top of the hour. glad you are with us on this special holiday edition of "cnn this morning." israel says that hamas' hostages won't be released until tomorrow. we are standing by for word from qatar, the down mediating the

deal, on when the truce will begin. fiery explosion shuts down a significant border crossing with canada following a speeding bentley which hit a median and burst into flames. the driver and his wife killed. the fbi saying this was not be a act of terrorism. and also the macy's thanksgiving day parade starting in half an hour. officials saying there are no specific threats around the annual tradition. and they are warning of a heightened threat environment though. this hour of "cnn this morning" starts now. we have a team covering this from tel aviv to cairo. and we're waiting for qatar to announce when a four day truce will begin so that the hostages can start to be released. you see they willing ready for the press conference. we'll bring it to you as soon as it begins. the pause in fighting, that was expensed already this morning but it has been delayed and no hostages will be freed until tomorrow. >> part of the deal would also

allow more humanitarian aid into gaza. there are convoys as you can see of trucks loaded with food, water and other desperately needed supplies lined up at the border crossing in egypt. >> oond lelet's start with kait collins live in tel aviv. do you have any update on the timing as we wait to hear from qatari officials? >> we're still waiting on the timing. of course this is something that everyone is looking to, what is the timing of this actually going to look like. yesterday we had been told the pause would be in the fighting. these hostages would start being released in a six hour window. but we have not seen that happen yet. it does not mean that it won't happen. there have been last hiccups. hamas had yet to turn over the

list of names. the first ten or so in the initial release. so what we're waiting to hear from this press conference in qatar is to hear if there is any update on this timing. and these officials will be the ones to know because they have been the ones negotiating the entire deal. basically acting as inte intermediary. so we'll see what the line of communication looks like, whether or not there will be other delays. they are not only getting 50 hostages at least released, but also in exchange giving back 150 palestinian prisoners. and that is something that was a

difficult decision for them to make. the majority of the names on this list of 300 people that they produced for 16 to 18-yea 18-year-olds males, so still a lot of questions about what this will look like. and the reason this initial day of the hostage deal is going to be so important is because essentially it will serve as a template for what the next days could look like. there is no resident for what it will look like when it comes to getting the hostages together, getting them released, getting them through rafah and back into israel. so that will really be key to see how that day works and whether or not -- what it means for the release of additional hostages and hopefully the days to come after that. >> absolutely. and also the idf just finally confirmed that it did detain the director of the al-shifa hospital. what more do we know about why? sgle well, for weeks we have been hearing that they used the al-shifa hospital, one of the biggest hospitals in gaza, as

essentially a command and control center. they have this entire 3d template of what they believed hamas' infrastructure under the hospital looked like. we have not seen the extent of what that showed, but they have shown tunnels and rid i don'ts that they say stretch underground of the al-shifa hospital that they say links back to that hospital. so we are now hearing from the idf that they have detained the direct to have of that hospital. they want to know what his involvement was in those tunnels and he is being questioned by the israeli security agency. and fending on essentially what he tells them will determine whether or not there will be further questioning. the question is whether or not there will be outrage over this given this is the director of the hospital. we've heard from other hospital officials, doctors who they don't work there all the time

this will be a question that israel has for this director of the hospital. one thing that we should note, speaking of hospitals and places that desperately need aid, it is any medical center that is still able to operate in gaza right now, so many of them can't because they don't have those crucially needed supplies. that is a major part of the deal, humanitarian aid going into gaza. eleni giokos is live in cairo where we're expecting to see the aid go in once the deal does begin. and i wonder, have the drivers of these trucks, have officials there on the ground heard anything about the timing here? >> reporter: we don't know about the timing but we know we're seeing huge convoys of trucks carrying a lot of aid. and frankly, that has now been ratcheting up over the past couple of days.

we've heard from the team on the ground saying that fuel trucks have entered gaza. two trucks. the normal quota we've seen the past few days. but it is the big question on the aid. now, this truce is going to allow a lot more to get into the gaza strip which is desperately needed. and we know medical supplies are running out. food, water, and importantly fuel. we actually spoke to one little palestinian boy that was injured and evacuated into egypt and this is what he thought about the four day truce. take a listen. >> translator: i want them for extend it to a full humanitarian tr truce so we can live free and safe. four days will not be enough to even bury the martyrs.

>> reporter: and so they are calling for a right out ceasefire. and so too international aid organizations. mar continue griffintin griffin cnn saying that they negotiate daily and that the number of trucks of food and fuel and medical supplies has to come with negotiations with israel, that israel has the final say. so this truce is going to be pivotal in getting more aid in. >> yeah, obviously such a critical part of this that is so meaningful to people like the children there and others there who want this aid so desperately. thank you so much and we'll continue to check back in with you. this is desperately needed aid for so many of those people in gaza who are going without basic humanitarian supplies at this point. >> and i think that you are right, huge part of the deal that is not in the headlines as

much as obviously the release of hostages, but it is crucial. we'll get back to you very soon. for weeks these hostages have lived in isolation away from their homes and families. hadas had two of her children kidnapped on october 7 along with her father. clarissa ward spoke with her. >> every day, all day, i don't want to think, i don't want to feel. it is too painful. you know, when they start to ask me like interview like you, show me the picture of your child, tell me last thing he told you. it break my heart because last thing he told me was mom, be quiet. i love you. he was worried for me. >> when you think of god willing your babies come home and are part of this release, do you worry about how they will be

changed by what they have experienced? >> they are changed. they won't be the same. >> as mother she knows. and when the hostages are released, a team of doctors will help them recover from this traumatic experience. one of those will help them try to re-enter society, head of the medical team for hostages and missing families forum, and he is joining us from tel aviv. thank you for being with us. just listening to hadas there, she knows as a mother her children will be forever changed. how do you even start to help them? >> we are here for them all the time. and they need us. the families are in working position the last six weeks and now these days, it is so complicated for them, they don't know what is going to happen. every delay of even one more day is very, very challenging for

them. they don't know how they will come back. and we are -- with all the families, i must say, that all the families need support and you said about the red cross visit to the other hostages, regardless of any agreement, that is basic right of anyone that was abducted, innocent people abducted to receive the visit to be treated properly and to provide families with sign of life nap must be done. and process of the recovery for they who come back god willing this week will be very, very difficult. we have going to stick to being professional, being personal, meet the personal needs and to be patient because we cannot take care of all the deficiencies at once.

>> and you put it in i think excellent terms but really stark when you noted that everything that these hostages will be facing when they come out. it is not just that they have likely been in the dark for now a month and a half. it is people who may have been without medication, critical medication. some of them without shoes, maybe without their glasses, their contact lenses, they can't see. and they also may not know the extent of what happened on october 7. how do you begin and when do you even begin to have those conversations? >> obviously to be patient, and you know, for children, what it is like for children, think about abigail, just 3 1/2 years old, so both parents murdered. we don't know who took care of her, what is in her mind. and so that is something that will take a long time to bring

back trust in and kindness of people. support that people get is helpful. hostages come back and they are treated by objects, not as humans. we need to bring back humanity. and i must tell you, it is in a sense some reminding of the survivors of the holocaust. some places entire communities and homes were burned. so yes, we need to be sensitive and just imagine the -- they won't immediately go to a safe place. they start from hamas, to the red cross, to the idf and then hospital and then community. it will be a long and slow

recovery. but we will be there to support them, to support the families. >> yesterday that you have learned a lot from the experience of the 85-year-old hostage released by hamas. what did you learn that will guide how you care from the other hostages as they come home? sgle well, it is really specific things. you know, like she mentioned the issue of the lights.>sgle well, specific things. you know, like she mentioned the issue of the lights.>sgle well, specific things. you know, like she mentioned the issue of the lights. well, it i things. you know, like she mentioned the issue of the lights. she said it was very dark and when you go outside and you get to the hospital, so much light, so you need to dim the light. you know, also i met another hostage released. and, you know, i -- i will tell you, i asked after we spoke for some while, i asked when we said good-bye could i hug you and she said no, you know, i prefer not. and that of course is completely fine.

but you know, we all want to hug them. but maybe they don't want to be hugged. and she said remember that other people may not have the power to tell you i don't want to be hugged. so we need to be very sensitive and for example the instructions regarding children, that it may be difficult for them to walk, not to take them, but to ask them, do you want me to hold you and to help you. because maybe they are afraid, maybe they don't want to be taken. again, we need to bring back to them their control over their body, over their life. it is really slow complicated recovery. we know the hospitals in israel have been preparing, but we need to walk together and also with the families. because for the families it seems like okay, now we're so happy, but many of them still family members are still being kept hostage. and, you know, they would come and also want to hug. so we learn to be very patient with everyone. and i must remind you, we care those who are released, but

those we not care knows who remain hostage and don't get the medical and psychological support they need and maybe they don't know if people that are left are left because they are leased or because they will be killed. it will be very difficult for them. that is why the red cross visit is so necessary always. and now more than ever. >> it really is. everyone trying to get clarity on will the red cross being given access to the hostages. professor, thank you very much for talking to us and what you are doing to help those who need it most. >> thank you so much. we all have hopes for good news. as those families do anxiously a wait for word on whether their loved ones will be among the 50 who are set to be released, there is now criticism of that hostage deal. we'll discuss that with former trump national security adviser john bolton just ahead.

israel saying that the deal is delayed. and that is spark criticism in some including john bolton who posted on social media the israel-hamas hostage deal is counter productive. as long as the ceasefire oig is in place, the ability to eliminate hamas is sidelined. they will use this time for their advantage preparing for the next stage of combat. and john bolton is joining us. good to have you with us. so you call the deal counterproductive. netanyahu saying that the idf and all security establishments

fully support this outline. he believes that this is the right deal for right now. >> well, i think he's wrong. and i think that the situation is into the irreparable, but a lot depends on what is happening coming out of it. there are many aspects of this deal that are wrong. but what i think is the most problematic, the game being played here is hamas couldn't care less about a humanitarian pause. what they are interested this is getting a pause started. and then extending it to become a truce. and then extending it further to become a ceasefire. that may not happen all the once, but hamas benefits more than the israeli defense forces do by having this pause because when the conflict begins again as prime minister netanyahu said it was, the blame will be placed on israel. we already see resolve in the

white house slackening. to achieve what israel said was its objective which is a legitimate objective of self-defense and that is the elimination of hamas, hamas is playing for time to prevent that from happening. now, this one event is not going to be deceispositive, but if th pattern continues, this is a dangerous road to have gone down. quite apart from everything else wrong with the deal. >> and are you specifically talking about the initial four day pause which as you pointed out could be extended, which would then allow for more hostages to be released? you pointed out the prime minister has said that the fighting will resume, but are you concerned that that may not happen? >> sure, look at what is wrong with exactly that provision in the deal. who in their right mind allows their address

adversary to determine the length of the ceasefire. and when the ends of the four days come and hamas says that we can't produce ten hostages tomorrow but we'll produce five, you can see how it can play out. i don't expect it to happen all at once, but i do expect several iterations of this that will see the white house which is desperately fearful of the pressure from the democratic left, the pro palestinian democratic left on the president's re-election chances. people need to stand up and say one way or another do you believe that it is legitimate for israel to achieve the objective of eliminating hamas? because a lot of people pushing for the pause/truce/ceasefire don't believe that that is a legitimate objective. that is really where the nub of this lies. >> so you are talking about as if this was a deal simply made by the united states. but it is important to point out that while we know there have been significant talks for weeks and sometimes on the hour as we are learned from our reporting, the prime minister in israel, benjamin netanyahu, was clear

that he says this is all about israel's tough negotiations. his words. he talked about heavy diplomatic pressure and simply asking joe biden do things at his request. >> look, bibi is under enormous political pressure at home. not because of the hostage situation, but because of domestic israeli politics. and i will guarantee you that the real pressure here came from the biden white house. of course netanyahu is going to announce it as a positive development. he didn't have any choice. >> what do you think we'll hear in terms of when the deal could be started? we were told this morning from different representatives that this is really sort of technical, right? getting all the ducks in a row is what it sounds like. do you believe that it could in fact happen on friday? >> well, i don't know. i mean, i have a strong belief in hamas' utter cynicism that goes along with its depravity. and i think that the idea that

you string this out and you hear these endless tales about obviously the anguish that the families are going through, they are just upping the pressure on israel not to get back in to active military hostilities. and i would say also the exuberance about all the aid coming into gaza, you knee know, when herbert huoover began aid, he said that it only goes to noncombatants.nee know, when herbert hoover began aid, he said that it only goes to noncombatants.ee know, when herbert hoover began aid, he said that it only goes to noncombatants. know, when herbert hoover began aid, he said that it only goes to noncombatants. know, when herbert hoover began aid, he said that it only goes to noncombatants.know, when herbert hoover began aid, he said that it only goes to noncombatants. and it has to be monitored by the donors. have the trucks been monitored, do we know hamas won't seize the aid when it gets in to gaza? >> so there have been specific discussions about the fuel in particular and where it will be going. and as we look at everything happening in the region, we have

news this morning that u.s. warship shot down multiple one way attack drones launched from houthi controlled areas of yemen, just the latest example of rising tensions in the region. is there a concern that this could escalate into a broader conflict? >> it is not rising tension. it is not about a broader conflict. this is the iranian ring of fire strategy plays out. we don't know exactly what will happen. but i can tell you this, the houthi rebels in yemen would not have two rocks to rub together against israel if it weren't for iran. in the north, we've now seen almost seven full week of hezbollah attacking targets in northern israel. this is all part of a larger effort. we don't know the exact dimensions of it. but the conflict is real. and it is not a hamas versus israel war. this is a war against one of america's closest allies

coordinated by one of our most -- one of our worst enemies. >> we have to leave it there. thank you for your time. >> thank you. and breaking news to share with you, rescue crews in independent i can't are getting closer to reaching those 41 men who have been trapped in the collapsed himalayan tunnel for h more than 11 days. once the workers have been reached, it could take another two to three hours to bring them out. the trapped workers have been getting food and water and oxygen through a pipe after the entrance to the tunnel they were building gave way. we'll keep you posted. fbi says it does not see a link to terrorism after a car crash and explosion at a u.s./canada border crossing wednesday afternoon. the latest details on that incident just ahead. and balloons are ready, the crowd is gathered here in new york city for the annual macy's thanksgiving day parade. it is set to begin just a few minutes from now. we'll take you live to the parade route.

we're learning more about the deadly explosion at the rainbow bridge near niagara falls that killed two in a

speeding bentley. the fbi and new york's governor say that it was not a terrorist act. but rather just a tragic accident, the crash created havoc at the u.s./canadian border on one of the busiest travel days of the year. athena jones is live in buffalo with more. >> reporter: and i'm at that border crossing where the tragic accident occurred. it caused a lot of confusion and fear for several hours yesterday, happening on one of the busiest travel days of the year. and shutting down all four bridge skcrossings at onewone p between the u.s. and canada. listen to the governor and fbi special agent in charge had to say about what they concluded about the incident. >> i first thought it was an airplane. looked like slow motion. and i said my god is, it is a car. and it is a vehicle and flying through the air. >> at this time there is no indication of a terrorist attack.

>> i feel like at this point that this might be just something that occurred. there is no larger picture here to look at. >> reporter: so that witness describes the scene. let me show you, the vehicle they believe was a 2022 bentley, so very expensive car. traveling at a high rate of speed from the u.s. side of the border after leaving a casino. we can see on the ground where it rammed up against this barrier, drove through the mud and smearing on the ground and launching and landing below that gray structure over there. so the car was incinerated. it made it difficult for authorities to even determine how many people were in the vehicle. governor hochul saying that all that was left was the engine. soyou imagine how much fear and concern it caused. but all the partners converged quickly and remarkably were able to reach the conclusion that

they scoured this man's 13450ed a social media and said there didn't appear to be anything there. and it wasn't a nefarious ability and no links to terrorism and appeared to be just a terrible incident. there will still be an investigation into what happened. authorities believe that the man had planned to go to a concert by the rock group kiss in canada, and that when that concert was cancelled decided to come instead to a casino on the new york side. and he and his wife were in that car. on so just a tragic event. >> and what is security like this morning? is the bridge even open again? >> bridge is not yet open as you can see behind me, not a huge security presence here. a lot more cars even just last night when we arrived, so all three other bridge crossings have been reopened. and so this rainbow bridge still -- we were told that this investigation is being handed over to the local police as a

traffic investigation. and now that it is no longer a federal terrorism investigation. and so we under this is still a crime scene and so it could still take a while before this bridge is reopened. but there are several other routes now between can in a dand da canada and the u.s. so tourists should not find themselves trapped. >> thank you for the update. and the iconic macy's thanksgiving day parade balloons flying hoigh. and there is a new earlier start time for the first time in its history. nypd is ensuring parade goers there are no credible threats and no active security concerns. brynn gingras is live with more on the security preps. best seat in the house. happy thanksgiving. >> reporter: good morning.

happy thanksgiving to you. and you can hear the band behind me, the parade is coming our way. draw your attention to that for a minute. but also want to draw your attention to all the police officers that you can see scattered along the parade route. every few feet just one of the security measures that we have been seeing and usually see at this major iconic event. recently i saw bomb sniffing dogs walk along the parade route as well. as you said, no credible threats, but of course all the security measures taken as we are in sort of a high state of alert with law enforcement saying of course there is work being done behind the scenes as well. to make sure that these 3.5 million people who come to this annual event have a good time and are safe doing it because that of course is what it is all about. these men and women of the nypd, state, federal, local law enforcement working to make sure that all these people have a great time. they are hyped up of course.

and you can see the band is coming down, the very start of the iconic parade, 97 years and a great day for it. so happy thanksgiving to you guys. we are safe and all is well. >> and one quick question. we know it started a little earlier. and there are new balloons this year? >> reporter: yeah, so you will actually see one of the newest ones soon if you tune in, that is snoopy, different care yags variation of what we typically see. and i see lie owe with netflix, tune into that movie, but one of those parade balloons is lie owe. and great performances by bands ands we'll see cher, in vogue, a lot of great performers. it will be a fun day. >> cher, she has a new christmas

album. have a great day. happy thanksgiving. >> nice to see some joy. >> yes, it is. back to the top story, we are waiting for word from qatar on when the release of hostages will start after the deal delayed until at least tomorrow. we'll bring you what officials are saying next.

we're waiting to hear from qatar on the timing of the truce and hostage release, and this after the israeli government said the deal had been delayed until friday. caitlin collins is live with more on this for us. and any further update on the timing at this point?

>> we're still waiting to hear. and of course this is something that could determine what the next several hours are really going to look like when this hostage deal could get kicked off as we are waiting to see not only for the hostages to be released, but the pause in fighting to happen, surge of the humanitarian aid. so we're waiting to hear from the qatari officials who we know have been having conversations with people like secretary of state antony blinken, in doha, they have been having these conversations. we got word that it wouldn't happen today as we had heard from sources, that there was supposed to be about a six hour window from when the hostages would be released and they were expected to go through egypt and make their way here where they would be reunited with their families, assessed by doctors, speaking with seenior military

officials. and none of that has happened yesterday. so we're looking for the guidance. and what came down last night when they said that the deal is not going to be kicking off on thursday, it won't be happening until friday, that is something that even surprised officials on the ground here. and what it seemed to come down to was a lack of communication between hamas and israel on who would be coming out of gad. which hostages would be on that initial list, really that test run of what the entire hostage deal could look like. and that is something that officials are down playing. they are saying not a big hiccup, that it won't derail the deal. we're still waiting for the more information if the deal expected to start on friday. and of course families are hanging in the balance waiting for news about their loved ones. trying to not get their hopes up even though they are getting closer to an agreement than they

have ever been since they were kidnapped in to gaza. and we spoke with a family member and his brother, sister-in-law and his two nieces were kidnapped from their kibbutz on october 7 and they have heard nothing about them about and this is what he said about the idea that his brother may be separated from his sister-in-law because we know the initial part of the deal is expected to only include women and children. >> it is harder because thinking my brother may not be coming now at all. because my brother was -- my brother was with weapon. and i think that he try on defend his family. and we are not certain about what is happening with him. we're not certain of anything. but with him, it is harder.

>> and so anguish that so many are feeling not knowing who will be released or knowing that their loved one doesn't fit the description of what they have heard about who is initially going to be coming out here. that is something that they are still waiting. what is important here, if this does kick off and that is a big if, and it goes smoothly and according to plan, what israeli officials are hoping is that for every additional ten hostages that hamas is willing to release beyond the initial 50, they say that they are willing to have an additional pause in fighting. that is something that hamas certainly wants here. of course whether or not that happens, it really hinges on what we will hear in just the next few hours on the timing here. >> thank you for the reporting from tel aviv. everyone is just waiting for this thing to finally get started. we'll get back to you soon. and as we wait for those details, israeli doctors and medical professionals are ready to help with the multitude of needs the freed hostages will have both physically and

psychologically. health profession als say that they will face a long recovery. and as the families endure the agonizing wait, emotional support is coming in from those who know the trauma the hostages are experiencing. >> maryann friedman is a holocaust survivor. you see her holding a posternap. she says i know what it feels like to be stashed away and it feels like a second holocaust. joining us now is son of a late holocaust survivor. good to have you with us. you wrote a piece for the hill and we just heard the words there and you wrote my father saw iz z srael as only guarante against a second holocaust. this morning as we see what is happening, how are you feeling about that? >> listen, you know, first of all, happy thanksgiving. this is a holiday of gratitude.

observant and practicing jews begin their day by reciting a number of prayers and one of those, actually either very first one that we say is thank god who gives the heart to the ability to perceive the difference between day and night. and we have all of us the ability for moral action to see the difference between good and evil. and what my father wrote about is this danger of occurring again today. and we have to make a decision on how to respond to that. there is a lot to be afraid about in the united states right now with regards to anti-s anti-semitism, incidents have spiking, students on campus feel threatened, receive threatening note, have to listen to people protesting, globalize the an anti-fadah and they hear that on their campus. it is the same evil that we hear when we see ticky torches and jews will not replace us. so how do we respond? that is our choice and my view

is that i was asked at the synagogue the other day, is this europe in the 1930s, should sensible jews get out now while they can? and my answer is god forbid. we love this country, we came here contribute to it. and my son has not been particularly practicing, he is 18 years orld. when october 7 took place, he put on his head covering and walked out to his school to make a statement. >> you wrote about the story of the just man and the jewish story of the just man. so i want to read part of that. he warned that hatred which begins with anti-semitism inevitably threatens the whole world. and then you wrote, but as with the just man, my father's protests were ignored. speak to that in this moment. >> in 2014, two years before my

father passed, he published an ad which exposed hamas, it basically accused hamas of engaging willingly in child bei sacrifice of being on the wrong side. and my father called on the gazaen people to pick new leaders that would represent islam as it should be, not this horrible twisting of religion that we've seen under hamas' leadership. we've seen what they do. my father was pilloried for this. they said how could you possibly say something like that to accuse someone of child sacrifice. of course a year later when we found out that hamas was firing rockets from schools, in the u.n. reports, it became very clear that what my father had said was right. but i think that we have a generation that grew up after 9/11. this new generation has not seen pure evil and they don't know what to make of it and so they are confused and lives permeate. so we need to be clear eyed and

see what is going on. >> and you speak to the younger generation who hasn't lived through some of that, but people who have heard about it. >> what are some words you feel would give them any comfort in this moment as they are in this agonizing moment, they know what their loved ones are coming back to and what they are dealing with for the rest of their lives? >> what a profoundly difficult moment to have this uncertainty. we as the jewish people receive a lot of instruction from one of our holiest books. the arguing and writing over decades and sequeira rates -- decades of our sages. even they are conflicted about the cease-fire deal.

there is a statement to save one life is to save the world entire. there's also an injunction against effectively paying too much for hostages. we have been at this a long time, 1000 or 1500 years ago, we were writing had to get boss -- hostages back. that tells you how long anti- semitism has been going on, paying too much lest we encourage our enemies. to the families, we are with you and there's an incredible initiative going on called seeds of hope where several -- families celebrating thanksgiving can show solidarity by showing an empty seat with a printout of a hostage to keep that in mind, our hearts and minds are with you in the deepest possible way. >> thank you. >> as we have been telling you, we are waiting on this news conference from qatari officials in regards to the

timing and the positive fighting which would release hostages held by hamas. stay with us.

a picture is given of the 97 inks giving parade taking place right now, a little chilly, frigid temperatures makes it feel a little thanksgiving. >> have you ever gone? >> yes, we used to when my kids were little. our tradition the night before is we would watch them blow up the ba news -- balloons. then we would get pizza, just a word to the wise, it's a little busier. >> my husband was going to take them, he cannot get there because of them blowing up the balloons.

i was like take the subway. new yorkers know that, allison is with us now. a little cold out but i love to see a clear day for the parade. >> it is certainly warmer than it has been in the previous years, it is not snowing. we have the temperatures in the 40s, a little breezy, maybe 5 to 10 miles per hour. nothing that will inhibit the balloons, the key is that the sun is out so it looks nice, you're able to see everything, you don't have rain or snow to contend with, it's a different story on the western half, bringing rain and snow to areas in idaho, nevada, utah. you have winter weather alerts and affect not only today but also carrying into tomorrow. snow begins to spread further east, denver picking up about one to 3 inches of snow. it is also called, you see temperatures drop

significantly, that cold air makes its way east so more places see those temperatures drop, denver topped out yesterday at almost 70 degrees, the high was 68, they are looking at a high tomorrow of only 26 degrees mixed in with a few show -- snow showers as well. >> happy thanksgiving. thank you. >> happy thanksgiving to all of you, we are grateful for you. we will see you tomorrow, cnn news central is next.
