    A great reminder to follow for weather forecasts as you travel this season. Also, remember to include emergency items when packing and plan for possible delays!

    Heavy snow is possible across the Plains, Midwest and Great Lakes regions following Christmas: https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/#page=wwx
    Post-Christmas travel may be affected by a winter storm with heavy snow & hazardous road conditions. People with travel plans from the Plains to the Great Lakes after Christmas should monitor the forecast & consider changing travel plans if necessary:
