“Heavy snow belts Rockies and Plains; Texas city to see 67-degree temperature drop,”
says the headline.
“By tomorrow morning we have … Amarillo at 30 and probably snowing,” Weather Channel meteorologist Kevin Roth said. “So in Amarillo we’re projecting a 67-degree drop from Tuesday afternoon to Thursday morning – so summer to winter.”
Meanwhile, “Cheyenne, Wyo., which hit 70 degrees Tuesday afternoon, was on the verge Wednesday of breaking its May snowfall record of 14 inches, Roth said.
“Cheyenne had eight inches as of midnight their time, and it’s been snowing steadily since that,” he said. “We think they’re going to end up with a good 12 to 18. … Welcome to May, right?”
The May snowstorm, which is expected to dump an unprecedented six to nine inches of snow from Denver to as far west as Minneapolis, could be “historic,” say meteorologists.
Nearly two feet of snow forecast
Nearly two feet of snow is forecast for the mountains of Colorado and Wyoming. Several inches could also fall by the end of the week in a band from Texas to Wisconsin, according to the National Weather Service.
Just to the east, cities in the foothills, including Denver, could see five to eight inches of snow, and roads could become icy and snow-packed, the weather service said.
