New York City and the surrounding area have some rain in the weather forecast today as we head into Thanksgiving and the holiday weekend.

A “once in 300 year” storm has battered southern Thailand, bringing floodwaters more than eight feet high that in one city cut off access to a maternity ward holding 30 newborn babies, staff and officials said.

Portland will see continued rain Wednesday with another half inch of precipitation possible. The high temperature will reach about 53 degrees. The weather service says model guidance has pushed back the arrival of the next system from Wednesday night to sometime Thanksgiving morning.

Up to 1 inch of rain is possible for parts of New Jersey starting Tuesday afternoon and continuing into Wednesday.

Temperatures in the Chicago area are forecast to dip into the 30s starting Wednesday, and wind chills could fall to a low of 6 degrees Thursday morning, according to the National Weather Service.

The week of Thanksgiving will be mostly sunny, though rain is in the forecast on Tuesday and conditions will turn much cooler after the holiday.

Storm conditions are expected to continue in Texas, which has already had impressive rainfall this week. A flash flood watch is in effect for 12 million people in parts of north-central Texas, including Dallas and stretching all the way to the Mexican border at Del Rio. It is expected to remain in effect through Friday morning.

Thanksgiving week in Metro Detroit is forecast to bring a shift toward rain and colder wintry conditions, meteorologists say. The week is slated to start off mild on Monday. The area is expected to bring increasing cloud cover with temperatures topping out in the 50s. The average high on Nov. 24 is 45 degrees, National Weather Service records show.

After a sunny Thanksgiving, at least one forecaster says freezing rain might hit Fort Worth. But others say it's too soon to tell.
