After a long-delayed rainfall and first snow of the season (for some), all eyes are turning to the holiday week ahead.
Millions are expected to hit the roads and skies next week for the Thanksgiving holiday, and while the exact forecast is still coming into view, we have a few ideas of what could be in store.
But first, there's one final weekend to get through.
Wind will be a main fixture of both Saturday and Sunday. Storm Team 4 says to watch out for some airport delays and possible power outages throughout our area. The strong gusts will make things feel quite a bit chillier.

Winds die down overnight and the week starts cool and dry on Monday before a chance of rain moves in Tuesday morning.
The next day is a bit repetitive, with breezy and chilly conditions on deck for Sunday as well. Monday quiets down a bit before rain (yes, we're saying rain) makes another return.
Turning our attention to the end of the month🥶.

After Thanksgiving, a large portion of the U.S. will likely see below normal temperatures into early December.https://t.co/EQ7rAgxk6c pic.twitter.com/siBhjKrXFJ

Now on to the main event.
We're closely tracking the potential for a Thanksgiving storm. Weather models show rain starting on Thursday for New York City and areas to the south and east.
The storm is likely to be a rain event, but could include snow for some to the north and west.
This system looks to linger around for a while. Whatever does fall from the sky could last into Friday, but that timing and duration is still up in the air.
