FLHurricane.com: Thanksgiving Weather

Early models are trying to add a Mid Western Storm to the Thankgiving weather.
Disagreement at this time over the exact track and intensity of the LOW that is forecast to develop and move into the Midwest in the Thursday- Friday time frame.
Worse case scenario at this time would put stranded travelers in airports. Waiting for flights to resume.
