Snow and Rain Threaten early Christmas travel for millions of Americans
Despite the storms this week, FOX Forecast Center predicts that the Upper Midwest will be spared some significant impacts. Travel to eastern cities could be affected by heavy rain and perhaps some winter weather, which could halt travel during the holidays.
The final full week before Christmas marks the beginning of a series of storms sweeping across the country that could cause delays on the road and in the air.
Forecasters at FOX said the Upper Midwest might escape major impacts from the storms this week. Holiday travel could be hindered by heavy rains and possibly winter weather in the eastern half of the country.
Beginning on Monday, a cold front will stretch from the Great Lakes to the southern Plains, before moving east and losing strength as it reaches the Northeast.

How To Drive In Inclement Weather
According to FOX Forecast Center, the Northeast and mid-Atlantic could see snow, but Interstate 95 will have a rain event.
In the midweek forecast, a stronger area of low pressure over the Tennessee Valley brings a few inches of rain to parts of the lower Mississippi, Tennessee, and Ohio valleys.

Rain will then be spread along the coast of the mid-Atlantic. As the system slides offshore and intensifies, Wednesday seems to be when the most significant impacts will happen.
This will result in colder air filling back into parts of New England and the Northeast, possibly resulting in more snow.
Details remain scarce about a possibly impactful winter storm developing on the East Coast.
It looks like precipitation will spread across the east coast on Thursday and Friday, but we’ll learn more about it later.
