If you're watching this and you have travel plans today, you might want to get an early start. Experts are predicting a record number of travelers on the road and in the sky. This Memorial Day, Triple A says that it could total nearly 44 million people during the all-time record. The TSA announced that on Friday, it screened nearly three million travelers at checkpoints nationwide, the most ever recorded in a single day. However, today, many flights could be impacted by severe storms across the country.
Up until a few minutes ago, Hartsfield Jackson Airport in Atlanta was under a ground stop, potentially affecting thousands of travelers. The storms could disrupt travel plans for many individuals returning home after the busy holiday weekend. The TSA set a new record on Friday with 2.95 million people screened at airports nationwide, just shy of the all-time high set after Thanksgiving.
