Winter storm warnings for the West

Posted: 05:11 AM ET

There is a better chance of catching Lady GaGa in a power suit than seeing an on-time flight out of CA today. Another impulse is headed inland right now bringing rain, snow and fast winds to the West and Rockies. It’s raining from San Diego to Eureka, and heavy snow is piling up in the Sierra this morning. Winter storm warnings are peppered around CA, OR, WA, NV, UT, ID, and MT. I’ll have the latest information on the snowy weather. Wind warnings and advisories are in the same spot, with wind gusts to 80 mph possible over the highest peaks today.

The warm air is back in the Plains and SW this afternoon, with El Paso to around 80 degrees and Dallas around 75. It’ll be a little breezy this afternoon over the MW, and clouds will head eastward through the MW and NE. The SE will see some Atlantic moisture blow in from the East, so clouds will hang in there for FL, GA, and the Carolinas. We may even see some light rain out of that flow. I don’t expect the air travel to be disrupted much in the MW or East (except for your morning fog in KC), but the West coast is getting a nice hammering again. It’s the ‘ol conga line, and it’ll be dancing all over the West coast through at least Saturday. Hope your Wednesday will be great.

Hi Robin,

I had a child at the age of 17. I went to school two weeks after having my child to ensure that I graduated on time and with my class. Education is so important and must not be taken for granted. I am 33 years old and just graduated from college with a Bachelors Degree. I plan to have my Masters Program completed before this Christmas. I encourage everyone to make education a top priority.

Thanks

You are so funny about the Lady Gaga comment. I liked the green shirt and green tie that you wore on Wednesday's show. It just jumped out on the television when you stood in front of the weather map.
