Powerful U.S. storms bring threats ranging from critical fire weather to blizzard conditions

LA Times  

Students arriving for classes walk past a roof that was sheared off by high winds at Plano West High School in Plano, Texas, on Tuesday. The week’s strong weather system will also bring “a threat of blizzard conditions, high winds, flash flooding, severe weather, dust storms and critical to extreme fire weather conditions to the nation’s heartland,” the National Weather Service said. The Central Plains and Midwest were bracing for blizzard conditions later Tuesday that forecasters warned could “make travel treacherous and potentially life-threatening.” The Nebraska Department of Transportation said conditions could mean low visibility and whiteout conditions across the state, and urged travelers to adjust their plans for Tuesday afternoon and into the night. Anne Kirkpatrick ordered parade-goers to not bring umbrellas, tents or “anything that could fly in the wind and cause mayhem.” Just outside New Orleans in neighboring Jefferson Parish, officials canceled planned Mardi Gras Day parades due to anticipated high winds and thunderstorms. Mardi Gras floats “could become unstable” and heavy winds could “blow down trees and power lines,” the National Weather Service warned, adding that gusts of up to 60 mph were expected Tuesday afternoon.
