Storms, snow, and rain: This is what Thanksgiving weather looks like in America

(CNN) — A major storm will affect Thanksgiving travel this week, bringing rain, snow and severe thunderstorms to much of the United States.

This week is expected to be a very busy week on the roads, and airports could be breaking new records, meaning this week’s bad weather couldn’t come at a worse time.

The worst of the powerful storm that hit the East on Tuesday is slowly moving out to sea, but the weather will again disrupt Thanksgiving travel in some places.

Here’s what you can expect throughout this Wednesday:

Tomorrow:

Sometimes heavy rain continues to drench southern New England. Winds will be 20 to 30 miles per hour on the coast, and 50 miles per hour at Cape Massachusetts. These winds may affect air travel at Boston Logan International Airport.

Heavy rain and possible puddles on roads, including Interstate 95, will persist in the Carolinas and extreme southeastern Virginia.

A wintry mix of rain, snow and ice will continue across Vermont and New Hampshire.

Snow will accumulate across Maine except for the coast where cold showers will occur.

Delay:

Snow will accumulate in far northern Maine, but precipitation will turn to rain in the central part of the state in the afternoon as a slightly warmer air moves in.

Rain will end across much of southern New England and New York, but it will be cool and breezy in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast.

Rain will taper off throughout the afternoon in the Carolinas.

Overnight:

The mix of rain and snow will slowly end in Maine as the storm moves completely away from the US.

Some lake-effect snow is possible on Lake Ontario and Lake Ontario.

Snow could impact New England on Wednesday

Weather-related travel disruptions will not be widespread Wednesday as the storm moves slowly off the East Coast and impacts inland are reduced.

Roads in parts of New York, Vermont and New Hampshire could be slick or covered in snow Wednesday morning following Tuesday night’s cold weather. Heavy snow accumulation is expected in Maine on Wednesday as wintry weather moves through Vermont and New Hampshire.

Rain will taper off throughout the day across much of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York, but will persist across the Carolinas and the Southeast.

For commuters in the west, Tuesday and Wednesday will be fine for travel as high pressure will remain under control over almost the entire region.

Dry thanks to most

Thanksgiving will be very cold and dry in the central and eastern United States as cold Canadian air settles in from the storm. However, the influx of this cold air can cause lake effect snow precipitation in the lee of the Great Lakes.

Dry weather is expected for New York’s annual Thanksgiving Day parade this Thursday morning, but some blizzard conditions could linger. Famous parade balloons usually fly low to the ground on a blizzard day and high up on a calm day.

Elsewhere, a few showers are possible along the Texas coast, while snow in the Mountain West could bring fresh snow to the higher reaches of the Northern Rockies.

Quiet time for the return trip?

Overall, the weather will be calm for travelers in the eastern United States returning home from the Thanksgiving holiday on Friday, but the weekend will not be dry.

Another storm could develop over the weekend and move off the East Coast. Showers and wintry weather are possible in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. It’s still too early to know how, or if, this storm is shaping up, but details should be out by mid-week.

Travelers in the west can enjoy another favorable situation as they are under high pressure.
