Thanksgiving Week Travelers Could Run Into Headaches Due to Projected Storms Across Country
As Thanksgiving approaches, millions of traveling Americans may face a headwind that could disrupt their plans. According to The Washington Post, a storm with heavy rain is expected to hit several regions, including the Deep South, Tennessee Valley, Midwest, Southeast, and East Coast next week.
The storm is predicted to start on Sunday and continue until Wednesday, causing unsettled weather conditions. The National Weather Service warns of potential snow in the central/northern Rockies and advises travelers to check local forecasts.

The storm may bring relief to Louisiana and Mississippi, which are currently experiencing droughts. However, it is likely to cause travel disruptions in the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeast regions. AccuWeather warns of flight delays and cancellations for those traveling from the central part of the country to the Northeast. Heavy rain may also slow down traffic on Interstates 80, 81, and 95.
As the weather gets colder, snow showers are expected in southern New York state and New England on Sunday, giving a glimpse of what may come later in the week. Northern Illinois, Wisconsin, and northern Michigan may also see snow, but rain will be the main issue affecting travel early in the week.
In major cities like Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, New York City, and Boston, significant rain is forecasted for Tuesday and Wednesday. Buffalo, New York, which experienced a deadly blizzard last year, is on alert for potential “significant lake effect snow” during Thanksgiving, according to The Buffalo News.

How can travelers stay informed about flight statuses and road conditions during potential delays or cancellations?
And prepare for possible delays or cancellations. Airlines and local transportation authorities will provide updates on flight statuses and road conditions.
In addition to the potential travel disruptions, travelers should also take precautions for their own safety.
