Clayton, NC Traffic and Road Conditions

Commuters and travelers on the Interstate 80 and US Route 395 through the Sierra Nevada should anticipate heavy snow through Thursday. Snowfall could exceed 8 inches, especially in the southern Cascades and southern Oregon coastal ranges. The situation is similar on Interstate 84 across the Pacific Northwest, where significant snowfall could make travel difficult. By late Thursday, expect conditions to improve as the weather pattern shifts. Snow and icy conditions are expected to impact drivers on Interstate 94 and Interstate 90 across the northern and central Plains into the Great Lakes on Wednesday. By Thursday, the wintry mix will spread eastward, potentially affecting travel on Interstate 75 and Interstate 80 across the Ohio Valley into New England. Plan for possible delays and hazardous conditions as snow turns to rain in some areas. Travelers through the central and southern Plains, particularly along Interstate 70 and Interstate 35, should be aware of gusty winds and unusually warm temperatures on Wednesday. These conditions will persist, contributing to a high risk of wildfires. Exercise caution when driving, as visibility may be reduced due to blowing dust. Drivers should remain alert on Interstate 64 and Interstate 65 in the lower and middle Ohio Valley on Thursday. Severe thunderstorms, with the potential for damaging winds and tornadoes, are expected. This could cause significant disruptions, so plan for possible delays and road closures. While the western U.S., including California and the Pacific Northwest, experience temperatures in the 30s to 50s, the central and eastern U.S. will enjoy warmer than average conditions. Temperatures in the Midwest could reach the 70s, which is 30 to 40 degrees above normal. Stay informed and travel safely!
