Weather hobbles busy U.S. travel day

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27 (UPI) -- Windy and rainy storm systems made for road and flight delays Sunday as millions of Americans wound down the Thanksgiving holiday.

Rain was forecast from the lower Mississippi Valley to eastern Tennessee and another crossover storm system from the Ohio valley to the Gulf Coast was in line to make travel troublesome, CNN reported.
