As the United States prepares to celebrate Thanksgiving, a powerful cold front is expected to sweep across the country, bringing with it a mix of rain, snow, and gusty winds. The East Coast, particularly Delaware, is forecast to experience a dramatic temperature drop, with temperatures plummeting to the mid-30s Fahrenheit on Thanksgiving Day. A winter storm warning is in effect for much of the northern and central U.S., with the Great Lakes, Midwest, and upper Plains expected to face heavy snow due to the 'lake-effect snow.' The Central and Eastern states are projected to see a sharp drop in temperatures, with lows well below freezing. According to AccuWeather, substantial blowing and drifting snow is forecast in parts of Minnesota and northern Michigan, with an all-out blizzard developing near Lake Superior. The South and Southwest, however, are expected to see relatively milder conditions, with some coastal and southern states experiencing pleasant, rain-free weather. The National Weather Service has issued travel-weather warnings, and airlines are bracing for the impact. As of Wednesday morning, over 1,100 flights were delayed or disrupted due to the winter storm in the Upper Midwest region. Motorists are warned to be cautious of slippery, snow-covered roads in the Midwest and wind-driven rain in the South and mountain-snow hazards in the Pacific Northwest. 'Travelers can expect several inches of snow to impact major interstates, reducing visibility and creating hazardous conditions,' warns AccuWeather. With temperatures in the 20s and 30s, the storm is expected to cause significant travel delays, particularly in Minneapolis, Chicago, and Cleveland. As the country gears up for the long weekend, residents are advised to check the latest weather forecast and plan accordingly.
