More Trouble Looms for Holiday Travelers

Snow, rain will continue through weekend

Share

(Newser) – Holiday travelers may be in for more trouble this weekend, USA Today reports. Snow is expected from Montana to New Mexico, rain in the Midwest could cause flooding, and the South can expect heavy thunderstorms and possibly a few tornadoes. "It's going to be a wild ride," said one meteorologist. Travelers already have been delayed or stranded throughout the country.

In Chicago, Amtrak and O’Hare International Airport were getting back to normal after snowstorms stranded hundreds of passengers for days on end. Meanwhile, travelers in Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, and Arkansas will battle rain and fog. "Although we're going to have a warmer storm going through the weekend, it's still going to cause a lot of travel problems," said the meteorologist.
