Thanksgiving is one of the most-traveled holidays of the year. Tens of millions will be taking to the roads and airways before and after the holiday too, and AccuWeather meteorologists say travel will be feast or famine, depending where one’s travels take them.
A new travel record is expected for Thanksgiving 2024. According to AAA, 79.9 million people are expected to travel throughout Thanksgiving week. This includes both air travelers and those taking a trip by car. This is up 1.7 million people from Thanksgiving week of last year.
The storm-weary West will continue to deal with rain and snow. While a repeat of last week’s bomb cyclone is not expected, more precipitation is on the way. In addition, rain and snow will be farther to the south than last week’s event. Rain will soak Central California, largely centered on Tuesday. As the moisture encounters colder air in the mountains, several feet of snow is expected to accumulate.
