Western US to Expect Cooler Air with Potential Snow

According to the weather forecast, Western United States would feel cooler air starting Monday, with a potential of snow in some areas.

Warmth to challenging nearly-high record temperatures persisted in some parts of the United States.

In California, the hot weather to the extreme heat wave affected the power distribution to residents, which encouraged them to conserve electrical power.

The coming cooler air would help residents in the Western U.S., which could extend up to the east to alleviate the warm-to-hot temperature.

In the recent weather update from AccuWeather on October 7, Storm Warning Meteorologist Matthew Massey explained that a strong area of low pressure would help feel a taste of fall to the Northwest.

The report noted that it would be windy conditions and lower temperatures. Snow could be possible for higher elevations.

The weather website report also added the following:

• Western Montana, in higher elevations, would see snowflakes fall on Tuesday afternoon. On Wednesday, part of western Colorado in the highest part would feel snowflakes.
• The possibility of snow would move southward on Tuesday night.
• Yellowstone National Park would see light snow accumulation on snow levels from 7,000 feet to 8,500 feet.

While parts of the western U.S. would have cold air temperatures, Pacific Northwest would feel the unseasonable warmth, and the warm to hot temperature would feel like summer even if it is now in October.

AccuWeather reported that the warm stretch would reach near-record highs, reduce air quality and be mainly dry.

Meanwhile, an update to the current developments in Florida showed that a bridge was also constructed in Pine Islands to help reconnect and deliver basic supplies to affected communities. Residents slowly return to their homes.

Disaster relief supports have been continuing to help people affected by Hurricane Ian.

Warm to hot temperature

Although the weather would feel snowy in the western U.S and give them a taste of fall, people living in areas with recorded warm to hot temperatures must be wary of the effects on health.

Record-challenging heat could threaten health, causing heat fatigue, exhaustion, or stroke.

• Look for cooling places or go to areas with cool weather.
• Avoid outdoor activities during the height of the heat.
• Turn on the air conditioning, but makes sure to conserve electricity.
• Very important to drink plenty of water.
• Report or go to the nearest hospital for heat-related health risks.
