What to know ahead of post-holiday travel this weekend as new storm system moves in
Weather hazards slow post-holiday travel across the US
The Midwest, South and Northwest may see post-holiday travel slowdowns due to severe weather.
If you’re planning any holiday travel this weekend, make sure to factor in some extra time.
A new storm system loaded with moisture rolling up from the Gulf of Mexico is expected to bring heavy rain and potential flooding along the I-95 corridor, according to AccuWeather. Similar weather is predicted across the Southeast and Midwest.
The warm air will bring thunderstorms across most of Delaware between Friday and Sunday night, with the heaviest rain predicted to fall between Sunday afternoon and evening.
AccuWeather said poor visibility and possible flooding could lead to “substantial” travel delays. Meteorologists recommend shifting travel times to before or after the storm.
Also, temperatures will rise over the weekend, with highs in the 50s or above.
