A new winter storm is bringing heavy snow to states across the western and central U.S., following blizzard conditions in the Midwest earlier in the week. Winter storm warnings have been issued in Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, Nebraska, and Iowa, with snowfall making travel difficult and dangerous. Strong winds are also expected to cause power outages and disruptions. The storm is forecasted to bring up to a foot of snow to the mountains before moving east towards the Appalachians on Saturday. While the storm may cause traffic delays and airport disruptions, major cities are not expected to see significant snowfall. Meanwhile, Texas is still cleaning up after tornadoes tore through the state, with crews confirming at least five tornadoes and warnings of increased wildfire risk in southwest Texas due to high winds and dry conditions. Residents are advised to avoid open flames and activities that could spark dangerous wildfires.
