Coast-to-coast storm causes Thanksgiving travel chaos with rain and snow

As Thanksgiving holiday travel ramps up across the United States, a major storm moving from the Rockies to the Midwest and Northeast is causing flight delays and road difficulties for travelers. The storm is expected to bring rain, ice, and snow, with delays and cancellations reported at various airports. The iconic Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City is expected to go on despite the rainy conditions with balloons able to fly if wind speeds remain below certain thresholds. Cold rain is forecasted along the East Coast, and snowy conditions are expected in the interior Northeast and New England. Bitterly cold temperatures are anticipated in the northern Plains and upper Midwest, affecting Chicago, Detroit, New York, D.C., and Minneapolis. Authorities are warning travelers to be cautious with their vehicles in airport parking lots, as there have been significant thefts reported at busy airports like Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International and Dallas Fort Worth International. Police are implementing measures to increase security in parking areas to prevent further incidents. Overall, the holiday travel season is experiencing a mix of weather challenges and safety concerns for travelers across the country.
