A powerful storm is expected to impact travel across the United States this week, potentially disrupting Thanksgiving travel plans, according to AccuWeather meteorologists. Here is a breakdown of the forecasted weather conditions in different regions:
Western US: Central California experienced significant rainfall on Tuesday, accompanied by several feet of snow in the mountains. As the storm progresses eastward, Utah and the Colorado Rockies are expected to be affected by snow. Denver is anticipating 1 to 3 inches of snow on Wednesday.
Central US: While travel in the Central US started smoothly, conditions may worsen by Wednesday as the storm reaches the Plains, potentially bringing snow to Kansas. Cold air will move in for Thanksgiving, with precipitation mainly affecting the southern and eastern regions.
