California but this is a sign that winter is soon to come.  Next week I will be posting a Winter Outlook everyday for 5 days, each day highlighting one region.
