People gathered in New York City for the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade despite the cold wet weather. The event marks the 100th year of the parade and featured more than 30 balloons and 20 floats, 11 marching bands, and 10 performance groups.

While the rain will start to taper off by the late afternoon hours, the forecast, in a nutshell, is a wet and dreary Thanksgiving. Rainfall totals regionwide are anticipated to be between .5-1 inches – something to be thankful for, amid the ongoing drought.
