Second Coastal Storm in a Week Forecast to Bring a Wet Thanksgiving

SOUTH PLAINFIELD, NJ – A nice weather day for travel on this Thanksgiving Eve will gradually give way to clouds and rain for the holiday.  The second coastal storm in a week will be coming through on Thanksgiving Day, and it will bring rain all day.  

Rainfall amounts will range anywhere from a half to three-quarters of an inch according to the latest forecast from the National Weather Service office in Mount Holly, NJ.  The storm system is expected to track more to the north, which will allow warm air to our region and keep the snow further to the north.
