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 rain is likely to stick around for most of Turkey Day, but shouldn't impact travel — or be enough to lift the drought.
