Tamara Scott reports that today is projected to be one of the busiest travel days, influenced by drizzle across the Triangle area. AAA anticipates over 119 million Americans will travel at least 50 miles from home this holiday season. The best driving times are before 2 PM or after 7 PM. Additionally, TSA expects to screen nearly 40 million travelers, with RDU experiencing numerous delays and cancellations—72 delays and seven cancellations reported yesterday.
