Temperatures returned close to normal values today as mainly high clouds filtered occasional rays. Those clouds are ahead of an approaching cold front that will deliver another round of rain late tonight into early Thanksgiving Day. Rain shouldn’t linger too long but winds kicking up behind the front may be a little troublesome.

Thursday will be a First Alert Weather Day as steady rain, wind and cooler temperatures arrive. Places north and west of New York City may also see some snow . Holiday travelers will catch a break Wednesday, but unfortunately they will have to navigate some wet weather on Thanksgiving.

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.
