Coming Up on ‘Fox News Sunday’: November 29
This week on ‘Fox News Sunday,’ President Trump says coronavirus vaccines could be distributed as early as next week and U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams weighs in on what we can expect heading into the new year.
As the U.S. approaches the end of the Thanksgiving weekend, forecasters are eyeing a developing storm system along the northern Gulf Coast.
“A developing storm system tracking along the northern Gulf Coast Sunday will bring locally heavy rainfall, potential for flash flooding, and a few strong to severe thunderstorms across the south and southeast states,” the National Weather Service tweeted.
In a note released early Sunday, forecasters said that moderate to heavy rain will spread from the Deep South to the entire East Coast over the next couple of days. Severe thunderstorms are possible across the southeast and the mid-Atlantic coast, they added.
THIS DAY IN HISTORY: NOV. 29

“Accumulating snow expected for parts of the Ohio Valley into the central and southern Appalachians later on Monday into Tuesday,” the National Weather Service said.
In the West, a wave of moisture is expected to reach the Pacific Northwest later on Sunday. “Rain and wind will be on the increase near the coast while snow is forecast to reach into the interior mountains today and into Monday as the front arrives,” the National Weather Service explained. “By Tuesday morning, some of the snow should move into the central Rockies.”
