A significant snowstorm is set to sweep across parts of the U.S. this week, with the Pacific Northwest (PNW) under a winter storm warning and the northern Plains expecting substantial snowfall
Weather experts predict heavy snow, gusty winds, and icy conditions, making travel challenging for many during the Thanksgiving travel rush.
In the PNW, areas in higher elevations, including the Cascades, are bracing for several inches of snow, while lower regions could face mixed precipitation and freezing rain.
Meanwhile, the northern Plains, including parts of North Dakota, South Dakota, and Minnesota, are likely to see heavy snow accumulations, potentially up to a foot in some locations.
These conditions could lead to dangerous roadways and delays for air travelers, with airports and highways across affected areas preparing for disruptions.
Travelers are advised to stay updated on weather alerts, carry emergency supplies, and allow extra time for travel.
With millions on the move for the holiday, this winter storm could pose serious challenges for those in its path.
