The big story this week will be the storm coming through the West into the western Great Lakes. Many areas of the West will get heavy snow and high winds. Please see Ken Clark's blog for California weather specifics. Some comments from me...

1. Denver will get heavy snow and probably 6-12 inches by Wednesday into Thursday...

2. Areas from eastern Oregon to Utah and Wyoming will have 2-6 inches of snow.

3. Severe weather will develop from Missouri to Texas Thursday and Friday. Looks to me that a good outbreak of wind damage and tornadoes may occur.

4. High winds will hit the Great Lakes region Friday into Saturday. Winds will be gusting 40-60 mph.

5. Winnipeg will have a blizzard Friday and Saturday that will shut down the city the way I see it right now. I can see over a foot of snow with winds over 50 mph.
