Southern Plains Rain Alert
We're in for some serious rainfall across the Southern Plains, especially from south-central Kansas through the Texas Big Bend today and tomorrow. Expect 2-4 inches of rain, possibly leading to flash floods. If you're driving along
Interstate 35 or
Interstate 40, keep an eye out for flooded sections and slippery roads. The thunderstorms could cause delays, so plan extra travel time for commutes or deliveries.
Central Rockies Snowfall
Over in the Central Rockies, snowfall is making its presence felt with up to a foot expected in the northern Colorado peaks. Travelers on
Interstate 70 should be prepared for challenging conditions, with snow-covered roads and reduced visibility. It's crucial to have your chains ready and drive cautiously through these areas.
First Fall Chill in the Central U.S.
The Central U.S. is getting a taste of fall as a strong high-pressure system brings cooler temperatures. Expect a 20-25 degree drop later this week, especially noticeable in places like
Interstate 80 and
Highway 75. As the first freeze of the season approaches, overnight lows might hit freezing by late Friday, so watch for icy patches on roads during early morning hours. It's a great time to check your vehicle's antifreeze as we transition to cooler conditions.
