Winter storm expected to continue dumping snow on E
The National Weather Service in Jackson, Kentucky, says up to 20 inches of snow fell in the region, the most since 1993.
The impending storm on Tuesday has generated a lot of media coverage, but it’s too early to tell exactly how much snow will fall where, Cogill said. Any amount of snow and this wind would turn things into a blizzard. Tolby said temperatures will drop throughout Saturday with those snow showers coming in.
The storm system will bring snow starting Tuesday morning and continue throughout the day.
The storm will hit with the most severity in the Preston, Ashton, Island Park, Victor, Driggs, Soda Springs, Grace, Bancroft, Lava Hot Springs, Montpelier and Georgetown areas – all of which are forecast to receive up to a foot or more of snow.
The storm will also impact most of the rest of Idaho as well as much of Oregon, Montana, Wyoming, Utah and Nevada.
Snow was expected to be present Saturday night before tapering off and reappearing Sunday afternoon. This could spread heavy snow from parts of Colorado and southern Wyoming, into parts of Nebraska, western Kansas, New Mexico, even possibly parts of the Oklahoma and Texas panhandles. “But you’re under a winter storm watch from Sunday night through Monday as a big storm enters the Four Corners”.
Saturday’s high in Madison was 42 at 4:08 p.m., 15 degrees above the normal high and 5 degrees below the record high of 47 for January 30, set in 1974. “That’s why it is hard to really want to throw out those numbers and say what’s going to happen”, says Halbach.
