Corral Traffic and Road Conditions

Get ready for some cold weather, folks. Starting Wednesday night, an icy air mass will move down from Canada. This will affect areas like the I-70 corridor through St. Louis, MO and further east. By Thursday, we'll see gusty winds and possibly damaging storms across the I-65 and I-75 corridors in the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys, especially around Cincinnati, OH. Rain will transition to wet snow in the higher terrains of New England by Friday. The cold front continues to push south Thursday. Expect falling temperatures across the I-40 and I-55 around Memphis, TN, reaching freezing as far south as northern Mississippi. Travelers on US-11 and US-43 should be prepared for cold and dry conditions, with increased fire risk from gusty winds. Steady rain sets in from the northern Mid-Atlantic to southern New England by Thursday, affecting major routes like I-95 through Baltimore, MD and Philadelphia, PA. As the system moves offshore, expect coastal winds and minor flooding risks. Higher elevations could see wet snow, so travelers on US-7 in Vermont should be cautious. Colder air over the Great Lakes will trigger lake-effect snow from Wednesday night. Areas around US-41 and US-2 in Michigan's Upper Peninsula should prepare for snow showers and slippery roads. Unseasonably warm temperatures continue across the West, from Seattle, WA down through I-5 into Northern California. Dry conditions remain, with some record highs possible. While the warm spell persists, rain will target the Washington coast and Olympic Mountains, with heavier rain approaching Northern California by Friday.
