Severe Winter Weather Hits Northeast and Southern Plains - 01-22 to 01-24
Updated Thu Jan 22nd 2026, 2:59am PST

Get ready for a wintry mix as snow squalls threaten the interior Northeast and Northern New England with hazardous travel conditions through Friday, while dangerously cold Arctic air spreads over the Great Plains and Eastern U.S. A major winter storm is set to bring crippling ice and sleet to the Southern Plains and Lower Mississippi Valley on Friday, with potential power outages and extreme cold warnings. Take precautions to stay safe and warm.

Snow Trouble in the Northeast

Through Friday, residents in the interior Northeast and Northern New England should prepare for scattered snow squalls. These intense brief bursts of snow and wind can drastically reduce visibility, making travel dangerous. If you must be on the road, stay alert and drive cautiously.

Arctic Blast Warning

Throughout the weekend, dangerously cold Arctic air will chill the Northern Plains and spread to the Eastern U.S. Feel-like temperatures or 'wind chills' could drop below -50°F in parts of the Northern Plains. Residents should prioritize staying indoors, ensuring all family members, including pets, are warm.

Major Winter Storm Alert

On Friday, a significant winter storm is predicted to hit the Southern Plains and Lower Mississippi Valley, moving towards the Mid-South. Expect heavy snow, sleet, and freezing rain. Areas south of the snow line will see ice accumulation, leading to potential power outages and difficult travel. Plan ahead and stay informed to minimize risks.
