Multiple parts of the U.S. are facing a miserable Easter weekend with various winter weather alerts issued in nine states. The National Weather Service has issued full warnings in California, Wyoming, and Nevada, as well as additional alerts for Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, Wisconsin, Maine, and Alaska. The warnings include heavy snow, strong wind gusts, and difficult travel conditions in many areas. Residents are advised to take precautions if they must travel during the alert period.
In California, several winter storm warnings are in place across different zones, including the Santa Barbara County Interior Mountains, Southern Ventura County Mountains, Northern Ventura County Mountains, and various other corridors and mountain ranges. Heavy snowfall of up to 30 inches is expected in some areas, along with wind gusts reaching speeds of up to 65 mph. Residents are urged to prepare for emergency situations by having extra supplies in their vehicles. The state has already experienced an abnormally wet winter with significant snow and rain since January.
In Wyoming, Cheyenne is facing two winter weather warnings for the Sierra Madre Range and the Snowy Range. Patchy blowing snow is expected to significantly reduce visibility, potentially causing issues for snowmobilers and hikers. In Nevada, Las Vegas and Reno are also under winter weather warnings for heavy snow in the Spring Mountains-Red Rock Canyon area and the Greater Lake Tahoe area. Less severe winter weather advisories have been issued in other states, including Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, Wisconsin, Maine, and Alaska.
Travel could be difficult in many of these areas due to slippery roads and reduced visibility caused by the snow and wind. The late March storm is expected to impact over half a million square miles of north-central land in the U.S. throughout the week. Spring storms have been affecting the transition from winter to spring this year, bringing unexpected winter weather conditions to various regions. Residents are advised to stay informed of weather updates and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety during this time of increased winter weather activity.
