Severe Weather Disrupts Thanksgiving Travel Across U.S.

Despite Thousands of Flight Delays and Cancellations, Busiest Travel Period on Record Expected

Severe weather is causing significant disruptions to Thanksgiving travel, with thousands of flights delayed and some cancelled.
Rain, strong winds, and snow are affecting travel across the South and Northeast, with the storm system expected to move from the Midwest into the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions.
Major airports affected by the weather include Los Angeles International Airport, Chicago O’Hare International Airport, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Charlotte Douglas International Airport, and several in the Washington D.C., Philadelphia and New York City areas.
The weather is expected to clear up by Thanksgiving Day, with mostly sunny conditions predicted for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City.
Despite the disruptions, this Thanksgiving travel period is expected to be the busiest on record, with the Transportation Security Administration expecting 30 million people to travel by air from Nov. 17-28.
