challenge. near whiteout conditions in colorado causing this semi truck crash, backing up traffic for hours and the effects of this week's storms aren't over yet, especially in the northeast where it will be raining on the macy's parade. >> this storm is a game changer. it unlocks cold air and the lakes are warmer than normal, so big lake effect snows from friday into monday. we could see feet of snow across parts of upstate and western new york. it's going to be cold into early december. >> thankfully, the wind is not expected to be an issue for the new york and philadelphia thanksgiving day parades. we'll take you to both the parade routes in just a few moments. >> president elect trump says he spoke by phone with mexico's president, claudia sheinbaum, after threatening her country with sweeping tariffs. trump says it was a positive conversation and he claims sheinbaum agreed to immediately stop migration through mexico into the u.s, but sheinbaum later posted, mexico's position is not to close borders, but to build bridges between governments and people. >> the fbi is investigating a

thrilled to be spending my thanksgiving morning with all of you. all right, so here we are on the parade route, jfk boulevard, where in just a few hours from right now, all 16 of these floats, you can see one very special float behind me are going to start off at 9 a.m, making the 1.4 mile trek to the philadelphia art museum. you know, the rocky steps. that's where the big parade wraps up a little bit later this morning. santa claus is the guest of honor, of course. so we're talking 16 floats, 14 balloons, 3000 dancers, performers and marchers. and there can only be one six abc dunkin philadelphia parade celebrating its 105th year. by the way, this year, this is the oldest thanksgiving day parade in the country. and you can imagine things probably looked a little bit different back in 1920 when the parade first started. it was started by gimbels to sort of kick off the christmas shopping season. and in that very first year, back in 1920, there were only 15 cars and 55 zero employees. and that was the entire parade and santa claus as well. santa also used to scale a fire truck ladder. he

would go up 100ft into the toyland window of gimbels department store. that was a big draw for all the crowds back in the 1920s. there were many celebrities over the years. marilyn monroe, president eisenhower, just to name a few. and this year we've got some some celebrities that we're looking forward to welcoming as well. lisa ann walter from abbott elementary, darlene love will be singing andrea bocelli, son matteo bocelli. he'll be singing here this year as well. so performances from mj, the musical, from elf the musical and the grinch is going to be here and it's starting to rain. just a little bit. but, you know, as andrea pointed out to me not too long ago when i was starting to worry about the rain, nobody can rain on my parade this morning. >> that is a good way to see it. well, also, you are in front of a massive float. pickup trucks are hauling them. but you're saying that was not always the case? >> no. yeah. so there are big, big pickup trucks that will haul these floats this year. but once

upon a time it was a team of real life reindeer that were pulling santa's sleigh through the streets of philadelphia. that only happened once. i think people realized maybe the reindeer had it better when they were just chilling in the north pole, and for their sake, i think that's probably the right call. >> better in the north pole. >> all right. well, thank you so much for all of that. happy thanksgiving to you. and we'll be streaming the parade on disney plus, hulu and abc news live beginning at 9 a.m. >> yeah, well thank you. time now for your holiday weather forecast. >> good morning and happy thanksgiving to you. we've got some soaking rain. those of you heading out to the parades make sure you're ready for this. you got to keep those feet dry and your body dry as well with soaking rain up and down i-95 all morning long. the snow is going to be falling across the far interior as well, with some scattered storms in the southeast. this storm system is going to race up the coast fairly swiftly. 1 to 3in of snow are likely in areas like northern ohio. some areas into the high ground like the green,

the white mountains and the catskills could see 6 to 12in of snow. there will be some scattered thunderstorms in the southeast on this thanksgiving. a few gusty storms. a small chance of an isolated tornado will be much colder into the plains. drier in the west. not a bad thanksgiving in the south. for accuweather. i'm jeff cornish for abc news. >> coming up, a major cocaine bust. the law enforcement official under arrest. >> also ahead, the amazon workers planning to go on strike on black friday and a new legal setback for

starts with gma. >> take it from an eagle. >> this is going to be the best thanksgiving parade ever. >> navy sailors celebrated thanksgiving early while crossing the pacific ocean. the crew of the uss tripoli marked the holiday with lots of food, desserts and a birthday cake marking the marines 249th birthday. this month, top police

officials in the bahamas are among 13 people charged in a plot to smuggle cocaine into the united states. >> they're accused of accepting bribes up to $2 million to get drugs from the bahamas into the u.s. the suspects include a chief police superintendent from black friday to cyber monday. >> this is the week to get some deals, but deliveries from amazon could be delayed by a worker strike. tis the season to start shopping, but an international workers strike could mean delivery delays for amazon customers and workers in 20 countries, including the u.s, are set to walk out as part of the make amazon pay campaign, an annual effort now in its fifth year that aims to convince the company to increase wages and allow workers to unionize. >> amazon squeezes everything that it can get, but it changes its behavior depending on jurisdiction. let's say in sweden, it engages much better in how it operates with trade unions than in the us, where it

engages in in union busting. >> the work stoppage is set to begin tomorrow on black friday and on cyber monday, aiming to snarl the supply chain for cyber shoppers during two of the biggest days of the year. last year, amazon made up nearly 18% of all black friday sales worldwide and raked in more than $170 billion during the holiday season. the organizers of the campaign, uni global union, claim the company's practices come at a cost to workers. the environment and democracy. an amazon spokesperson responding, saying while we're always listening and looking at ways to improve, we remain proud of the competitive pay, comprehensive benefits and engaging, safe work experience. we provide our teams. amazon posted record high sales for black friday last year. despite the work stoppage threat. >> coming up, one of the best hole in one we've ever seen. >> but first, a new law in the >> but first, a new law in the battle over transgender
