Today’s Daily Weather Update highlights significant weather developments as Thanksgiving approaches. With millions of travelers preparing to hit the roads, forecasters warn that travel disruptions are anticipated, particularly in the Northeast.
As families start their journeys, the FOX Forecast Center is keeping a close eye on weather patterns that could impact travel throughout the week. A major storm is currently affecting the West Coast, bringing heavy rain and snow to regions along the Interstate 5 corridor stretching from California to Washington. Additionally, a fast-moving system is expected to bring winter conditions to the Upper Midwest. However, the most concerning forecast involves a winter storm predicted to slow down travel in the Northeast right after Thanksgiving.
In the UK, Storm Bert wreaked havoc over the weekend, resulting in significant travel delays and tragically leading to at least four fatalities. This storm brought powerful winds, flooding, and winter weather, prompting over 200 flood warnings in England and Wales at its peak.
Meanwhile, Paris is experiencing an unusual early winter, with the city blanketed in its most significant November snowfall in over 55 years. Approximately 1.5 inches of snow fell, transforming iconic landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame into a picturesque winter scene, reminiscent of the last significant snowfall in 1968.
