Nearly 50 million Americans will pack up their bags for Thanksgiving this year, the most since 2007 , according to AAA.
A winter storm, likely exacerbated by El Niño, kicks off this week with a blast of Arctic air sweeping the West and Plains states, according to Weather.com.
"We could have freezing rain and ice through the Plains states into Friday," Brian Fortier, a senior meteorologist at the Weather Channel, told NBC News.
San Francisco International Airport will likely see temperatures in the 30s, while overnight low temperatures will be in the single digits for parts of the northern and central Rockies on Thursday morning into Saturday.
Besides the weather, some fear the recent terror attacks in Paris have law enforcement on high alert, potentially making security protocols more stringent.
