A heavy snow warning affecting Colorado, Wyoming and Montana has been issued as a powerful late-season storm brings unusually harsh winter conditions across the western United States, with the latest weather forecast today showing up to two feet (0.61 meters) of snow and wind gusts reaching 45 mph (72.4 km/h) in mountain areas, creating dangerous travel conditions and near whiteout visibility. Forecasters say the timing is especially disruptive, as spring weather is quickly being replaced by intense snowfall and strong winds, raising concerns over road closures, travel delays, and increased avalanche risk across the Rockies.
