Holiday Travel Friday: Storms, Wind and Fire Danger Slam US Coast to Coast
A storm spanning the U.S. caused power outages for 100,000 in Colorado and triggered travel delays and fire warnings during the busiest holiday travel day, officials said.
- Holiday travel Friday will be disrupted nationwide as gusty rain and lake-effect snow hit the Northeast, from D.C. to Boston, while a coastal storm keeps rain and wind on the West Coast, including western Oregon and southwest Washington.
- A large cross‑country storm from the northern Great Lakes is driving the Northeast's rain and gusty conditions, while dry, windy conditions across the Rockies and Plains create fire risks Friday.
- Forecast data show Northeast gusts up to 60 mph, 1 to 4 inches of rain across western Oregon, southwest Washington and northwest California, and a Flood Watch for coastal Oregon and Washington until 4 a.m. Saturday.
- Communities are already seeing power outages affecting at least 100,000 people, with Boreal Mountain resort and Soda Springs Mountain Resort pausing operations into next week.
- Over the coming days, the coast will likely see 2 to 6 inches of rain from Washington down to California while weekend conditions remain milder with lingering gusts and Great Lakes snow.
