As the week between Christmas and New Year’s Eve comes to a close, travel remains as busy as ever. With several storm systems impacting the country from coast to coast, messy conditions could lead to delays both on the roads and in the air.

The storm system that brought record rainfall to places such as Philadelphia and Atlantic City, New Jersey, on Wednesday will continue up the coast into New England through the day Thursday.

Steady rain and an isolated flooding risk will accompany this system as it treks into New England. On Thursday morning, 10 million people were under flood alerts.

Even as rain mostly tapers off during the day Thursday, low clouds and lingering showers will continue to cause air delays for major hubs such as New York City and Boston. On Friday, as lingering moisture meets cold air across Maine, rain will change over to snow, creating the possibility of slick roadways.

A separate storm system moving across the Florida Peninsula will bring morning rain to places such as Miami and Fort Lauderdale, before drying out by the evening commute.

Meanwhile, the Midwest has its own share of inclement weather this week, with a mix of rain and snow forecast to impact much of the region Thursday. Temperatures hovering just above freezing will limit snow accumulations, but slushy roads and poor visibility could impact travel in the northern sections of Interstates 75 and 65.

Chicago, Indianapolis and Milwaukee airports could all see flight delays Thursday as the system progresses east. The Ohio and the Tennessee valleys could also face a few snow showers Thursday night into Friday as the system continues south and east. Some flurries could even push as far south as the extreme northern parts of Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia. While no accumulation is expected here, novelty flakes could cause a stir for these southern spots.

Another rainmaker of a storm will encompass almost the entire state of Florida on Thursday, bringing steady rainfall with widespread totals of up to an inch. Every Florida airport runs the risk of experiencing delays because of this soaker, with wet roadways likely to create headaches for those traveling.

And the West Coast is bracing for torrential rains as another system makes its way inland Thursday into Friday. Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle are all looking at likely flight delays and almost the entire Interstate 5 corridor can expect a soaking by Friday afternoon with rainfall totals up to 3 inches possible.

Those making travel plans should plan ahead and prepare accordingly as the last few days of December come to a dreary end.

Story from Jam Press (Idiot Throws Rock) Pictured: Video grab - The tourist is seen casting the heavy rock in northern Spain¿s Picos de Europa National Park. VIDEO: Idiot tourist faces ¿168,000 fine for throwing huge rock down gorge in popular park An idiot tourist is facing an eye-watering ¿168,000 fine for throwing a massive rock down a gorge in a popular national park. The young man¿s pal filmed him casting the heavy rock and the video was later uploaded to social media for ¿likes¿. Seconds after the large stone was tossed, a deafening bang was heard as it hit the ground several metres below. The idiotic stunt was filmed at a point along the popular Cares Trail in northern Spain¿s Picos de Europa National Park. Of the park¿s estimated 2m annual visitors, around 300,000 hike the Cares Trail - its most popular walking route. The clip was later shared by a social media account that features videos of young people throwing rocks into voids. Although most clips on the page get a handful of views, this one blew up and quickly caught the police¿s attention. The Spanish Civil Guard have since announced that they are investigating the young man¿s antics, as reported by NeedToKnow. A spokesperson said: ¿This stunt could cost you dearly. ¿Throwing this rock could land this person with a fine ranging from ¿5,001 to ¿200,000. ¿Why? Because disturbing the environment in the Picos de Europa National Park is classed as a very serious offence. ¿Keep that in mind when visiting a national park - these are specially protected areas due to their high environmental value.¿ Javier said: ¿There are livestock farmers who pass through down there. Your little joke could¿ve ended badly.¿ Another viewer said: ¿You have to be a real idiot - you could¿ve gone down with the rock. The force and weight of that boulder could¿ve smashed someone to pieces.¿ A third said: ¿There¿s an alternative path underneath - I just hope no one was down there. And let¿s not forget, people go canyoning or climbing in those areas - when you throw something, there could be someone below.¿ A fourth said: ¿He should be accompanied by a responsible adult - it¿s clear he¿s not ready to be out on his own.¿ And a fifth said: ¿In the mountains, you mustn¿t throw rocks if you can¿t see where they¿ll land - you have no idea who might be below. You could hit a person or an animal.¿ ENDS EDITOR¿S NOTES: Quotations have been translated to English.
