Thanksgiving Weather: Rain, Wind, and Chilly Vibes Ahead

Get ready for a mix of weather if you're traveling for Thanksgiving this week. Rain is on the way, but don't worry, it won't be too crazy. The days leading up to the holiday will be wet and warm, with temperatures around 60 degrees. But by Wednesday night, things will change. A cold front is coming, bringing cooler air and drying things up. Thanksgiving Day itself will be breezy and chilly. Expect highs in the 40s and wind chills in the 30s. The wind might gust up to 30 mph, which could affect the Thanksgiving Day parade in Philadelphia. The last time the parade's balloons were grounded due to wind was in 2019, when gusts hit 50 mph. Before that, it was 1997. The weekend will feel like winter. Morning lows will be in the upper 20s, which is colder than usual for this time of year. Highs will only reach the low to mid-40s. There might be some rain on Sunday, but it's not a sure thing. So, if you're heading out for Thanksgiving, pack layers. You'll need them. The weather won't be extreme, but it will be changeable. Stay flexible and keep an eye on the forecast.
