The state highway travel map is showing no major areas of bad conditions Friday morning, but the map should change later as the snow starts moving into the state from the west. The high temperature is expected to reach 24 on Friday in Madison, but highs will drop on Saturday as arctic air moves in behind the snowstorm. Highs are only expected to reach 19 on Saturday and 14 on Sunday, with overnight lows down to the low single digits both nights, and wind chills in the below zero range. Sunday should be a sunny day, but clouds move in again on Monday, with chances for light snow later in the day. The high should top out at 20. Snow could continue Tuesday with a high of 31, then sun comes back on Wednesday with a high of 21. Another batch of snow is in the forecast on Thursday and next Friday, with highs in the low 20s.

Roughly 115 million people are under some form of a winter storm watch, warning or advisory across the United States. More maps and compare forecast models Travel through Sunday has already been affected, with nearly 2,000 flights involving domestic airports having been canceled, according to the flight-tracking site FlightAware.com. Airlines are issuing waivers for travelers in the Midwest and Northeast. Eppley Airfield in Omaha, Nebraska, closed for several hours Friday after a Southwest Airlines flight went off a runway while taxiing. The plane slid onto a runway overrun area, Southwest said. Eddie Corcoran No one on board the Southwest Airlines flight was injured. None of the 150 passengers and six crew members was injured, it said. The second storm is associated with the same upper-level energy as the West Coast storm currently dumping inches of rain in cities such as Los Angeles and causing blizzard conditions in the Sierra Nevada. Snow is likely in places like Kansas City, St. Louis and Chicago The second storm exits the Rockies and will begin to drop snow late Friday across Kansas. In Missouri, Kansas City and St. Louis – which received the brunt of last week’s storm – will see less accumulation with this system. However, winds could gust up to 35 mph, causing blowing and drifting snow through Saturday night. Lake effect snow will help enhance the amounts that Milwaukee and Chicago could see through the weekend. Both could see over half a foot of snow if the conditions remain right. Indiana and Ohio could see rain to the south, inches of snow to the north and ice and snow across the central portions of the states. Significant icing event is possible along I-95 corridor through New England The second storm will be more significant for the Northeast than the first. As the low tracks farther east, warm air is likely to mix in from the South. At this time, it’s uncertain exactly where the line between rain and snow will form. CNN Weather More maps and compare forecast models >> The latest model forecast indicates places such as Boston and New York will see snow starting Saturday evening, which will then turn into more of a wintry mix and freezing rain overnight into Sunday. New York is likely to warm up enough to see rain Sunday morning. But even if some precipitation doesn’t freeze on contact Sunday, it will freeze by Sunday evening when the temperatures plummet. The National Weather Service in New York is forecasting 3 to 6 inches of sleet and snow plus possible ice. New York may warm up enough for rain Sunday morning, but freezing is expected by the evening when temperatures plummet. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said a ban on tractor-trailers and buses on most highways in the state will begin Saturday at 3 p.m. ET. Boston could get more than 6 inches of snow, with much more to the north and ice to the south. Similar to the November storm, there is a steep gradient between rain, ice and snow. Meaning close to the coast people could see rain, a few miles inland freezing rain mix, a few more miles inland snow mix and then a few more miles away the snow starts piling up quickly. Winter storm watches are already posted for upstate and inland New England. Heavy snow and sleet will pile up 6 to 12 inches deep (likely more) with some icing for added misery. The I-95 corridor through New England seems to be where the bulk of the ice will set up, with up to an inch of freezing rain possible in Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts. New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy declared a state of emergency beginning at noon Saturday. He told residents to stay off the roads and prepare for possible power outages. A flash freeze is likely behind the storm Behind this second storm, a deep chill will grip much of the eastern half of the United States. It may warm up enough to see rain across the Midwest and Northeast on Sunday but will quickly dip below freezing. That could happen so fast it would instantly freeze any remaining moisture on the ground or surrounding objects. Highs on Sunday in the Kansas City area – where the Chiefs will host the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship game – will be in the twenties. The extreme cold follows the storm and moves into the rest of the Eastern United States on Monday. “For the most part, this winter the jet stream has traveled horizontally across the US. Sure, there have been some ups and downs, but nothing like what is to come,” CNN’s Myers said. “By next week the jet stream will flow from Fairbanks (Alaska) to Texas. So, for example, the following Saturday Anchorage will be 32 and Chicago will be 13.” This arctic air will spill out across the country later next week as far south as Florida, leaving most of the continental United States with below-average temperatures. CNN’s Steve Almasy, Rob Frehse, Joe Sutton and Monica Garrett contributed to this report.<doc-sep>
Southeast Michigan residents will see up to 5 inches of snow followed by bitterly cold temperatures as a winter storm moves through the region this weekend. According to the National Weather Service in White Lake, 3-5 inches will fall starting Friday into Saturday. Communities closer to the Ohio state line are expected to see nearly an inch more. It will be the first snowstorm this year. "We'll finally get a chance for accumulating snow this year," said Sara Pampreen, meteorologist with the National Weather Service. Michigan State Police tweeted Thursday morning, advising residents to be prepared for snow. Coldest air of season expected to hit Michigan this weekend "Now is a good time to check out your winter preparedness kit in your car. We all saw what a little freezing drizzle did to drivers yesterday," read the tweet from MSP Metro Detroit verified account. NWS Meteorologist Dave Kook said the snowstorm is traveling north from the Ohio Valley. Kook said in addition to snow, the weekend will be accompanied by the coldest temperatures reported in 2019. Temps will be in the teens, around 15 to 17 degrees, with a low of zero on Sunday. The coldest high temperature reported this year was 28 degrees on Wednesday and on Jan.10. Kook said roads will be slick and advised drivers to be cautious when traveling. Untreated roads and even roads covered in salt may be difficult to navigate. "The issue with cold temperature is that salt and treatment don't work well when it's colder. It may not be effective," he said. Also at Freep.com: Detroit neighborhood progress?
