 A​AA estimates nearly 80 million will travel for Thanksgiving this year and for some, weather could interrupt some of those plans.

Here's a look at the forecast for those hitting the roads and taking to the skies this week, followed by a glimpse of the Thanksgiving forecast.

Monday and Tuesday: A​ cold front and jet stream disturbance will produce some rainfall and gusty winds in parts of the Great Lakes, South and East. Snowfall with that system will be limited to the Upper Midwest.

T​he West will see wide swaths of rain and snow as new storm begins to take shape in west of the Rockies.

W​ednesday: For the big travel day, the central states and Rockies appear to have the most active weather at this time.

S​now could impact travel in Colorado and Utah, including Denver. Meanwhile, a developing wave of low pressure could bring rain to the mid-Mississippi valley and parts of the Ohio Valley. There might be a sliver of snowfall or wintry mix on the northern fringe of that rainfall.

T​hanksgiving Day And Beyond

The forecast for Thanksgiving Day doesn't look great for much of the East. The eastern third of the country could be impacted by active weather, from possible thunderstorms in the Southeast to wintry mix and slush in the Great Lakes, to a little bit of everything in the Northeast and New England.

A​s of right now, it looks like much of the I-95 corridor will be all rain, but make sure you check back for updates throughout the week. Much of the interior Northeast and northern New England could see a wintry mix and/or snow for Thanksgiving.

A rather quiet Thanksgiving day is on tap for m​uch of the central and western U.S.

B​eyond Thanksgiving, the forecast gets a little more unclear, however, by Friday the systems causing rain and snow in the east should be wrapping up and starting to push out. We should see clearing in the East for the weekend's rush of travelers returning home.

O​ne thing that is more certain is a blast of cold air will sweep through the central and eastern states as we end November and begin December.

 Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr has said he would fight back against what he described as a “troubling” threat against him, just days after his estranged ally Sara Duterte said she had asked someone to assassinate the president if she was killed.

In a strongly-worded video message addressing the nation on Monday, Marcos said, “Such criminal plans should not be overlooked.” He, however, did not name Vice President Duterte, his presidential running mate in 2022.

In a dramatic twist in the fierce spat between Marcos and the powerful Duterte family, the daughter of firebrand former President Rodrigo Duterte on Saturday said she had instructed an assassin to kill Marcos, his wife and the parliament speaker if she was killed.

She was responding to a question during an online news conference about whether she feared for her safety. She did not cite any specific threat against her.

“The statements we heard in the previous days were troubling,” Marcos said. “There is the reckless use of profanities and threats to kill some of us.”

If planning the assassination of the president is that easy, how much more for ordinary citizens?”

Duterte told reporters she had yet to hear the president’s statement but would respond later.

Earlier on Monday, Duterte said her statement against Marcos was “maliciously taken out of logical context”.

 Bishop T.D. Jakes, 67, had what his church described as a "slight health incident" during a sermon Sunday.

The megachurch celebrity pastor was seen to pause his sermon and shake as people approached him on stage in footage posted to social media.

The Potter's House Church, the nondenominational Christian church in Dallas, Texas led by Jakes where he was preaching Sunday, released a statement on Jakes' official X account saying that he received "immediate medical attention" after the sermon.

"Bishop Jakes is stable and under the care of medical professionals," the statement said.

Jakes appeared in an Instagram post promoting the service before it began at 9 a.m. CT.
