Well up here it's all about the rain. and heavy rain from Harrisburg moving into Allentown tonight. into New York City, but by 2 3 a.m. Things start to dry out again. We have to focus on that next storm. It is a strong one nearly 80 mile power gusts. already reported in South Dakota.

Those high wind warnings along I-80 not going to be. easy to travel in Nebraska and look at that. That's a blizzard warning from Aberdeen South. Dakota over from just south of Duluth and the Kiwanopana. in the upper peninsula of Michigan. Very difficult to get around. Minneapolis could get 3 to 6 inches with the snow. there. It'll be blustery too and wind big time wind Chicago over. to Cleveland down to Columbus. I think that could impact airports on Wednesdays. We'll have to watch that carefully by. the time the rain makes it to here again tomorrow afternoon. and evening. It's just a scattered in nature.

So it's not going to be too disruptive. Thursday's blustery and cold all the way down to Atlanta. Certainly in the Northeast and the lake effects snow. machine turns on big time eerie or Syracuse watch for that. Now on Saturday, bet next storm as everybody turns around. they're trying to go home. Chicago could be a problem with snow and on Sunday. The busiest day for everybody to hit the. roads back in the air. That looks wet, especially along. the east coast in the afternoon and evening. So David the earlier you can leave if you are. traveling I 95 on Sunday the better. We just want everyone to have a happy and healthy safe.

Thanksgiving and take your time get home safely. Ginger, thanks again tonight for that. We'll see you on GMA this evening.

But the president also saying he won't meet. with Zelensky until this gets closer. A US official telling ABC News there are some minor. details to be sorted out, but Ukraine has agreed to a peace. deal. A senior source briefed on the matter telling ABC.

News, "There'll no longer be the oppressive strict limits. on the size of the Ukrainian army. But crucial, contentious issues like Ukraine surrendering. even more land to Russia remain unresolved. But even with these tentative signs. of progress, the war hasn't even slowed down.". We were there as Russian missiles targeted Kiev.

I don't know if you heard that. We're now getting intense Russian bombardments of the. capital.

His body just returned by Russia. He said that he was there to defend. the freedom, sovereignty and ancestral lands of innocent.

people. David the White House ruling out an immediate. meeting with President Zelensky even though it was. something the Ukrainians have said they wanted by the. end of the month. Now that's not impossible, but even with. these signs of progress late today, President Trump saying he. will meet with Putin Zelensky, but only when a deal to end. this war is final. David.

He also wants to end hepatitis B vaccinations given at birth. He retired from Congress in 2020. When we come back here tonight, the stunning moment the. family that thought their loved one was dead, she then began. knocking from inside the coffin. Also tonight, remembering an actor from Leave It To. Beaver, also head surveillance showing a house explosion the. blast was felt miles away in the community. Tonight frightening moments for one of. Selena Gomez's family members forced to hide from intruders. breaking in and what she did next.

And later here a member of our own ABC Family what our. reporter learned after he made an offer seven years ago. The email that arrived and tonight. what doctors now convinced he can do and so he did it in. a moment here. Tonight a home explosion rocking an entire. community a surveillance camera capturing the gas explosion. Destroyed a home. This is an elbow-cooking New Mexico the. blast knocking out power to the entire neighborhood. One person was rushed to the hospital. in serious condition a home next door was badly damaged.

Tonight that stunning headline coming in from Thailand a woman. found alive inside a coffin that was going to be sent for. cremation. The 65 year old woman's brother saying she had. been bedridden for two years the family thought she had. died when she appeared to stop breathing. Staff at a temple then heard knocking opening. the coffin to find her alive. Tonight she's now being treated at the hospital. When we come back here the scare for. a member of Selena Gomez's family and we remember a. former child actor from Leave It To Beaver in a moment.

To the index of other news tonight is scare for Selena. Gomez's mother-in-law during a home invasion. Masked intruders breaking in, police say Gomez's. mother-in-law, Sandra Levin, was at home in. Studio City, California. Two men in masks breaking in. She barricaded herself upstairs and was. able to call 911. The men fled before police arrived. Levin was not hurt. We do the passing to note tonight. John Iman, a child actor in the 1950s. and 60s, has died, best known for playing a classmate of. Jerry Mathers character on Leave It to Beaver. He later became a singer, songwriter.

and guitarist. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer in. September. John Iman was 76. When we come back tonight, what one of our reporters. learned, he had made an offer to help seven years ago, then. an email recently arrived. What doctors are convinced he's now able to do in a moment. Funny tonight here, America's strong. What are reporters to do? After a Trevor all learned, after an offer he made. to donate some seven years ago, well recently an email, the. National Marrow Donor Program telling him he's a match, able.

to help someone he's never met halfway around the world. After our own Robin Roberts documented. her journey in 2012, undergoing a stem cell transplant thanks. to her sister. I think that I was a good time to say go. Sally go. Robbins advocacy has inspired more than 38,000 people. to swab their cheeks and sign up. Okay, so just got into the car headed to a blood center, including me. What used to be the match?

Now the National Marodona program. I signed up with them I think almost seven. years ago. I remember swabbing my cheek and sending it in. A few months ago I got an email telling me I was a. match. What they've told me is that I'm a match for. a middle-aged man on the other side of the world. who has bone cancer. Maybe I could potentially come in and provide a little. help. After passing a few screenings it was go time.

First a nurse gave me five days of. injections to supercharge my body stem cell production. and then I was off to Seattle with my caregiver, my girlfriend. Grace, to go to their blood center where every year hundreds. of volunteers come to donate. So we're all set up here. This machine is taking the blood out of my right arm. here and somewhere in there is separately the stem cells. For me, the entire process was relatively pain free. It takes the average donor 4-6.

hours. I was done in less than 3. There is still an urgent need for young, healthy and. willing donors. But there's also promising new research. on the horizon for unrelated partially matched donors to. increase access and outcomes. This email out of the blue is a pleasant surprise because. we could get to do something pretty cool here I think. No question about that. Good for you Trevor. The National Maraudoner Program to help. go to nmdp.org.

That's a Thanksgiving gift. Good night. David Mure, the most watched newscast in America. And now, ABC's World News Tonight has won the. Emmy for Best Live News Program for the third year in a row. [MUSIC].
