Many regions in Eastern U.S. were overcome by a blizzard for the past fortnight. But now, blizzard watch has focussed on five states across the Plains and Midwest early Monday just before Winter Storm Kayla and predicted that it will usher in heavy snow and high winds all through the area.

A foot of snow will bury various areas in eastern Nebraska; southeast South Dakota; northern, central and western Iowa; southern Minnesota, including Rochester; Denver, Col.; Omaha, Neb.; and Des Moines, Iowa, according to the Weather Channel.

There will be the usual discomforts of snarled traffic, flight delays and delays or cancellations of airports in Denver, Minneapolis and Chicago.

Kayla is quite steely in its resolve and is stalking southern California, where one woman was reported dead while 80,000 homes and businesses were powerless.

Kayla will blow eastward through Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota, before Tuesday, reaching Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan, according to Weather Underground.

Experts feel that it won't really influence the system in Iowa, as it will hit the majority of the state Tuesday. It will impact the southwest corner of the Hawkeye State first.

"The southwest corner of Iowa is most likely where the caucuses will be affected by light snow, but the storm should not impact most places," Weather Channel Lead Meteorologist Kevin Roth told NBC News.
