The National Weather Service has likewise cautioned that even folks planning to drive across the country for Thanksgiving should heed warnings. Extremely heavy winds could lead to objects flying and potentially crashing into trees and cars.
After the weekend, inclement weather could still prove to be problematic. In the south, thunderstorms, hail, and heavy winds are likely to land on Monday.
Dodging travel inconveniences during the holidays
Thanksgiving and Christmas are times when people most look forward to going on trips and seeing loved ones they’ve missed for most of the year.
Sadly, travel disruptions now frequently emerge during the holidays. Typically, the weather, airline complications (overbooked flights, staffing shortages), or something else ends up causing problems.
If feasible, travelers should consider departing for their holiday trips before the days leading up to Thanksgiving and Christmas. Leaving even one week before the big day itself can help with dodging inconveniences that have ruined many people’s holidays.
