Cold air pooling in from Canada is dropping temperatures for the northern portion of the United States. These temperatures are below average for this time of year, and early season snow is being seen across the high plains. Many cities will only reach the 30s and 40s for the high temperature over the next few days. Winter weather alerts are in effect for Wyoming and South Dakota. Snow is looking to be consistent for the high plains over the next few days, not just during the early morning and late evening hours, but also for the afternoon hours. Most areas will be reaching 1 to 3 inches of snow over the course of the next 3 days, but some areas, in the purple, will be reaching 6 to 12 inches of snow.
