Important Takeaways:
- When you think about Hawaii, what comes to mind? Warm beaches, swaying palm trees and pineapples? Probably not a blizzard. But this week, meteorologists say hurricane-force winds and 2 feet of snow will grace the peaks of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa in the island state.
- Winds of 120 mph were clocked at the Maui County comms station on the summit of Haleakala Thursday night, the National Weather Service reported. Over a foot of rain had fallen on the island of Maui in the last day, with 13.18″ reported at Red Hill. A number of roads were closed due to fallen trees and flooding.

Important Takeaways:
- Heavy snow and ice will fall in eight states from Texas to the Carolinas late Monday into Wednesday, leading to dangerous conditions in places where the severity of snowfall could be historic. Winter storms of this magnitude are rare along this 1,500-mile corridor, where winter storm warnings, watches and advisories are widespread
- The worst of the weather will probably track near the Interstate 10 corridor between Texas and northern Florida, with Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia also expecting snow. In some places, the wet snow may bring down roofs, overhangs and power lines.
- In Houston, George Bush Intercontinental Airport has suspended flight operations starting at midnight late Monday. In New Orleans, 3 to 6 inches of snow on Tuesday could amount to the city’s biggest snowfall on record. In Florida, a winter storm watch was issued for the first time in 11 years — and the snowstorm could become the biggest in the state’s recorded history in terms of snowfall.
- Freezing temperatures may last for more than 24 hours along the Gulf Coast, meaning that snow and ice won’t melt right away and dangerous conditions will linger even after the storm ends.

Important Takeaways:
- Yet another winter storm is heading for Texas, and this one could bring more dangers than Winter Storm Blair.
- The second major winter storm of 2025 is expected to have a more southern impact before turning towards the Northeast, AccuWeather warns. Cities including Dallas, Nashville and Atlanta have chances of facing snow and ice in the coming days.
- Unlike the polar vortex, which brought arctic air down from Canada, this storm is predicted to form over Texas beginning Tuesday night through Thursday. Areas of snow, sleet, freezing rain and rain will join.
- “Exactly how quickly the storm comes together, tracks and gains strength will determine the magnitude of the snow and ice that extends from the I-20 and I-40 corridors from Texas and Oklahoma to Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, the Carolinas, and Virginia from late this week to this weekend,” AccuWeather’s Monday afternoon update says.
- This week’s snowstorm “could deliver more than a year’s worth of snow to Dallas,” AccuWeather reports. The city’s historical average annual snowfall is 1.6 inches, including sleet, the forecaster says.
- Between 9 p.m. Wednesday and 7 a.m. Friday, Dallas has a 54% chance of seeing three to six inches of snow and a 42% chance of seeing one to three inches, according to AccuWeather’s predictions.
- Due to the unusually low temperatures in Texas this week, ice poses additional dangers in this storm. Conditions will be especially precarious in northeastern portions of the state Wednesday night and Thursday. Travel will be hazardous, and the additional weight on trees and powerlines could result in power outages.

Important Takeaways:
- Biggest storm of winter to bury part of Sierra Nevada with over 100 inches of snow
- A blizzard lasting days will blast the Sierra Nevada and Siskiyous with tremendous snow into this weekend with the likelihood of travel shutdowns and life-threatening conditions.
- A massive storm will unload a general 6-10 feet of snow and bring high winds in the Sierra Nevada through this weekend. The storm will not only close the major roads in the passes but may bury and isolate communities for an extended period, AccuWeather meteorologists warn.
- “The snow will fall at the rate of 4 inches per hour at times, while 60- to 75-mph winds will create a dangerous blizzard with mountainous snowdrifts,”
- The combination of heavy snow and high winds is likely to lead to power outages that could take many days, if not weeks, to resolve in isolated areas. Those in backwoods locations will need a safe means of heat and plenty of food. Experts warn that chimneys and exhaust from furnaces will need to be kept open to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.
