Your weather forecast this Thanksgiving holiday will be different depending on where you're planning to celebrate it.

If you're traveling to visit loved ones, you won't be alone. AAA anticipates that 46.9 million Americans will journey at least 50 miles from home for the holiday.

The forecast is a mixed bag, with winter weather in the center of the country, chilly temperatures to the west and mild temps to the east. Here's a closer look from meteorologists around the nation:

New York City

With high pressure anchored off of New England, expect a dry Thanksgiving in the Philadelphia region with a mix of sun and clouds. Many years winds are a problem for balloons during the parade, but this year that won't be the case. Morning winds out of the east-northeast will swing around to the south during the afternoon at just 3-6 mph. The normal high for this date is 52 and we are forecasting an afternoon high of 63 -- relatively mild by comparison!
