Rain is falling across the Northeast on Thursday morning, setting up what's bound to be a soggy 
Thanksgiving for dozens of states.

The forecast for both the New York 

and Philadelphia's Thanksgiving parades are on track for

 periods of rain and drizzle with temperatures in the

 40s and a chilly breeze at 10-25 mph.

Timing it out

For cities like D.C., Philly, and NYC, this will mainly be a 

morning rain event, with some slow improvements expected 

by later today.

Rainfall should gradually taper off by mid-day in the 

Mid-Atlantic, with Philadelphia likely seeing it end by around

 noon.
