A winter storm was spreading heavy snow into the Interstate-95 mid-Atlantic Saturday evening, while areas of heavy snow and drenching rain continued west of the Appalachians.
The worst of the snow and ice will target the Northeast and parts of the Rockies Saturday night.
"The snow will spread into New England Saturday evening while the storm transitions to ice and rain in the coastal mid-Atlantic area," AccuWeather.com Meteorologist Alex Sosnowski said.
Travel reaching from St. Louis to Pittsburgh could be treacherous through Sunday morning as roads become slick. Multiple vehicle crashes and slide offs were reported across portions of Indiana, Mississippi, Tennessee and Alabama into Saturday morning.
