Winter Storm Warnings Issued for 4 States as 6 Inches of Snow, 40 mph Winds Approach

The official start of spring is long gone, but Old Man Winter doesn't appear to be going anywhere just yet.

Despite fits of warmer weather, heavy snowfall keeps showing up around the country – a full week into April. The National Weather Service is calling for even more snowfall early this week as the country gets back into a work rhythm following the holiday weekend.

"A couple of weak upper level systems will bring a chance for showers to the Southwest U.S. tonight," the National Weather Service said. "Energy along a warm front across the Central Plains may bring a compact, but intense, area of snowfall from far eastern Nebraska into southwest Iowa with potential for 6+ inches of snowfall through Tuesday morning."

Four States Hit With Winter Weather Warnings

The National Weather Service issued winter weather warnings for Alaska, Iowa, Missouria and Nebraska on Monday night as "heavy" snowfall of more than six inches and strong winds up to 45 mph are expected to hit.

Alaska: The Kuskokwim Delta Coast and Nunivak Island, Western Capes, including the cities of Goodnews Bay, Toksook Bay, Quinhagak, Platinum, Mekoryuk, and Kipnuk are expected to see up to six inches of snowfall and 40 mph winds.

Iowa: The NWS is calling for moderate to heavy snowfall in the forecast to occur in a band over southwest Iowa beginning late this evening and continuing into Tuesday morning. Snow amounts around two to four inches are expected, with a narrow swath of higher amounts nearing six inches or more possible within parts of the advisory area.

Missouri: The cities of Green City, Unionville, Grant City, Bethany, Milan, Princeton, and Mercer are expected to see a light dusting of up to two inches of snow, though a narrower band of higher accumulation is possible.

Nebraska: Two to four inches of snowfall are expected across the state, though more than six inches is possible in local areas. Those in the state were warned to plan on slippery road conditions. The hazardous conditions could impact the Tuesday morning commute, according to the NWS forecast.

The winter weather warnings are expected to last through Tuesday afternoon.
