Overview
Winter Storm Blair is forecasted to impact the eastern two-thirds of the U.S. starting Saturday, bringing moderate to heavy snow, particularly in Kansas and Indiana, and dangerously cold Arctic air plunging as far south as Florida. Wind gusts may reach 50 mph, with blizzard conditions possible. Airlines are waiving fees for disrupted travel. The Arctic blast could lead to the coldest January since 2011, with wind chills plunging to -40 degrees in northern regions. The extreme weather is linked to a shifting polar vortex, exacerbating climate change effects.
