Tuesday Storm Threatens Thanksgiving Travel with Heavy Rain and Severe Weather

Rain and wind are forecasted to disrupt Tuesday's commute in the DC region, causing potential travel delays for Thanksgiving. The rain is much-needed for the region, but heavy rainfall rates and gusty winds may cause delays in both road and air travel. While winter weather advisories are in place for elevated areas in the Appalachian Mountains, the storm is expected to quickly exit the region on Wednesday, bringing sunshine but cool and breezy conditions. Thanksgiving Day is forecasted to be cooler than recent years, with temperatures in the middle to upper 50s.
