Western Storm to Eventually Target Northern High Plains
Apr 11, 2010; 1:11 PM ETShare |
.A storm yielding strong wind, soaking rain and even snow will leave the Rockies to target the northwestern Great Plains on Tuesday.
Strong winds gusting 40 to 50 mph will sweep not only the northern Plains, but a wind area from Montana and the Dakotas south to the panhandles region of Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico.
Southerly wind direction will predominate, but northwesterly winds will hold sway in Montana.
Heaviest rainfall, potentially exceeding 1 inch, will douse eastern Montana into the western Dakotas.
In central Montana, enough cold air will infiltrate to turn at least a little of the rain to wet snow.
Thunderstorms will erupt with greatest frequency over the northern and central High Plains, but a few will pop up eastward to Minnesota and Wisconsin. Localized high wind and hail will be possible.
Next target for the storm will be central Canada, where the storm will weaken appreciably on Wednesday.
