Coast-to-coast storm causing rain and snow creates travel delays on Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving holiday travel has resulted in nearly 3 million people being screened by the TSA and a record 71.7 million traveling by car. A storm tracking from the Rockies to the Midwest and Northeast has brought rain and snow, impacting flights and roads. Flight delays and cancellations have been reported across the U.S., with colder temperatures expected across the country. Ground delays due to air traffic controller shortages have been reported in Newark. Road travelers in various states, including Virginia, Maryland, Illinois, and Colorado, have been impacted by rain and snow. The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is expected to continue despite wet weather conditions in New York City. Security concerns have arisen at airport parking lots, with an increase in vehicle thefts reported at major airports, such as Atlanta and Dallas Fort Worth International. Police have implemented new security measures, including cameras and motorcycle patrols, to address this issue. Travelers are advised to take caution when leaving their vehicles at airport parking lots to ensure the safety of their vehicles.
