Storm Overview
A winter storm could bring heavy rain and multiple inches of snow spanning over 1,000 miles nationwide this weekend.
The system started in the Pacific Northwest Thursday evening, pushing through the Rockies Friday with snow in the northern Rockies and Plains.
Its center should hit the Plains early Saturday, growing stronger toward the Midwest while mixing snow, rain, and ice across the central US.
Travel Impacts
More than 900 flights into and out of Chicago's O'Hare were canceled, with 700 delayed.
Chicago might see 8+ inches from Saturday to Sunday morning—its snowiest two-day stretch since January 2021—hitting air travel at O'Hare and Midway hardest, plus road chaos.
Snow targets northern areas like Nebraska, Kansas, and the Midwest; rain hits the south flank, with ice possible in between and rising winds.
Path and Aftermath
Sunday brings the storm east of the Mississippi, with snow in the Great Lakes, rain in southern states, and Arctic air blasting the midsection.
