Half of America's states are at risk due to a severe winter storm: a warning has been issued

A storm warning has been issued across much of the United States this week. Severe winter storm could bring dangerous weather with lots of snow, freezing rain and ice across a vast area of ​​the country from February 1 to 4, reports GIZMODO.

Winter Storm Landon is the result of a cold front moving into the Midwest and central US, supported by icy Arctic air. When it meets a southward-moving jet stream, it spreads moisture, creating ideal conditions for severe weather.

Storm warnings are currently in effect covering about 1,5 km of the US, stretching diagonally northeast from Colorado Springs, Colorado and parts of northern Texas to Chicago and Detroit. Within a week, Landon could affect residents from Texas to Maine.

The storm is still forming, so predicting what will happen is still a lot of guesswork - conditions could change significantly over the next 48 hours. But early forecasts show pretty tough conditions in several different states starting on the evening of Feb. 1, when snow and rain - a winter mix - is expected to begin in an area stretching from the Rocky Mountains to parts of the Great Lakes.

It is expected that such weather will last until February 2-3. Some parts of Colorado can get up to 30 cm of snow, while snow is possible even in some parts of northern Texas.

The National Weather Service shows parts of 15 states from New Mexico to New Hampshire are under the influence of bad weather—not as severe, but which is "favorable" for a winter storm to develop.

Part of the mid-country, stretching from New Mexico and Colorado, through Kansas, Missouri, and Illinois to parts of Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio, is under a winter storm warning as of Feb. 1, which is very serious. Heavy snow and ice is forecast, as well as possible snow storms. Parts of Illinois and Missouri, which are almost entirely under a winter storm warning, could see 30 cm of snow or more.

What awaits locations farther east depends on how the storm develops, but forecasters say heavy snow is possible in New York on Feb. 3, while "rain, snow, freezing rain, sleet, it can all happen ” in parts of Ohio and Pennsylvania, according to the National Weather Service in Pittsburgh.

Parts of the northeast could experience freezing snow later this week, but warmer winds are likely to replace most of the snow with rain by the time the storm hits the mid-Atlantic and New England.

Forecasters say travel is likely to be difficult or impossible in some places. The Federal Aviation Administration, which does not cancel individual flights, advised travelers in a tweet on January 31 to monitor their flights and listen to airline announcements about their specific flights.
