STORM WATCH: Rainy, windy weather expected to impact Thanksgiving travel

The weather menu is set for Thanksgiving. The main course is rain with a side of wind and cold. New Jersey is offering up savings on COLD for Friday shoppers. Could there be some specials on snow, too?

The weather is looking “un-pheasant” for Thanksgiving. “Beak-careful” getting to holiday destinations, with roads being wet and slippery.
You’ll have to “wing it” with the traditional turkey trots and backyard football games. The rain could make it quite “hawk-ward.” This forecast took a “tern” didn’t it? OK, I can see I’m “fowling out” on the turkey/bird puns so let’s break the forecast down.
TONIGHT: Skies are clearing. The wind is picking up ushering in some cooler temperatures. Low temperatures in the low-30s.
WEDNESDAY: It looks like a nice day. A mix of early sunshine, eventually fading behind a building curtain of clouds. Highs are a seasonable 53.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Clouds continue to thicken and lower. Possible showers before daybreak. Lows around 40.
THANKSGIVING: Periods of rain through most of the day - steady and light, but consistent through dinner time. Highs in the upper-40s.
FRIDAY: Sunny and colder with a bit of a breeze making it feel even chillier Highs in the upper-40s.
WEEKEND: Sunny and colder. Morning lows in the 20s. Daily highs in the upper-30s.
