Moisture from the Gulf of Mexico is expected to collide with a cold air mass over Kansas and Nebraska Wednesday, triggering a powerful winter storm that could dump more than a foot of snow over the Central Plains, according to the National Weather Service.

Howling winds and driving snow will bring several hours of blizzard conditions to parts of Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota and Iowa Wednesday night into Thursday, AccuWeather meteorologist Anthony Sagliani said.
