Inside The All-Night Magic Of Groundhog Day

Hopefully your travel before Christmas was holly and jolly, but for people planning their return journey, here's where there could be a few trouble spots.

Sunday

Sunday's weather will be dominated by a cold front, which could lead to significant travel headaches in parts of the East and South. This is associated with the next winter storm, named Winter Storm Ezra, which will impact the Midwest, Great Lakes and Northeast on the heels of Winter Storm Devin.

Northeast: While precipitation in parts of the Northeast could begin as either freezing rain, sleet or snow, current forecast models suggest the dominant precipitation late Sunday may be rain for most, except for northern New England. There may also be strong winds both ahead of the front in the warm air, then behind the front in the colder air. If this forecast holds, expect significant flight delays at the Northeast hubs.

Midwest: Strong, cold northwest winds will blast through the upper Mississippi Valley, Great Lakes and Midwest, which could make driving tricky, especially on east-west roads. Heavy lake-effect snow is possible in the snowbelts from far northern Wisconsin into Upper Michigan and western Lower Michigan. Expect dangerous travel with local whiteout conditions in these areas.

South: Rain and storms, possibly severe, are expected ahead of the cold front from the Great Lakes to the northern Gulf Coast. A few severe storms could produce gusty winds and brief heavy rain in places like Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Memphis, Nashville, St. Louis and Little Rock.

Potential weather-related flight delays: Philadelphia, New York City, Washington, D.C., Chicago, Indianapolis, Minneapolis, St. Louis

We hope you have a wonderful and safe holiday season.
