More than 48 millions Americans are expected to travel 50 miles or more this Thanksgiving holiday according to AAA. The automotive group says 89 percent of those will be traveling by car, while 3.7 million people will fly to their destination. For those hitting the roads or the skies the day before Thanksgiving, there will be two large storm systems that could cause disruptions, especially in the Great Lakes and Pacific Northwest.
The first major winter storm of the season continues to bring snow and strong winds to the Upper Midwest into Saturday. Blizzard conditions will persist in portions of Minnesota and the Dakotas throughout Friday. Snow totals will likely reach over 12 inches of snow under the system’s heaviest snow bands.

The first signs of the coming winter storm have appeared as snow begins to fall in Wyoming. A significant winter storm will roll through the north-central Plains this Friday. A potent system will swing out from the West by Thursday. This disturbance will spin up a strong low pressure tracking through the northern Plains bringing a large area of snow and wind for the end of the week.
