Mother Nature is trying to put a wrench in Thanksgiving traditions like football and other big events, but the expected wet weather is not dampening most spirits. In Taunton, the showdown between the Taunton Tigers and the Milford Scarlet Hawks has been a Thanksgiving tradition going four years strong.

A storm system will sweep over the region Thanksgiving Day, bringing a mix of rain and wind. Some areas even face a chance of snowfall.

The 22News Storm Team issued a Weather Alert for rain and snow Thursday that could make for some tough travel. Snow accumulation is likely in the Berkshires and foothills.
