The same system that is set to cause a severe weather threat across the Deep South this week is also expected to cause a significant winter weather threat from the Rockies to the Upper Midwest. The system has been named Winter Storm Lola by The Weather Channel.

A classic springtime storm is packing high winds and snowfall in the Plains and Midwest, resulting in blizzard conditions for some areas.

Blizzard Warnings and Winter Storm Warnings are already in effect for parts of the Midwest with heavy snowfall, thunderstorms, and strong winds expected.
