Cold Weather Hits Holiday Travel
Millions of Americans traveling for Thanksgiving are expected to face harsh winter conditions, including freezing temperatures, snow, and strong winds, from Wednesday into Thursday. Forecasters warn that the widespread storm will stretch across multiple regions of the country, likely disrupting both air and road travel.
Travel Disruptions Expected
Meteorologists report that heavy snowfall may hit parts of the Midwest and the interior Northeast, while high winds could cause flight delays and dangerous driving conditions in several states. Airlines have issued weather advisories, and some travelers have already been encouraged to adjust their plans.
Regional Impacts
- Midwest: Snow accumulation could make highways hazardous, especially in states like Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
- Northeast: Blustery winds and possible freezing rain are forecast for upstate New York and New England.
- West and Plains: Another cold front is moving through with gusty conditions and snow showers in higher elevations.
Forecast and Warnings
Authorities caution that winds could reach speeds strong enough to affect visibility and road safety. The National Weather Service urges travelers to monitor local forecasts and prepare for delays. Overnight temperatures in some areas could drop below freezing, creating icy surfaces and challenging conditions for last-minute Thanksgiving trips.
“This is one of the busiest travel periods of the year, and the combination of wind and wintry weather can make for difficult travel across much of the country,” meteorologists said.
