Traveling on New Year’s Eve or New Year’s Day? Lake-effect snow will continue to pile up across the Great Lakes and interior portions of the Northeast, so expect delays and slow downs.

Travelers in the United States during New Year's Eve and New Year's Day may encounter weather-related disruptions, particularly in the Great Lakes and western regions. Rain, sleet, and snow are expected to cause travel backups, with several major airports on the West Coast likely to experience delays.

While the West and Great Lakes will see challenging conditions, areas along the Gulf Coast and cities like Dallas are forecasted to have better weather. Dallas is expected to reach 72°F, while Bismarck will see colder temperatures at 24°F.

Tracking rain, snow, bitter cold for NYE festivities

Well, around America and let me tell you if you were traveling on New Year's Eve or New Year's Day, it's actually very underrated. Really, really easy way to travel. However, weather sometimes give you some wrinkles. I think they'll be plain to found across parts of the Great Lakes and certainly out towards the West where you have the rain, the sleet, the mountains. It's going to be more of the snow and backups that we anticipate on your New Year's Eve around the Great Lakes, but also out towards the West Coast. SFO LAX, I'd say John Wayne could have some problems, maybe Portland and certainly SeaTac and for New Year's Day. All your troubles out towards the West, better conditions along portions of the Gulf Coast, Dallas, beautiful 72 and Bismarck 24.
