No Traffic Flow? Choose Live Map then Zoom in Closer

How to use the Laurel Traffic Map
A static map with traffic flow is shown first and to start using the interactive map you press the blue Load button above to go live.

Traffic flow lines: Red/White dashed lines = Closed Road, Grey/White dashed lines = Road Work, Red lines = Heavy traffic flow, Yellow/Orange lines = Medium flow, and Green = normal traffic. Black lines or no traffic flow lines could indicate a closed road, but in most cases it means that either there is not enough vehicle flow to register or traffic isn't monitored. Also, if you do not see traffic flow, you can zoom in closer to reveal localized data. If you are unable to pan the map, press here (to focus off of the map) and try again.

Traffic Incidents: Each icon represents a traffic event or incident such as road construction, closure (red circle with a white dash), or accident. In some regions there may also be live traffic camaras to view.

In known extreme weather events or accidents, the map may still show green lines, even if lanes or the entire road are closed.

Intense Weather Systems Impact Major Travel Routes - Snow, Rain, and Heat Warnings

Updated Fri Mar 13th 2026, 6:03am PDT

As we step into the weekend, travelers along major routes should brace for intense weather conditions across various regions. The Upper Midwest faces heavy snow and strong winds, potentially causing hazardous travel conditions. Meanwhile, the Pacific Northwest will experience significant rain and snow, and an early heatwave will hit the western U.S. Stay proactive and plan your journeys carefully to avoid any disruptions and ensure safety on the roads.

Upper Midwest and Great Lakes

The Interstate 94 and Interstate 90 corridors are experiencing significant snowfall, ranging from 6 to 12+ inches, along with strong winds. This will create low visibility and blowing snow in areas like Minneapolis, MN and Milwaukee, WI. Travelers should anticipate delays and consider alternate routes or travel times as this system moves towards the Great Lakes.

Northeast and New England

As the system progresses, it will affect Interstate 90 and Interstate 87 with moderate to heavy snow and gusty winds from Buffalo, NY to Boston, MA. Expect significant snow accumulation through Saturday, with additional lake-enhanced snowfall around Lake Ontario. Drive cautiously and prepare for challenging road conditions.

Pacific Northwest and Northern Rockies

The Interstate 5 and Interstate 90 corridors in Seattle, WA and Portland, OR will grapple with heavy rain and high elevation snow due to the active Atmospheric River pattern. Snowfall could reach 2 to 4 feet in the mountains, and flooding is a concern. Ensure vehicles are prepared for wet and slippery conditions.

Northern Plains

A developing winter storm will threaten Interstate 90 and Interstate 94 across the northern High Plains from Wyoming to South Dakota. Expect heavy snow and blizzard conditions as the storm intensifies from Saturday night into Sunday morning. Plan for potential road closures and delays.

Western U.S. Heatwave

Commuters on Interstate 5 and Interstate 10 in cities like Los Angeles, CA and Phoenix, AZ will experience unusual heat with temperatures in the 70s to 90s. Extreme heat could set new records, so ensure vehicles are in top condition and stay hydrated during travel.
