The FOX Forecast Center is monitoring travel conditions ahead of Christmas, tracking a series of storms as travelers start to hit the roads and take to the air.
Millions of people across the U.S. are preparing to travel ahead of the busy Christmas holiday, but there could be some delays on the roads and at major airports that could impact when you can gather with family and friends.
First, a weak disturbance will track across the Plains and Upper Midwest on Tuesday. This disturbance will produce some snow across communities from South Dakota to Michigan before a more potent clipper system moves in on Thursday.

Impacts from this system will be limited, but the FOX Forecast Center will be monitoring moderate snow which could break out Tuesday afternoon in South Dakota and Minnesota.
The snow will then reach Wisconsin by Tuesday night.
