The wider storm

A low pressure system from the Gulf of Alaska descended over the Rocky Mountain region, then moved northeast, emerging over the northern high plains. An arctic air mass from Alberta combined with wamer temperatures from the south to steer plentiful moisture through the area, bringing the first major winter storm of the season to northeast Motana.
