Winter Storm Finn Spreading Snow, Strong Winds into Parts of The Midwest, Northeast

Winter Storm Finn is spreading snow and strong winds into the Midwest, Great Lakes and parts of the Northeast. Finn has already brought blizzard conditions to portions of the Plains. This storm will also bring severe weather to the South and flooding rain and high winds to portions of the East Coast.

Blizzard conditions with zero visibility were reported in Burlington, Colorado, and Kansas on Monday. Winds gusted up to 80 mph near Campo, Colorado, and 76 mph in Raton, New Mexico. Finn has spawned whiteout conditions in six states (New Mexico, Colorado, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska). In the panhandles of Texas and Oklahoma, snow piled up as high as the floorboards of vehicles, winds gusted as high as 60 mph and visibility dropped to near zero. Several accidents were reported in Dimmett, Texas.

The combination of snow and wind resulted in snow drifts of 4 to 5 feet in Boise City, Oklahoma, and all roads were closed Monday afternoon. Interstate 70 closed in western Kansas and Interstate 80 was closed in central Nebraska during the afternoon and evening hours.

The National Weather Service has issued various winter weather alerts: Winter storm warnings and winter weather advisories extend from the Plains into the Midwest and Great Lakes regions, as well as into parts of the Northeast.
