Wicked weather threatens Thanksgiving travel for millions of Americans

NEW YORK - Two powerful storms packing heavy snows and strong winds are expected to sweep across the western half of the United States this week just in time to wreak havoc on the plans of millions of Americans travelling for Thursday's Thanksgiving Day holiday.

A second strong storm is expected to dump heavy snow on parts of the Pacific Northwest starting Tuesday night, with blizzard-like conditions in Oregon and Northern California, the NWS said. In the western half of the country, dozens of winter storm watches and warnings were in effect, complicating the plans of many would-be travelers.

Hazardous weather is expected on the East Coast starting late on Wednesday and into Thanksgiving when wind gusts up to 72kmh are possible, the NWS said.
