If you’re hitting the road for Thanksgiving travel in New England, be prepared for two rounds of wet weather this week, including a possible winter storm on Thursday.
TSA expecting a record-breaking Thanksgiving travel period
Anyone driving north to Vermont, New Hampshire, or Maine on Tuesday should use caution due to mixed precipitation, sleet, and light ice accumulations on the roads.
The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory in those states until 1 p.m. on Tuesday, stating in an alert, “The hazardous conditions could impact the Tuesday morning commute…Slow down and use caution while traveling.”
The main concern on Tuesday in Massachusetts will be rain, with the precipitation peaking around midday. The system will clear out by the evening.
Wednesday is shaping up to be the ideal travel day because a Thanksgiving Day storm is expected to bring another round of rain to the region, as well as the chance for snow in some areas, although the track will ultimately dictate where the snow-rain line forms.
