Thanksgiving week storm live tracker: Radar, flight delays and travel cancellations and forecasts

Powerful holiday lake-effect snowstorm shatters records, causes dangerous travel conditions

The biggest lake-effect snow event of the season is breaking records, delivering feet of snow to the Great Lakes Snowbelt and continuing to snarl holiday travelers driving and flying home from Thanksgiving on Friday, before the lake enhancement finally winds down. The threat of rapidly changing, whiteout road conditions remains for parts of Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and western New York through Friday night.

A large winter storm that could bring some of the biggest snow of the season to the Central U.S. and Rockies is likely to significantly impact travel plans for millions of people returning home from their Thanksgiving holiday. 

Meanwhile, another winter storm is causing Blizzard Warnings to be issued across the Upper Midwest, delivering what will be a back-to-back punch of winter weather come Friday. 

As of Wednesday morning, more than 1,100 flights across the U.S. were delayed or disrupted in some way by this winter storm, according to FlightAware.
