Forecast on the volume of travel during the Memorial Day weekend, especially in Door County, is anyone’s guess.  AAA has decided not to release a forecast for the first time in two decades.  AAA said in a written statement that the data to create the report had been undermined by the COV-19 pandemic, thus making it impossible to accurately predict the number of travelers heading out for the holiday weekend.  Door County Sheriff's Chief Deputy Pat McCarty reminds drivers to use extra care regardless of the traffic volume.

Last year, some 43 million Americans traveled more than 50 miles from home during the Memorial Day Weekend, which was the second-highest volume recorded by AAA since 2000.  You can find tips on safer travel with the link below from the Centers For Disease Control.
