Millions are expected at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on Thursday, and New York City is ramping up security to keep them safe. Mayor Eric Adams is urging parade-goers to stay alert. The NYPD Commissioner said there are no known credible threats, but thousands of officers, drones, K-9 units, and emergency teams will line the route, with social media monitored in real time.
Forecasters are warning that a powerful storm system will blanket the Northern Plains and Great Lakes with heavy snow over the holiday, and that a second storm system is brewing in the Pacific Northwest. Winter storm warnings are in place from Minnesota to Michigan, with some areas expecting more than a foot of snow. The storms are threatening one of the busiest travel weekends on record, as more than 80 million Americans are expected to hit the roads and skies for Thanksgiving.
