Discussion

Two powerful weather systems will impact the nation over the next few days which includes the big travel day tomorrow and Turkey Day on Thursday. The first system is already bringing heavy snow to the Rocky Mountain States and this storm will intensify rapidly as it heads towards the Upper Midwest on Wednesday. The result will be a wide swath of significant accumulating snow from Denver to Minneapolis - just in time for Thanksgiving Day. Another storm will become a powerhouse for the west coast and it will bring damaging (hurricane-force) winds and heavy mountain snows of more than a foot (e.g. Sierra Nevada). This storm will arrive tonight near the California/Oregon border and then will begin to gradually weaken as it moves inland.
