• According to The Weather Channel, Americans planning Thanksgiving travel in November could encounter weather-related disruptions influenced by a strong El Niño.
• Warmer-than-usual conditions are expected around the Great Lakes, reducing the likelihood of early snowstorms in the North.

Impact & Risks

Travelers in the Southeast, Gulf Coast, Texas, and California are most likely to face delays due to increased rainfall and thunderstorms. Key airports in these regions, including Atlanta, Miami, and Los Angeles, could see disruptions. While the Great Lakes and Upper Midwest are expected to have below-normal risks, travelers should remain cautious as weather patterns can still shift unexpectedly.
