Snow and rain are in the forecast for some parts of the United States as travelers hit the road and head to the airport for Thanksgiving.

Here is your weather forecast for the holiday week:

Tuesday

Rain sweeps across the East Coast from New York to Alabama Tuesday morning.

There is a slight chance of freezing rain in southern Vermont and the southern Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York before it warms enough to change to rain by midday.

The rain will end in New York City and the Mid-Atlantic by mid-afternoon. Boston will be dry at 19.00

To the west, 3 to 6 inches of rain is possible for the foothills of the southern Sierra Nevada mountain range through Tuesday morning.

Heavy rain is also hitting California’s San Joaquin Valley.

Snow is falling at higher elevations from California to Colorado, with winter storm warnings in effect.

California snow ends Tuesday evening; totals could reach 3 to 5 feet in the southern Sierra Nevada Mountains.

Treacherous travel is expected in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains as snowfall there continues through Wednesday. Up to 3 feet of snow is possible and avalanche warnings are in place.
