Air travel is off to a smooth start this long weekend, but that's likely to change — first from snow in the Northeast then in the Deep South thanks to a second winter storm, this one a potential whopper now brewing off the Texas coast.
First, wintry weather could snarl air traffic in the Northeast and New England on Sunday.
The second of a one-two punch to air travel could then come Monday, where airports in the Deep South are already warning another blast of wintry conditions could wreak havoc in parts of the country that seldom see snow.
That includes the possibility of accumulating snow stretching from Texas along the Gulf Coast into northern Florida and — perhaps most ominously for flyers — north across megahubs in Atlanta and Charlotte by Tuesday.

Making matters worse: Travelers at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) had to contend with an outage to its heating system in the terminals, leading to plunging temperatures inside as travelers descended upon the city — itself bracing for bitter cold temperatures — ahead of the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump on Monday.
More winter weather possible next week
While this weekend's winter storm is likely to disrupt air travel Sunday and Monday, parts of the Deep South are already planning for the possibility of a winter storm that could bring travel to a standstill.
