Fire Weather

An early spring storm system is letting lose punishing winds, heavy snowfall and tornadoes across parts of the northern Plains.

New tremors at Alaska's Mount Redoubt are prompting speculation that the volcano could be in a phase that will lead to more instability.

A blizzard has shut down hundreds of miles of interstate across Wyoming and into the Plains states, and forecasters say the storm could bring as much as 40 inches of snow to at least one mountainous area.

National Weather Service experts say a fine gray dust is going to be hanging in the air around Anchorage, Alaska, "for quite some time."

Officials in Fargo, N.D. say they hope to fill nearly 2 million sandbags by the end of the week to hold off the threat of flooding from the Red River.
