Similar to the days prior to Thanksgiving, the worst weather
will focus on the days prior to Christmas as millions of travelers take to the
roads and skies in the United States and southern Canada.
According to AAA, 94.5 million people will travel 50 miles
or more over the holiday season, spanning Dec. 21 to Jan. 1.
Most of the travel troubles will be caused by a single storm
system forecast to affect much of the Central and Eastern states on Saturday
and Sunday.
The storm this weekend will bring a wide variety of weather
ranging from temperature extremes to heavy snow, ice, flooding rain, fog,
severe thunderstorms and the potential for tornadoes. The storm will affect
major airport hubs from Dallas to St. Louis, Chicago, Detroit, Atlanta, New
York City and Boston.
This is a spring storm stuck in a winter pattern that
threatens to combine slippery travel and flight delays with the dangers of
flooding and violent thunderstorms.
