Subscribe to RSSTraveling could be tricky in certain parts of the U.S., where blizzards and severe storms are expected to last through the evening on Christmas day. The Weather Channel's Paul Goodloe reports.
A major winter storm sweeping through the United States could tangle holiday travel plans in the central United States and even in the South, as could a weaker storm moving through the Northeast.
The Northeast storm will likely bring a "wintry mix" to cities of the I-95 corridor and east to the coast but could still be detrimental to holiday travelers, according to weather.com.
“Despite the ‘more wet than white’ forecast for the I-95 urban corridor, expect major delays at the major Northeast airport hubs Wednesday due to low cloud ceilings and strong winds,” weather.com warned. “These delays may persist into Thursday morning due to low clouds, wind and potential changeover to light snow.”
The Weather Channel added: “Unfortunately, this occurs not only during the Christmas holiday, but also in the peak travel period after Christmas Day in the South, Midwest, and East.”
According to the flightstats.com website, 146 flights had been canceled and 4,089 had been delayed across the U.S. as of 10:50 p.m. ET on Monday. It was not known how many of these problems were due to the weather.
Car travelers will also likely be impacted -- AAA estimates that 93.3 million Americans will travel more than 50 miles for the holidays.
Last week, snow and high winds disrupted thousands of flights from the Midwest through the Northeast.
The stronger storm started in the Western U.S. and dumped six feet of snow in California's Sierra mountains.
Snow is forecast to cover the roads in Salt Lake City on Christmas morning, weather.com reported. Fresh snow is also expected to blanket parts of the adjacent High Plains, including Denver.
As the storm, dubbed "Euclid" by The Weather Channel, moves southeast, it threatens to hinder travel in the South, where it is forecast to bring “severe thunderstorms capable of damaging winds and tornadoes,” according to weather.com. Rain and thunderstorms are also predicted to hit Jacksonville, Charlotte and Orlando on Christmas Day.
Hundreds of flights hit again as winter weather continues
The storm is will rev up over Texas and sweep east into Mississippi. Thunderstorms are expected to develop during the morning hours of Christmas Day, around 3 a.m., lasting until about noon, according to The National Weather Service.
It is forecast to move through the South with 70- to 80-mile-per-hour winds early Wednesday morning, which prompted Mississippi officials encouraged residents to bring in their outdoor Christmas decorations for fear they could become dangerous projectiles.
“We understand that most people will be focusing on the holiday,” Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant said in a statement. “Please plan now for how you will receive a severe weather warning and know where you will go when it is issued.”
“There are enough conditions working together to increase the threat for severe weather on Christmas Day,” the Weather Service said, adding that the main threat exists from the Houston area northward to College Station. “Residents of Southeast Texas are encouraged to monitor forecasts for updates.”
Three to six inches of snow are predicted in northern and western Arkansas later on Christmas Day, according to the Weather Service. One to three inches are forecast elsewhere in the state, although no accumulation is expected near the border with Louisiana.

Where's Al Gore? I'm sure this years record cold weather is part of global warming. What am I thinking about? It's Bush's fault.....
He's doing things rich, intelligent, valued people do... things you'll never get to experience.
And, aside from the fact that only a retard would ask that question, you might want to learn the difference between "weather" and "climate". You'll sound a little less stupid.
Is this God's punishment for Obummer's reelection, like the hurricanes and earthquakes Repugnicans have suggested in this context?

Was anyone shot?? Because apparently that's all MSN can report on anymore. Can we say MSN has it's own agenda and I wonder if it's in any way tied politically to Obama?? Give it a rest already we're humans, not sheep.
From that comment you're more ass hole than human. What does this story have to do with shootings?
it takes a very special kind of idiot to voluntarily keep coming back to a site you hate so much when all you have to do is... are you ready for this?... not come here anymore! Write it down. Learn it. Live it.
Good morning from western NY. The temp is 28 degrees at 7:55 AM. We had a few inches of snow over night( about 4 to be exact). It is a beautiful Christmas morning. In my household, today we are going to forget politics, world affairs, and hatred in general, and enjoy the peace and joy that only family can bring. I hope you all can give it a rest for a short period, and enjoy the spirit of the season.
Peace be with all my brothers and sisters in the world, no matter who you are.
