A rush of travelers expected to hit the roads and skies for the Thanksgiving holiday could hit bad weather across much of the United States thanks to a sprawling storm threatening heavy rain, wind, snow and thunderstorms.
About two-thirds of the country could see some kind of inclement weather, according to AccuWeather meteorologists. The storm system is expected to impact much of the central, eastern and southern parts of the country, the outlet reported.
What is starting as rain and mountain snow in parts of California and the Southwest this weekend will shift eastward to the Plains region to start off the holiday week, and reach the Mississippi Valley and eventually the East Coast by midweek, forecasters said.
"The storm will bring downpours, severe weather and snow to different regions as it moves east," AccuWeather said in an advisory.
The weather is promised as nearly 82 million people are expected to travel for the Thanksgiving holiday in the United States, a record high, according to AAA.
