As the calendar flips to 2025, so too will the script on winter weather across the eastern half of the country.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – As the calendar flips to 2025, so too will the script on winter weather across the eastern half of the country.
It has been a very quiet start to winter from the central Plains through the Ohio Valley, with most areas running well below average in terms of snow, the FOX Forecast Center said. That will change this weekend as a wide-ranging significant winter storm is expected to bring widespread impacts to these areas and more.

The FOX Forecast Center said the storm’s origins are currently in the Pacific Ocean. On Saturday, it will move onshore and through the Northwest, dropping mountain snow.

By Sunday, the storm will shift towards the central U.S., and a clash between cold and warm air will lead to significant winter weather.

The central Plains and lower Ohio Valley will likely see a mix of snow and ice on Sunday. On Sunday night, the rest of the Ohio Valley, mid-South, central Appalachians and possibly the mid-Atlantic will be affected.
The storm is expected to weaken Monday upon crossing the Appalachians, though wintry weather is still likely across the mid-Atlantic and perhaps as far south as the Carolinas, the FOX Forecast Center said.

Details on the exact snow amounts and placement will be determined in the coming days, but at this time, at least “plowable” snow is increasingly likely from the north-central Plains through the Ohio Valley, according to the FOX Forecast Center.

Just south of the snow, an ice storm is possible with hours of freezing rain likely.
Get ready for a wild weather weekend as a massive snowstorm is set to blast through the Midwest and mid-Atlantic regions starting this weekend and continuing into early next week. This powerful storm is expected to bring heavy snowfall, strong winds, and dangerously cold temperatures, creating hazardous conditions for residents in its path.
Meteorologists are predicting that the storm will bring several inches of snow to areas from the Great Lakes to the Mid-Atlantic coast, with some regions potentially seeing over a foot of snow accumulation. The combination of heavy snow and high winds could lead to whiteout conditions and dangerous travel conditions on roadways.
Residents in affected areas are urged to prepare for the storm by stocking up on essentials, checking on vulnerable neighbors, and staying updated on weather forecasts and warnings. Make sure to have a plan in place in case of power outages or other emergencies.
Stay safe and stay warm as this winter storm bears down on the Midwest and mid-Atlantic. Keep an eye on local news and weather reports for the latest updates on this potentially disruptive weather event.
