(MORE: Crashes, Closures Blamed on Frona) Snow has ended over southern California, but winter storm warnings have been posted for other parts of the Southwest, including the canyonlands of southern Utah, Grand Canyon National Park, higher elevations to the north and east of Phoenix and Tucson, western New Mexico, and a swath of western and central Texas. An arctic air mass is supplying the necessary frigid temperatures for snow, and the accompanying very strong area of high pressure from Canada has helped force the cold air through multiple mountain ranges all the way down into the Desert Southwest. Meanwhile, energy in the upper atmosphere is providing the necessary lift to squeeze out moderate to heavy snowfall over a large area. (MORE: Arctic Chill Returns to End 2014) Current Winter Radar Information updates every 5 minutes. Note that mountain ranges may block radar signals, causing some areas of snowfall to not appear on the map. 48-Hour Snowfall Forecast Snow on the Desert Floor A strong jet-stream disturbance in the upper atmosphere has plunged into the Desert Southwest, meeting up with more arctic air arriving from the north and northeast and ingesting some additional moist air, as well. Snow began to fall throughout the Southwest on Tuesday, generating even a light amount of accumulation in the deserts of Joshua Tree National Park. Up to 3 inches had accumulated in Murrieta, California early Wednesday morning, prompting vehicles to pull off Interstate 15 due to slick roads. As much as 6 to 10 inches of snow has already fallen around Lake Elsinore, California, at an elevation of only 1400 feet, breaking many tree limbs and stranding as many as 50 people on Ortega Highway Route 74, according to California Highway Patrol. The airport in Flagstaff, Arizona reported 16.9 inches of snow as of 5 am MST Thursday. Snow continued over much of Arizonas higher elevations and the canyonlands of southern Utah, spreading into southwest Colorado and parts of northern New Mexico through early Thursday, New Years Day. (FORECAST: Bryce Canyon Natl Park | Flagstaff, Arizona) Some rare light snow has also fallen on the valley floor in Las Vegas. McCarran International Airport, the official observation site for Las Vegas, reported light snow Wednesday from 9:40 to 9:54 a.m. and again from 10:45 to 11 a.m. Only a trace fell, but that was enough to tie Las Vegass record snowfall for New Years Eve. Accumulating snow in Vegas is not unheard of, but significant snowfall on the valley floor is quite rare. Here are the dates of the last five one-inch snowfalls at McCarran: Dec. 17, 2008: 3.6 inches Dec. 30, 2003: 1.3 inches Dec. 6, 1998: 1.0 inch Feb. 19, 1990: 1.4 inches Jan. 30-Feb. 1, 1979: 7.8 inches (MORE: 10 Shocking Snow Cities) Icy Southern Plains Hazardous driving conditions developed in west Texas as an area of light freezing rain and freezing drizzle developed Tuesday. Accidents were reported in the Midland-Odessa area Tuesday afternoon. Light snow was reported farther north in west Texas. This light precipitation diminished somewhat Wednesday, but spotty freezing drizzle and temperatures well below freezing have kept road conditions treacherous across much of west Texas. (MORE: Check the Commuter Forecast) Up to 0.5 of freezing rain and sleet accumulations were reported on Thursday in Garden City and Eldorado, Texas. Freezing rain and sleet will continue through Friday in parts of Texas as the upper-level system finally begins lifting out of the Southwest. With cold air near the surface in place, that should spawn an area of light to moderate freezing rain and sleet across a large part of west and central Texas, and possibly parts of north Texas as well. Patchy light freezing rain or drizzle is also possible over parts of Oklahoma on Friday as well. (FORECAST: Midland | Okla. City | Fayetteville) Frona: Midwest/East Threat Winter Storm Frona (froh-na; Greek, short for Sofronia; related to the word for wise) will write its final chapter this weekend in the Midwest and East. Our forecast guidance is beginning to consolidate around a general scenario, combining Frona with a reinforcing arctic front diving into the northern Plains to spin up a quick-moving snowstorm this weekend in parts of the Midwest and interior Northeast. (MAPS: 7-Day U.S. Snow/Ice/Rain Forecasts) Saturday: Snow blankets the central Plains. Freezing rain changing to snow may lead to hazardous travel from parts of Kansas into northern and central Illinois. Freezing rain changing to rain from the southern Great Lakes, Shenandoah Valley and parts of interior Pennsylvania, central and Upstate New York. Snow, sleet, freezing rain may develop late in New England. A band of snow associated with the arctic front will blanket areas from the Front Range of the Rockies to northern Minnesota. Sunday: Snow showers continue in the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley. Snow to freezing rain near the U.S. Canadian border in the northeast. Rain farther south. For now, this doesnt appear to be a crippling, heavy snowstorm in the Midwest or East, as it will be moving quickly into Canada and some areas will be starting as snow before changing quickly to rain. Parts of the Upper Midwest, Upstate New York and northern New England could pick up 6 inches or more of total snowfall through Sunday. That said, this may be the first significant accumulating snow in quite some time to parts of the Upper Midwest and interior Northeast. Frona may snarl post-holiday travel at some major airport hubs, not simply due to snow, but also due to low clouds and wind.light rain diffrent parts of those area usa and mexcio 30-40% chance of light rain 1-3 inches of light rain heavy rain for texas state eastern oklanhoma state southeaster missouri arkansas louisania state southern state sc and nc state virgina west virgina maryland state tn state ky state 4 great lake southern il state indania ohio southern michigan state pittburge pa state nj state brooklny ny state 60-100% heavy rain 3-12 inches of rain flooding more like lee texas and southern state frezzing rain warning for western texas southern oklanhoma state central bc canada 1-3 inches of frezzing rain very dangerous drving and icy roads condition winter snow storm for yukon canada southern manbitoa canada kerona dryern fort france ontario canada fargo nd state northern minnsota state southern bc canada washington state all way albany ny state upper eastern state southern quebec canada 6-20 inches of snow blowing and drifting snow visibilty be at 0 very dangerous drving and snow pack and whiteout and icy roads condition bizzard warning for yukon canada nu canada northern quebec canada 3-8 inches of snow blowing and drifting snow visibilty be at 0 very dangerous drving snow pack and whiteout and icy roads condition snowfall for higher mountaijn or flatland area for yukon canada nu canada western canada minnsota upper mid western state montana idaho washington state oregon wy state salt lake city utah state colorado nebraska kansas western oklanhoma new mexcio western texas state iowa northwestern missouri state 4 great lake area wisconsin northern il state michigan state gary indania northern ohio state ontario canada pa state ny state new england state upper eastern state quebec and marinetime canada 3-12 inches of snow blowing and drifting snow visibilty be at 0 very dangerous drving and snow pack and whiteout icy roads condition lake effect snow for wisconsin northern il state michigan state soo ste marie michigan soo ste marie ontario canada wawa white river all way down parry sound huntvilles gravehurst orilla barrie eastern ontario canada ny state manie state gasep bay quebec and marinetime canada 3-6 inches of snow visibilty be at 0 very dangerous drving and snow pack and whiteout and icy roads condition none sever thunderstorm for arkansas state maybe sever isolated thunderstorm high wind warning for nwt canada nu canada parts of western canada northern minnsota state upper mid western state wy state idaho az state new mexcio colorado western kansas parts of southern state eastern sea broad state 4 great lake area parts of ontario canada ohio west virgina pa state ny state new england state upper eastern state quebec and eastern canada 18 or 36 mph winds windchill warning for alaska state all way nu canada western canada minnsota state upper mid western state parts of western state all way nevada colorado western kansas az new mexcio all way up 4 great lake area wisconsin northern michigan state northern ontario canada northern quebec canada -40 or -3 very cold below 0 weather yall frost warning for alaska state all way nu canada western canada minnsota state upper mid western state california az state nevada new mexcio all way up 4 great lake area wisconsin michigan state ontario canada ny state upper eastern state quebec canada black road icy condition very dangerous drving on icy bridge condition foggy or ice foggy for parts of western canada nd and sd state california state all way texas oklanhoma arkansas louisania southern state florida state visibilty be at 0 very dangerous drving and thick foggy or ice foggy condition right till by morning lift off by afternoon be caution keep eyes on it yall tune weather channel weather network wx cb radio scanner weather radio cell phone or desktop laptop tablet weather yall be safe drive safe god bless yall bigger both thumbs up drivers everybody else here :) 10-4
