An active weather pattern could result in delays for those traveling for Christmas into the weekend.
Fewer Americans than usual are expected to travel this holiday season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but as many as 84.5 million may still travel from Dec. 23 through Jan. 3, according to AAA.
Below, we take a look at what to expect each day across the Lower 48.
