AdvertisementMillions of Americans are braced for a Memorial Day washout, with tornadoes and storms forecast from Colorado to Texas as dismal weather puts a dampener on the traditional start of the summer. Travel has surged for Memorial Day, with more than 1.9 million people passing through U.S. airports Friday. During last year's Memorial Day holiday weekend, Orlando International Airport saw 45,415 departures, compared to an anticipated 300,000 departures this year, Brown said. Meanwhile, much of the Northeast is expected to experience cool temperatures and intermittent rain through Memorial Day. Chicago's beach season typically runs from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend, but the city had kept its 22 Lake Michigan beaches closed last summer as part of its COVID-19 precautions.
