Snow squalls, blizzard conditions lead to treacherous travel as winter storm slams Great Lakes, Northeast
Snow is winding down across the Northeast on Friday after a powerful winter storm finishes its race across the U.S., bringing life-threatening snow squalls and blizzard conditions to regions slammed by the first significant lake-effect snowstorm of the season.
The FOX Forecast Center said a gradual warm-up is expected to limit snow chances over the weekend. However, a fast-moving clipper will swing across New England late Saturday into Sunday, causing some disruptions to travel along with a quick burst of snow.
Due to the fast-moving nature of the snow, totals are likely to only amount to around 3-5 inches of additional snow. This clipper is expected to move out by late Sunday into the Atlantic.

Flood threat increasing as tropical showers soak Texas, Gulf Coast for days
A weekslong stretch of dry weather across Texas and the northern Gulf Coast is coming to an end this week as the region faces the threat of rounds of torrential rain and thunderstorms over the next several days.
The FOX Forecast Center said a weak area of low pressure is expected to develop close to the coast, and that will help funnel a surge of moisture in from the southern Gulf of Mexico.
This graphic shows the forecast rain totals in the South.
