The FOX Forecast Center is monitoring the potential for winter weather from the Dakotas to the interior Northeast this weekend, which could lead to hazardous travel conditions. FOX Weather Meteorologist Michael Estime breaks down the forecast on Thursday, March 27, 2025.

We may be well into the start of astronomical spring, but Mother Nature is refusing to release its grip on winter as millions of people across the northern tier, from the Dakotas to Maine, brace for the possibility of a winter storm that could lead to disruptive ice this weekend.

The FOX Forecast Center said several rounds of winter weather are increasingly likely from the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes region to the interior Northeast and northern New England starting late Friday night or early Saturday, which could continue until the early part of next week.

While those regions are no strangers to precipitation like snow, it looks likely that icing could evolve in areas where colder air is trapped at the surface while warm air sits higher up in the atmosphere.

“The ice potential is not only for the northern tier, but through northern Michigan is going to exist, especially through the day, not just on Friday, but through the upcoming weekend as well,” FOX Weather Meteorologist Michael Estime said.

Areas at risk of ice could potentially see at least one-tenth of an inch, which would make travel treacherous, especially on bridges, overpasses, on-ramps and off-ramps on major interstates like Interstate 75 in Michigan and Interstate 95 from Boston to Bangor, Maine.
