Enormous storm could produce blizzard, widespread severe weather next week

Enormous storm could produce blizzard, widespread severe weather next week
By Alex Sosnowski, AccuWeather senior meteorologist
Published Apr. 7, 2022 1:26 PM EDT | Updated Apr. 8, 2022 9:52 AM EDT
An expansive and multi-faceted storm system is forecast to strengthen rapidly as it travels from the Rockies to the Great Plains next week, and AccuWeather meteorologists say it could result in a five-day stretch of threatening severe weather as well as a robust snowstorm that could produce dangerous blizzard conditions.
Some locations over the north-central United States may be buried under feet of snow, while a severe weather outbreak is destined to unfold and may stretch from the Gulf Coast to locations as far north as the Great Lakes.
Cold air diving into the western U.S. will collide with surging warmth and more humid air in the Eastern states and set the stage for a high-impact storm in between, according to AccuWeather Meteorologist Brandon Buckingham.
"Numerous disruptions to travel and shipping efforts are likely with the potential for power outages as a result of rain, thunderstorms, wind and snow from the unfolding and strengthening storm next week over the middle of the nation," Buckingham added.
