Rain and Cold Temperatures Expected for Thanksgiving in the Northeast

Travelers and Macy's Parade spectators should prepare for wet conditions and chilly weather as a storm system moves through the region.

Rain is forecast to begin Wednesday night and continue through Thanksgiving Day, with up to three-quarters of an inch expected in New York City.
Temperatures in NYC will peak around 50°F on Wednesday before dropping to the mid-40s on Thanksgiving, with strong winds making it feel colder.
The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade will proceed despite rain and potential wind-related challenges for the giant balloons.
Snowfall is possible in northern areas such as New Hampshire, Maine, and the Adirondacks, though NYC is expected to see only rain.
The storm will bring much-needed precipitation to a region recovering from drought, but colder temperatures are expected to persist into the weekend.
