The countdown to the Christmas festivities in the United States is set to begin next week with Thanksgiving on Thursday, November 28. However, at least 11 states are expected to witness heavy snow and rain amid the winter storm forecast by the National Weather Service (NWS). It will make holiday travel a slightly difficult prospect in these states.

“Unsettled wintry weather is possible with this system, and a slight risk (20 to 40 percent chance) of heavy snow is indicated across parts of the Great Lakes and interior Northeast the day after Thanksgiving into the holiday weekend,” said the NWS Climate Prediction Center had said in an update last Sunday.

“There is an additional risk of high winds and much below normal temperatures across much of the East during the post-Thanksgiving travel period, which could contribute to lower wind chill values,” it added.
