While the rest of the country has to contend with an arctic blast, California weather is expected to dry out and warm up over the Thanksgiving holiday

Thanksgiving morning will begin with chilly, foggy conditions that will eventually clear up for a sunny holiday with clear skies. Thursday is the annual Run to Feed the Hungry, a massive Sacramento tradition that draws tens of thousands of people.

This Thanksgiving week could see record travel numbers according to federal leaders. The Transportation Department says it's coordinating with federal agencies and airlines to try to ensure the holiday season goes smoothly despite the uptick in travelers.
