    A deep cyclone with intense movement is moving across the northern United States during the Thanksgiving holiday.

    An intense storm system passing over the northern United States is
    expected to drop heavy snow across the Great Lakes and Northern Plains
    regions in the coming days, including over the Thanksgiving holiday,
    likely causing traffic and flight delays or cancellations.

    Blizzard warnings have been issued for northern Wisconsin and MichiganΓÇÖs Upper Peninsula, according to a map posted by the National Weather
    Service (NWS).

    Winter storm warnings are in effect for Minnesota, northern Wisconsin,
    and other parts of Michigan as of Nov. 26. Winter storm advisories have
    been issued for other areas in Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota,
    Pennsylvania, and New York state.

    The NWS said the initial system moving across the Great Lakes is a deep
    cyclone and described it as fairly intense. The weather service said it
    will bring blizzard conditions to the region on Nov. 26, namely along the southern shore of Lake Superior.

    ΓÇ£A fairly intense cyclone supported by a digging upper-level trough is bringing the first significant snowfall of the season across the northern tierstates culminated with blizzard conditions as cold air rushes in behind
    the deep storm,ΓÇ¥ the weather service said.

    The south shore of Lake Superior should ΓÇ£expect to receive well over a
    foot of snow, along with blizzard conditions at the height of this storm
    during theday today,ΓÇ¥ it said.

    ΓÇ£For the remainder of the Great Lakes, rain will gradually change over to
    all snow by Thanksgiving morning along with windy conditions. More lake
    effect snow bands can be expected to impact the Snow Belt downwind from
    the Great Lakes on the back side of the departing but expanding cyclone
    into Friday especially the lower Great Lakes. Meanwhile, the snow across
    the upper Great Lakes will show signs of tapering off by Friday morning.ΓÇ¥

    More broadly, the NWS said on the front page of its website that travel conditions will be an issue for the Northern Plains, Great Lakes, and
    East Coast through the holiday weekend.

    Aside from the Midwest and East Coast, the NWS issued winter weather
    advisories for parts of northern Idaho and western Montana on Wednesday.

    The intense weather conditions come as nearly 82 million are expected to
    travel 50 miles or more from home for the Thanksgiving holiday, the
    American Automobile Association (AAA) said in a report earlier this
    month.

    AAA said the figure represents an increase of around 1.6 million from Thanksgiving 2024.

    AAA also projected that 1.3 million more travelers will be on the roads
    than last year, pushing the total number of people traveling by vehicle
    to at least 73 million.

    Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said during a Nov. 24 news conference
    that air traffic controller staffing levels have stabilized in time for
    what he says will be the busiest Thanksgiving on record for travel, while
    the head of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reassured
    passengers that they can ΓÇ£fly with confidenceΓÇ¥ this week.

    By the morning of Nov. 26, more than 1,000 flights were delayed across
    the United States with only a few dozen cancellations, according to
    flight tracking website FlightAware.
