Here's what to expect on the road and in the skies as you head home after Labor Day weekend
RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- The weather put a damper on Labor Day travel not just in the Triangle but across the county.
Rain and storms slowed travel on the roads and caused some minor inconveniences for people traveling through the airport. However, so far there have not been major traffic disruptions.
"The weekend was great when we got there finally, but getting there was a bit much," The Thompson family said after returning from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. "So traffic on the way there, definitely traffic on the way back, has been about an hour or some change. Back-to-back traffic."
Millions of people hit the road and skies on Labor Day.
Raleigh-Durham International Airport expected to see a record-breaking number of travelers over the weekend. TSA said it would likely screen more than 17 million passengers between Monday and Wednesday.
On Sunday, there were at least 102 delays and nine cancellations.
