NEW YORK -- A Thanksgiving Day storm is forecast to bring rain and even winter-like weather, including snow, for some parts of New York. 

The storm could impact the holiday travel rush on the roads and at airports across the U.S.

Our First Alert Weather team is tracking what to know about the latest timeline.

A storm is brewing for Thanksgiving Day. 

Rain and blustery conditions are expected in New York City for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. 

As far as snow goes, it looks like we could indeed see some, but as of Monday morning it looks as though any snow Thursday will happen well north and west of New York City as opposed to in town itself. 

It's a bit too soon to know how much of an impact the rain and wind will have on the parade, but to put things in context, the only time in the history of the parade that the wind was too strong to fly any balloons was in 1971.

You'll want a raincoat and an umbrella. Temperatures will be in the 40s for much of the day.

Tuesday's a little more active, with showers in the morning. They should clear up by midday, however. While the winds will also pick up, they shouldn't affect flights.
