Thanksgiving travel snarled by coast-to-coast storm bringing rain and snow
With Thanksgiving holiday travel well underway, many have reached their destinations — but for everyone else, a storm tracking from the Rockies to the Midwest and Northeast into Thursday will bring rain and snow, likely impacting flights and packed roads.
With Thanksgiving holiday travel well underway, many have reached their destinations — but for everyone else, a storm tracking from the Rockies to the Midwest and Northeast into Thursday will bring rain and snow, likely impacting flights and packed roads.
Just shy of 3 million people were expected to be screened by the Transportation Security Administration on Wednesday, and a record 71.7 million were expected travel by car over Thanksgiving — over 1 million more than last year.
The storm, which dropped snow over the Rockies Wednesday morning and slowed by the afternoon, is forecast to race east throughout Wednesday to the Midwest and Northeast through Thanksgiving.
It'll bring rain, with the possibility of ice and snow, that will intensify in the evening from St. Louis to Indianapolis and into Pittsburgh.
Overnight, the storm will continue to move eastward, bringing cold rain along the I-95 corridor, from Richmond to Boston, in the early hours of Thanksgiving morning.
