April 10 (Reuters) — Blizzards and windstorms will punish the U. S. Plains and Midwest on Wednesday as a powerful late winter storm threatens more flooding in areas like South Dakota’s Pine Ridge Indian Reservation and farms along the Missouri River.
High spring temperatures will give way to heavy snow, gale-force winds and life-threatening conditions across a swath of the central United States running from the Rockies to the Great Lakes, according to the National Weather Service (NWS).
The Pacific-born storm has already sparked flood evacuations in Oregon. Rain and then blowing snow was expected to hit the Rockies on Wednesday, before moving east into the plains, the NWS Forecast Office in Boulder, Colorado, reported.
