A record 81.8 million Americans are expected to travel for Thanksgiving this year, presenting both logistical and weather-related challenges. The majority of travelers will be driving, while nearly six million are projected to fly, despite recent travel disruptions. Early weather forecasts indicate a significant storm system is likely to impact the central United States at the start of the holiday week. This system is expected to bring storms to the South on Monday before moving into the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions by Tuesday, potentially disrupting travel plans across a large swath of the country.
