Like the March “bomb cyclone,” it might set some records.
A powerful low-pressure system is expected to be in the Plains on Wednesday. By Ian Livingston Ian Livingston Email Bio Follow April 8 at 1:53 PM For the second time this spring, a powerful, probably historic storm is set to rapidly strengthen in the Plains this week. Like its predecessor, the March “bomb cyclone,” it is expected to generate blizzard conditions in some areas and heavy rain, thunderstorms and flooding in others, along with a sprawling area of high winds.
— David Roth April 7, 2019 Pressure at the storm’s center is expected to drop to 980 millibars or lower. The lower the pressure, the stronger the storm. Compared with the low pressure of 968 millibars associated with the bomb cyclone a few weeks ago in Colorado, this latest storm may be slightly less intense. But it’s still about as low as pressure gets in the region this time of year.
“Strong and gusty winds will likely result in blowing snow and perhaps blizzard conditions for some areas,” wrote the Weather Prediction Center in its recent outlook for the storm. — NWS Goodland April 8, 2019 “This pattern is noted for its association with southern Great Plains wildfire outbreaks,” wrote the Storm Prediction Center.
Some areas of southeast South Dakota, southern Minnesota and northern Iowa plus Nebraska may pick up as much as three inches or more of precipitation in the form of rain and snow. Fortunately, there is no real snowpack left there to melt underneath the additional precipitation anticipated, which made flooding considerably worse a few weeks ago.
