Health officials are warning Thanksgiving travelers of an increase in COVID, flu, and RSV cases in the Bay Area, with expectations of surges during the holiday season. The new variant HV.1 is a concern, particularly for unvaccinated individuals. Masks are recommended at airports, where passenger traffic is expected to reach pre-pandemic levels. Free COVID test kits can be delivered to homes to prepare for the winter surge.
Multiple storm systems are expected to impact Thanksgiving travelers, with one system bringing rain and gusty winds to coastal New England and snow showers to the White and Green Mountains. Another system along the West Coast will stretch from Portland to San Diego, spreading rain into desert cities and causing wind advisories for over 6 million people. The system will then shift eastward, bringing rain and snow to the Mountain West and Central Plains. By Monday, the Gulf Coast could experience tornadoes, hail, and damaging winds. The eastern half of the country, including major airport cities, may face rain and thunderstorms on Tuesday, potentially causing delays and frustrations for travelers.
