Meteorologists predict rain and snow fronts ahead of Thanksgiving week


Multiple weather fronts are expected to bring rain and snow to various regions in the United States ahead of Thanksgiving week, causing disruptions for travelers. On Sunday, over 25 million people were under National Weather Service watches and warnings for winter storm activity, including strong winds, flooding, and freezing conditions. Severe weather was predicted for parts of West Texas, with the potential for thunderstorms and tornadoes.

A long-duration atmospheric river was forecasted to bring heavy rain and snow to the Pacific Northwest, leading to flooding and snow accumulation. Following this, waves of low pressure were expected to bring colder air and more precipitation to the Midwest, Southeast, and Northeast regions. An upper-level low pressure system was projected to develop above the Great Lakes and Northeast, resulting in colder temperatures and the possibility of accumulating snow in the central Appalachians and interior Northeast.

Looking ahead to Thanksgiving week, federal forecasters anticipate cooler temperatures, cold rain, and snow in the East Coast. The U.S. Climate Prediction Center suggested above-average rainfall for California, the Pacific Northwest, and select Great Lakes states during the holiday week. Despite the weather outlook, an increase in holiday travel and shopping is expected, with record numbers of passengers and shoppers predicted.

While it is uncertain how the weather systems will impact travel and spending plans, airlines and retailers are preparing for a busy holiday week. Overall, a mix of rain and snow is expected in various parts of the country, potentially affecting travel and holiday activities.
