Holiday Travel Chaos Looms as Coast-to-Coast Storms Strike

As Thanksgiving approaches, coast-to-coast storms are setting the stage for a challenging travel week. Heavy snow has blanketed northern California, with some areas recording nearly a foot of snowfall overnight. Sonoma County and other parts of wine country experienced record-setting rainfall over just three days, leading to widespread flooding. The storm system is now moving east, putting major travel hubs like Boston, New York City, and Washington, D.C., on alert for heavy rain starting Tuesday. This wet weather could complicate the Thanksgiving travel rush, with 80 million Americans expected to journey more than 50 miles from home. Of these, 5.8 million will travel by air, making this one of the busiest holiday travel seasons in years, according to AAA. Adding to the challenges, an air traffic controller shortage may cause delays at airports in the New York City area. The FAA has warned that traffic flow management measures may be necessary to maintain safety during peak travel times. TSA expects its busiest days to be Tuesday, Wednesday, and Sunday, prompting travelers to brace for long lines and potential delays. Passengers are encouraged to stay updated on weather conditions and arrive at airports early to navigate the disruptions. This Thanksgiving travel season is shaping up to be a test of patience for millions, as storms and logistical challenges collide across the country.

As fall approaches, it’s time to start thinking about your annual flu shot. The CDC recommends flu vaccination every season for nearly everyone 6 months and older, and September or October is generally the ideal time for most people to get vaccinated. The 2026-27 flu vaccines have been updated to target the strains expected to circulate this season. There’s also a new option this year: Moderna’s mFLUSIVA, the first FDA-approved mRNA flu vaccine, for adults 50 and older. Talk with your health care provider about which flu vaccine is right for you and make a plan to get vaccinated this fall.
