An all-time high number of travellers will need to face the poor weather conditions this time.
Memorial Day holiday weekend
as
rain appears poised to soak
much of the U.S.
Approximately 45.1 million individuals were expected to travel via airways, highways, and other means of transport from Thursday through Monday, as reported.
According to meteorologists, travelers heading through central and eastern parts of the U.S. can expect lower temperatures along with stormy weather.
“The latter part of the Memorial Day weekend is expected to remain mostly dry yet significantly cooler,” says AccuWeather Lead Long-Range Meteorologist Paul Pastelok.

Keep an eye on your flowers and vegetables because there might be a frost in areas of Pennsylvania and upstate New York come Sunday morning should the clouds part ways and the wind calm down.
After a uncommon May nor’easter and a wet beginning to the month, additional showers are forecasted for the Big Apple and the Northeast from Friday through Saturday.
Along the east coast, people traveling with their families to Disney World in Orlando might want to bring along some raincoats.
“Short-lived yet soaking sea breeze thunderstorms might occur across the Florida Peninsula and typically move from east to west each day,” Pastelok explained.
Although most of the Southeast may remain calm, AccuWeather reports an increased chance of thunderstorms over the Gulf region, Tennessee Valley, and Plains states. Such storms are anticipated near Memphis as well as Kansas City.
Pastelok mentioned that as fronts oscillate back and forth accompanied by small storm systems moving through, they’ll initiate showers and thunderstorms, particularly severe ones across the Plains region. He also noted that continuous rainfall episodes could occur further north in the north-central Plains and extending eastward towards the Ohio and Tennessee River valleys, areas where the ground is already quite saturated.
Rainfall will aid in alleviating drought conditions in certain arid regions; however, campers should be wary of potentially hazardous flash floods due to over-saturated ground. Areas within the central states might experience as much as 10 inches of precipitation.
Farther to the west, thunderstorms might form all the way to the Rocky Mountains and New Mexico, and the Northwest won’t remain completely dry.
Nonetheless, it’ll be mild along the West Coast. Interior Northwestern temperatures are predicted to climb into the 80s on both Sunday and Monday. The Southwestern region will experience even higher heat levels.
Pastelok stated that temperatures are expected to exceed 100 degrees daily in the desert regions, whereas the central and southern parts of California’s inland valley will see peak temperatures reaching deep into the 90s.
