Winter Storm Fern Watch

Winter Storm Fern is shaping up as a high-impact, multi-day event with snow, sleet, and potentially damaging ice stretching from the Southern Plains to the Northeast, with impacts possible from Friday through Monday. Forecast guidance highlights a broad wintry corridor from New Mexico and northern Texas through Oklahoma and into the Ohio Valley and I-95 metros, where heavier snow totals may shift north toward Washington, D.C., Baltimore, and Philadelphia. Farther south, freezing rain risk from parts of Texas into the Carolinas could create hazardous roads, downed trees, and power outages—especially where ice loads build on lines and infrastructure.

For shippers, this is a classic capacity headwind: slowdowns on surface networks, intermittent lane closures, and knock-on effects at major East Coast air hubs with elevated delay and cancellation potential into Sunday and early Monday.
