About 500 million people are expected to travel this week despite health warnings, the AAA said. Other modes of travel, such as air, train and bus, will come down easily from last year, AAAA said.
Regardless of the mode of transport, any trip away from your home this year is risky.
For those who care about health warnings and plan a virtual or outdoor celebration, the next question is, will Mother Nature cooperate with your holiday plans?
Walking on weekends
On Sunday morning, the main focus will be the fountain line from Detroit to Little Rock, Arkansas. Rainfall is a major concern south of Toledo, Ohio. To the north of that point, there will be a rain / snow mix.
By Sunday afternoon, the fountains turned east with the main focus between Syracuse, New York and Nashville.
On Sunday evening, the shower will affect areas from Burlington, Vermont to Atlanta.
On Monday, the main focus of the fountains will be on Carabu, Maine, Raleigh, North Carolina.
The good news is, overall rain and snow accumulation is expected to be on the downside. During Monday, rain should be an inch or less in most places.
The accumulation of snowfall will be primarily an inch or less as it will merge with the rain in many places. Elevated heights of green and white mountain as well as 2-4 inches of northern Maine can get a little more snow wherever possible.
Floridians would also like to keep an eye on a little rain, mainly in the eastern part of the state. Heavy rain is expected Sunday in Jacksonville, Rio de Janeiro and Miami before drying up for the rest of next week.
Eastern U.S. Not the only area that will be dealing with the weekend atmosphere as we end the weekend.
The Central Rockies and South Plains areas, including Salt Lake City, will also see a chance of rain after Monday to Sunday.
The next hurricane goes inside
By Tuesday and Wednesday the system, which was in the Pacific Northwest over the weekend, will move to the Central Plains and the Midwest.
But the Pacific Northwest will again turn its attention to the new weather, as numerous disturbances spread across the region during the holiday season early next week.
November is always the darkest time of the year in the Northwest, and this week this smoke will live up to expectations. Rain is expected in Seattle and Portland, both in Reagan, from Sunday to Wednesday.
Denver will also see some rain on Tuesday, but it will be mostly in the form of snow. Temperatures on Tuesday will see a sharp drop from a low of 60 on Monday to a high of more than 40 in the middle.
For the southern plains, not only rain but hurricanes are forecast in Oklahoma City, Dallas and Wichita, Kansas on Tuesday.
By Wednesday the same system will be centered down the Great Lakes to the Gulf Coast. Probably the biggest impact will be on cities like Cleveland, Chicago, Atlanta, Memphis, Tennessee and Little Rock, Arkansas. Heavy rain will be from Indianapolis to Little Rock, where 1-3- 1-3 inches is possible. Interstate 65, 70 and 75 will often experience heavy rainfall.
Messi’s Thanksgiving Day Parade
For those taking part in the parade locally, temperatures are forecast to hover around ૦ degrees Celsius in the early morning hours, with temperatures forecast to be in the mid-0’s. It also has a chance for scattered showers in the morning, but winds are expected to be light between 5 and 10 miles per hour.
Will Mother Nature cooperate in your outdoor Thanksgiving?
The CDC said small outdoor gatherings are allowed, but will the weather cooperate? In many areas, the answer is yes.
The Upper Midwest and the desert southwest will be the two most promising destinations for dry weather.
Minneapolis, Kansas City and Green Bay, Wisconsin, will all offer a light, dry Thanksgiving. Cloudy weather will also begin in Chicago, with temperatures remaining very sunny until noon.
That’s a different story from Maine to Florida, where rain is forecast on Thursday. But it will not be a complete washout and the temperature will be about 5-15 degrees above normal.
In those cities, along with western destinations like Denver and Cheyenne, Wyoming, which is also prone to snow on Thursdays, it would be best to watch Messi’s Thanksgiving Day Parade from the comfort of your warm bed.
