For many of us the Thanksgiving holiday has begun!

Whether you took off from work Wednesday or plan to celebrate Thanksgiving Eve at a local spot, the holiday starts before Thursday.

A lot happens on these couple days though, and it’s easy to lose track. If you still need to plan your long weekend, figure out travel or keep up on he news of the day, we have you covered.

Make sure to check back at our live blog for updates about Thanksgiving weekend.

The getaway day Wednesday comes a day after a ground delay at Newark Liberty International Airport.

Long lines at security should be expected at the airport so plan accordingly. FlightAware shows six cancellations at Newark during the last 24 hours.

Wednesday appears to be a clear day if you’re traveling, but Thursday looks to be rainy. Plan accordingly if you’re driving on Thursday.

Two turkeys named “Pinot” and “Prosecco” were pardoned Tuesday in Clifton for New Jersey’s official pardoning event. Lt. Gov. Tahesha Way visited Stew Leonard’s in Clifton for the event and the turkeys will live out their days in a New Jersey farm.
