Can I make the pie today for Thanksgiving?

Thanksgiving newbie here.
If I make it today, how do I cover it up? Aluminum, saran wrap, loose kitchen towel?

Thanks.

I'd wait until tomorrow, especially since it's so damp. It will just get soggy.

At least for pumpkin pie (the only one I have lots of experience with), I would wait for tomorrow if possible. Pumpkin pie is best made the day before so the flavors have time to mingle. I always make mine on Wednesday afternoon, let it cool to room temp on the counter, then wrap in foil and put in the fridge. Then I take it out 1-2 hours before serving. We like our pie firm and slightly cold, though tastes will vary.

If you have to make it today, it's not a problem. Just follow the same routine. It will still be good.
