A storm has brought travel disruptions to US airports as millions of Americans embark on Thanksgiving journeys. FlightAware.com reports that over 4,800 flights within, to, and from the US faced delays, with nearly 70 cancellations by Tuesday night. Adverse weather conditions, including rain and strong winds, affected major airports in Chicago, Atlanta, Washington DC, Philadelphia, New York City, and Charlotte, North Carolina. US airlines anticipate nearly 30 million travelers during this Thanksgiving week. The National Weather Service warns of widespread rain in the eastern US impacting holiday travel into Wednesday. While the gusty weather is expected to clear by Thanksgiving Day, some snowfall is predicted for parts of northern New England and regions in Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho. Overall, the week’s weather is anticipated to be relatively calm, with temperatures remaining within seasonal norms. The American Automobile Association (AAA) estimates that almost 50 million people will drive 50 miles or more for Thanksgiving, marking the third-highest travel numbers since 2000. Tuesday, Wednesday, and the Sunday after Thanksgiving are anticipated to be the busiest travel days. US Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg assured that additional air traffic controllers were hired, and new air routes were established along the US east coast to mitigate potential delays.
