The latest forecast showed that snow and rain would unload in the Western US and Southern Rockies this week as the winter storm brings significant road hazards and cold-related health concerns.
In a recent advisory, the National Weather Service (NWS) warned of a developing winter storm, bringing heavy snow conditions to parts of Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma.
The winter storm will cause travel hazards due to windy and ice-covered roads. Americans should stay alert for reduced road visibility and slippery travel this weekend.
In the Rockies and Plains, people can anticipate a temperature drop, which is 10 to 20 degrees below normal. The snowy outlook in the US also shows the arriving winter and challenging cold.

The NWS Weather Discussion explained that a winter storm could spread over parts of Central Plains on the weekend. The forecast also monitors an upper-level trough in the Central and Southern Rockies.
Meanwhile, homeowners should stay alert for heavy snowfall with gusty winds. The heavy snow conditions can unload from Southwestern to Northeastern Kansas City.

On the other hand, rounds of rain are expected in South Florida on the weekend. People should stay alert for threats of flooding and flash floods. The rain can likely spread over the Eastern US and Lower Mississippi Valley.
In the Southeast and Ohio Valley, residents can expect moderate rainfall, including in the Gulf Coast and New England. In the Midwest and Northeastern US, the forecast added that a rainy outlook is also possible due to potential lake-effect snow in the region.
Furthermore, below-average temperatures can be likely in the Central with potential 20s and 30s. Western US can also anticipate below-average temperatures with 30s and 40s.
Desert Southwest and Central California can feel temperature low in the late week.
