Christmas travel to be hit by huge snow bomb as Americans told to plan ahead

Millions may be impacted by weather conditions that could cause travel delays during the Christmas holiday, according to meteorologists.

Rain, thunderstorms, fog and snow are predicted to hit certain areas across the country in the week leading up to the holiday break, forecasters predict. A coastal storm is slated to hit on Friday night that could bring snow to several states. Travelers are warned to be cautious of “slippery” conditions.

Those traveling on the East Coast may be impacted by rain that could lead to traffic, particularly on the Interstate 95, through Thursday.

Cities along the I-95 corridor, including Boston, New York City and Philadelphia, are expected to see high temperatures in the mid- to upper 50s on Tuesday and Wednesday before the cold air breaks the heat on Thursday.
