On this Thanksgiving Eve, the weather remains gloomy with scattered rain and fog until a cold front moves through over the next few hours.

So, we are nearing the drier weather, but also getting closer to windier and much colder feeling weather into Thanksgiving tomorrow!

THANKSGIVING UPDATE

Everything is still on track for a dry, but windy and colder feeling day. Please dress warmly!

It is still a close call, but we think the balloons will fly tomorrow. That said, there is a chance they could be flying a bit lower than usual due to wind gusts between 30 to 35 mph at times in NYC during the parade.

The threshold is usually 23 mph for sustained wind and 34 mph for wind gusts. The sustained wind is below the threshold for where major changes are usually made with this, but the gusts are close.

That is why, out of an abundance of caution, you may see some, if not all of the balloons flying a little closer to the ground.

I hope you all have a nice and safe Thanksgiving holiday. You can see more of our local Long Island weather in the above video or in the text below. Have a great night and be prepared to bundle up for the next few days!

TONIGHT: Cloudy with drizzle, a few scattered downpours and some fog until a cold front comes through Long Island between around 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. Brief heavy rain can slow you down during that time. Then, the sky will start to clear a bit and it turns windy and colder through the night. Lows end up in the 30s, but it can feel colder with the increasing wind. Some westerly wind gusts can approach 30 to 35 mph into Thanksgiving morning.
