Early Monday, six states were on high alert as the National Weather Service (NWS) predicted a significant snowstorm. Wyoming, Montana, South Dakota, New York, Michigan, and Alaska were expecting snowfall, with some areas in Alaska potentially receiving up to 24 inches. This weather event can make roads slippery and visibility poor, which is risky for travelers. Plus, power outages and health issues for infants and seniors are real concerns.

Wyoming, Montana, and South Dakota were under advisories, while Michigan and Alaska faced warnings. Specific locations like Thompson Pass in Alaska could see snow piling up to 2 feet. The NWS advised drivers to be cautious and prepare for difficult road conditions. Weather can change quickly, so it’s essential to stay updated.

Social media buzzed with meteorologists sharing forecasts. The NWS Weather Prediction Center mentioned an upcoming Arctic blast affecting the eastern U. S. Meteorologist Collin Rogers warned of lake effect snow showers intensifying in West Michigan.

These weather alerts were set to expire by Tuesday and Wednesday mornings, but forecasts can change, so keeping an eye on NWS updates is crucial.
