Chilly storm to dump rain and snow, causing a headache for Thanksgiving travelers
Southern Californians should expect a side of heavy rain, chilly temperatures and possibly snow with their turkey dinners on Thanksgiving as the strongest storm of the season — so far — rolls into the Southland.
The cold and unstable air accompanying this system will bring the possibility for isolated thunderstorms capable of producing brief, heavy downpours, small hail and possibly isolated waterspouts. The system is predicted to be significantly stronger and wetter than a storm last week that broughtFrigid polar air from the storm also will dramatically drop temperatures, which are expected to be about 15 degrees lower than normal for this time of year.
A record 2.52 million passengers are expected to pass through Los Angeles International Airport during the 11-day Thanksgiving travel period, according to the airport. Officials are urging travelers to factor in additional time for traffic congestion and plan to arrive early for their flights.
