High winds, low visibility, ice and snow are likely to keep planes grounded across the country.
The winter storm that wrecked havoc out west on Thanksgiving Day has since moved east. As of Saturday at 8 a.m. CST, the National Weather Service had issued Winter Storm Warnings and Winter Weather Advisories for every county along the northern band of the Midwest, from western Montana and eastern Michigan, with the system reaching across the Great Lakes into Pennsylvania and New York. Meanwhile, flood and storm warnings extended south all the way to Texas and the Gulf Coast.
Travel interruptions were minimal at Midwestern hubs Saturday morning, with average delays under 15 minutes and only 18 out of over 3,000 flights canceled in the last 24 hours at Chicago O'Hare International Airport, according to the Chicago Department of Aviation. Air traffic was similarly smooth out of Detroit Metro Airport and Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport, but those conditions were expected to change later in the day.
"North of the low, heavy snow is forecast to spread across the Northern/Central Plains and Upper Mississippi Valley today and tonight, ending there on Sunday. A large swath of snow totals from 6 to 12 inches are expected from the Northern Plains into Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Upper Michigan, and locally higher snow amounts above 18 inches are possible," the National Weather Service's Weather Prediction Center reported early Saturday.
Blizzard Warnings are in effect into Sunday morning across a portion of the northern High Plains and the west end of Lake Superior. Interstates 90 and 35 pass through these areas. Travel could be very difficult. Widespread blowing snow could significantly reduce visibility.
