Thanksgiving will be a washout in Philly, but conditions will improve over the holiday weekend. Here's the forecast from the National Weather Service.

New Jersey will be wet and rainy, but the state will be spared the impacts of a major winter storm affecting the midwestern United States. Travelers should pack an umbrella and if they’re driving, change the wiper blades after weather forecasters predicting a mild and rainy-day for much of Thursday.

The Philadelphia area will see rain in the morning before sunny and breezy conditions later in the day on Thanksgiving.

For many Philadelphians, the closure of Pa. liquor stores means one thing: a quick trip to Jersey. New Jersey offers a welcome reprieve for those looking to buy alcohol on Thanksgiving Day. Liquor stores in the Garden State are allowed to operate on the holiday, except in dry municipalities.

Whether you're gearing up for a big family feast or winding down with a drink after cooking, knowing when you can buy alcohol in Texas will help you avoid any last-minute stress.

Texas liquor stores will be closed Thanksgiving Day. Stock up Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Stores also close Sundays, Christmas, and New Year’s.
