Post-Thanksgiving Cross-Country Winter Storm Could Wreck Travel as It Brings the Most Widespread Snow of the Season

The storm will produce the season's most widespread accumulating snow over 1,000 miles and a blast of Arctic cold that may disrupt post-holiday travel and cause flash flooding in the South.

  • A cross-country storm will first hit the Pacific Northwest on Thanksgiving night, then spread heavy rain and snow across more than 1,000 miles this weekend, threatening holiday travelers in the United States.
  • As the system deepens, Arctic air will plunge into the Rockies and Plains Saturday, merging with the storm and causing snow north of the rain/snow divide.
  • Starting Friday, November 28, forecasts show a 50% chance of more than 152 mm of snow in the Upper Midwest through Sunday, November 30, with lake-effect warnings for up to 20 inches and 50 mph gusts.
  • Hundreds of crashes and road closures have occurred along I-94 and I-29, while flash-flood risk grows in eastern Texas, including Houston, southeastern Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana starting Saturday.
  • Looking beyond the weekend, forecasters note this could be meteorological fall's most widespread snow opportunity, but GFS and ECMWF forecast models differ on amounts, with subzero lows possible Monday, December 1.
