The Old Farmer’s Almanac has issued its forecast for Thanksgiving weather across the country, calling for a patchwork of sunshine, rain and snow. The publication’s prediction suggests parts of the Northeast, Atlantic Corridor, Appalachians, Lower Lakes, Upper Midwest and Alaska could see snow during Thanksgiving week. As a long-range forecast, the Almanac focuses on broader weather patterns rather than predicting specific, hour-by-hour conditions.
Below is a regional overview of what weather conditions are likely during Thanksgiving week, according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac: The Northeast, which includes the cities of Albany, New York; Augusta, Maine; Burlington, Vermont; Caribou, Maine; and Concord, New Hampshire, could see rain with the possibility of snow around the holiday. While it calls for mild temperatures on Thanksgiving itself, the window before and after the holiday could see chillier conditions. The publication calls for rain on Thanksgiving with mild temperatures.
Cooling temperatures over the weekend could bring snow to northern portion of the region. Cities included in the Atlantic Corridor are Boston; Providence, Rhode Island; Hartford, Connecticut; New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, D.C. The Appalachians are forecast to see snow showers in the north and rain in the south.
However, warmer temperatures and sunshine could appear on Thanksgiving. Over the weekend, the almanac says snow could return to the north as temperatures cool. The Southeast, including Atlanta; Columbia, South Carolina; Raleigh, North Carolina; and Savannah, Georgia, is expected to see warm temperatures and showers for Thanksgiving, though the weekend could see sunshine but slightly colder temperatures.
Showers could follow sunshine on Thanksgiving, with “pleasant” temperatures, according to the almanac, which added that the weekend could feature a return to sunny skies but cooler conditions. Thanksgiving week will bring a chance for rain and snow, with cool temperatures. The region includes Syracuse, Rochester, and Buffalo in New York as well as Cleveland, Detroit, Indianapolis, Chicago and Milwaukee.
The Ohio valley could see scattered showers before sunnier skies arrive for Thanksgiving, alongside cooling temperatures.
