The FOX Forecast Center said a weak storm system is expected to bring rain from parts of the Southeast to the Northeast early this week.

No significant travel disruptions are expected from this low-impact storm, and the FOX Forecast Center expects winter weather to be limited to the Canadian border and the Great Lakes region.

Meanwhile, as warmer temperatures continue to the east, heavy rain should fall along the heavily traveled Interstate 95 corridor. But this is by no means a deal breaker when it comes to Thanksgiving travel.

At the same time, the FOX Forecast Center said a more powerful storm system will work through the Intermountain West, which could lead to snow-covered roads and delays at major airports in that region.

But of greater concern for residents and visitors in the eastern U.S., the FOX Forecast Center said it will monitor a winter storm that could impact millions of people in the Northeast and New England beginning Wednesday and lasting through the weekend .

Additionally, the first heavy snowfall of the season could also hit the Great Lakes region next weekend and early next week.
