Massive Winter Storm to Disrupt Post-Thanksgiving Travel Now

UPDATE: A massive winter storm is set to wreak havoc on post-Thanksgiving travel for millions of Americans this weekend. The FOX Forecast Center warns that from Friday, November 25, through early Saturday, significant snowfall will blanket the Rockies and Central U.S., severely impacting homeward journeys.

Forecasts predict multi-inch snow accumulations across higher elevations in the Rocky Mountains, with Denver experiencing its first snowfall in over 200 days, expecting 1-3 inches by Monday. Meanwhile, the Midwest is bracing for up to 5-8 inches of snow, affecting major cities including Chicago, Milwaukee, Des Moines, and Madison.

Travelers should prepare for significant disruptions at major airports such as Chicago O’Hare, Chicago Midway, Detroit Metropolitan, and Milwaukee Mitchell International. With millions returning home from Thanksgiving festivities, the storm’s timing is critical, as disruptions could extend into Monday.

As the storm progresses, snow will shift eastward, affecting the Northeast and New England later in the weekend. Localized higher snowfall totals are possible, especially near the Great Lakes region, raising concerns for travelers across the Plains, Midwest, and Great Lakes.

Travelers are urged to check for weather updates and stay informed about potential delays and cancellations. With holiday travel already stressful, this winter storm adds significant urgency to planning ahead.
