Memorial Day weekend in the US anticipates heavy travel, with potential weather disruptions east of the Rockies. Showers and thunderstorms are expected across the Plains and Mississippi valleys, posing flood risks.

Memorial Day is almost here, marking a day of remembrance for those who lost their lives in service for the country. Observed as a federal holiday, many get the day off for Memorial Day every May, with many federal services and other businesses giving employees the day away form the office to honor those who have fallen.
