While beautiful spring temperatures have settled into the Plains and Midwest, folks there shouldn't get used to it. There's a storm on the way that's going to remind Midwesterners that winter's never over till it's over.
The potential is there for a"bomb cyclone" to impact the Plains this week. That's an area of low pressure that drops 24 millibars in 24 hours -- aka a potent, rapidly intensifying storm system. This would be the second time in less than a month a storm of this magnitude has developed in the Plains. It's rare enough to have one form inland, much less two.Typically we see"bomb cyclones" form off the US East Coast in the form of nor'easters.
Blizzard vs snow storm explained 01:20Overnight temperatures in the Plains will drop nearly 40 degrees in just 12 hours, including in Denver -- which is expecting a high of 80 degrees Tuesday and near blizzard conditions by Wednesday night. Winter storm warnings and watches stretch from the Rockies to the Great Lakes.There are blizzard warnings for three-quarters of a million people in western Nebraska, South Dakota and southwestern Minnesota.
Even if this storm doesn't become a bomb cyclone, it's still going to be extremely powerful. And after temperatures hit the mid-60s to mid-70s this past weekend, the drastic change will leave millions of Americans wishing spring weather would hurry up and stay.
