Rain and snow moving through the Northeast on Thanksgiving Day

[ad_1]
Thanksgiving Day travel in the East will be impacted by winter storms, with rain and snow working across the Northeast causing a dismal start to the holiday. Rough weather is also causing flight delays and cancellations in the middle of the country, threatening holiday travel plans. A large storm could interrupt record holiday travel, with coast-to-coast storms potentially disrupting Thanksgiving travels. Rain, flooding, and snow are affecting parts of the West and Northeast, with storm systems bringing heavy rain and snow to the West Coast and persisting through the weekend. Tens of millions are in the path of storms from coast to coast, including a bomb cyclone and atmospheric river bringing prolonged rain and high winds to the West Coast. The Northeast is facing wildfires prompting new evacuations, while protesters in Spain call for leaders to step down after deadly flooding. Fire risks remain for more than 40 million in the Northeast, and New York City has issued its first drought warning in decades. The FDNY has created a brush fire task force amid historic wildfires in the Northeast. Overall, Thanksgiving Day travel across the country is likely to be impacted by weather disruptions.
