A winter storm that dumped more than a foot of snow on parts of Arizona and nearly as much on the mountains of Southern California was headed eastward Saturday, forecasters said.
Weather.com reported that conditions were expected to deteriorate Saturday as snow spread from the Rockies into the Front Range and High Plains of Colorado, Wyoming and western Nebraska.
It said accumulating snow and strong, gusty winds would affect Denver, Colo., where 6 to 12 inches of snow were expected, and Cheyenne, Wyo. on Saturday.

Travel conditions ?will be poor? on stretches of I-70, I-80 and I-25, weather.com said.
Blizzard conditions were possible in western Nebraska, southeast Wyoming, northwest Kansas and northeast Colorado, it added.
Snow and some ice was expected from parts of Nebraska to South Dakota and northern/central Minnesota.
Thunderstorms could also hit from southern Minnesota to southern Wisconsin, and southwestward to portions of Texas.
The National Weather Service said there would be ?widespread precipitation? from the Southern Plains and lower Mississippi Valley to the upper Great Lakes region Saturday and Sunday.?
?Heavy downpours and potentially severe thunderstorms will be the main threat across the southern tier of the nation as an organized line of convection fires up along a cold front marching from the southern plains to the lower Mississippi/Tennessee valley,? it said.
?Moderate to heavy snows developing to the north and west of the anchoring surface low are expected to combine with strong and gusty winds to create blizzard conditions over portions of the central high Plains on Saturday,? it added.
Possible snow or freezing rain could also create ?hazardous? conditions in the central Plains and upper Midwest, according to the NWS.
More than 20 inches of snow fell on parts of New England and waves pounded the shoreline as the latest winter storm hit a region already battered several times since October. Weather Channel Meteorologist Eric Fisher reports.
The latest storm comes after New England was hit by up to two feet of snow.
That storm, which moved out to sea Friday afternoon, also brought high winds that battered Nantucket, Martha?s Vineyard, and Long Island, the Weather Channel reported.
A seaside house on Plum Island, about 40 miles north of Boston, was listing at a 45-degree angle after being battered by waves, WHDH reported.
??I?ve owned the house for a long, long time,? homeowner Stephen Bandoian told WHDH in a phone interview from Florida. ?It was a great home, it was a great place, and now it?s gone.?
