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.
