Holiday travel disrupted by storm system causing rain and snow across the country

As Thanksgiving holiday travel gets underway, a storm tracking from the Rockies to the Midwest and Northeast is expected to bring rain and snow, potentially impacting flights and roads. Millions of people are traveling by car and air, making it a busy time for transportation. The storm is forecast to bring rain, ice, and snow across several regions, leading to delays and cancellations for flights and causing slick road conditions. Many major airports are affected, with delays expected in various cities including Denver, Newark, and Tampa. The storm is expected to move eastward, bringing rain and snow from Florida to Maine on Thanksgiving Day, potentially causing power outages and travel disruptions in the interior Northeast and New England. Despite the weather, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade will go on as planned in New York City. As the storm moves out of the New England area on Friday, travel conditions are expected to return to normal. Following Thanksgiving, cold temperatures and lake effect snow are predicted for the northern Plains and upper Midwest. Authorities are also warning travelers about vehicle thefts in airport parking lots, with over 300 cars stolen from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport this year. Police are increasing security measures to prevent further thefts at airports across the country.
