Winter Storms Threaten Thanksgiving Travel Across U.S.

A significant weather change is expected in the eastern U.S. as a storm system brings wet snow, cold temperatures, and strong winds from Thursday into the weekend. This marks a shift from the mild start to fall, with Arctic air moving in and potentially causing snow accumulation in the Great Lakes, Northeast, and Appalachians. The storm will also bring much-needed rain to drought-affected areas, although exact rainfall amounts are uncertain. A warming trend is expected before Thanksgiving, with another Arctic air mass possibly arriving afterward.
