For Millions of People, Memorial Day Weekend Could be Ruined by Incoming Storm

Meteorologists monitor a slow-moving storm that is expected to disrupt Memorial Day weekend in areas of the Midwest and Northeast. The storm would not only keep temperatures cold for the formal start of summer, but it also has the potential to cause traffic disruptions during the holiday weekend.

This Memorial Day weekend, AAA predicts 60 percent more visitors than last year, though still smaller than pre-pandemic peaks. More than 37 million people would drive 50 miles or more for a holiday, according to the foundation. Just 23 million people traveled for Memorial Day last year, the lowest number since AAA started tracking travel patterns in 2000, when the country was still dealing with the coronavirus pandemic.
