Overview
- Light, fast-moving snow is impacting commutes from the Great Lakes to New England, with typical 1–3 inch totals and localized slick spots and reduced visibility reported in cities including Chicago, Detroit, Cincinnati, Syracuse and across interior New England.
- Central Florida is under a freeze alert early Friday, with the National Weather Service expecting lows near 27°F in the Walt Disney World area and advising protections for plants and plumbing; Typhoon Lagoon is closed for the day.
- Weekend snow remains spotty and variable: New Hampshire and Maine expect around 1–3 inches Saturday, southeast Wisconsin and parts of Ohio and Pennsylvania see intermittent snow showers, and lake-effect belts continue with lighter bursts.
- A coastal low late Sunday into Monday could brush parts of the I‑95 corridor with light snow, though current forecasts favor higher chances from southern Maryland and the Eastern Shore to portions of Southeast Massachusetts, with totals dependent on the track.
- Temperatures tumble further early next week behind reinforcing Arctic fronts, with some Great Lakes and Ohio Valley highs in the single digits, sub-zero lows and wind chills that could drop to 20 below zero in the coldest spots.
