New York’s Staten Island. According to the most recent Thanksgiving weather forecast, there may be a storm coming to New York City.
All eyes are on the weather and the accompanying traffic conditions, as the AAA estimates that over 80 million travelers will drive 50 miles or more this holiday.
According to an early forecast by AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Bill Deger, people in the New York City area should brace themselves for the prospect of wet weather, even though conditions will differ across the nation.
According to Deger, we’re monitoring a possible storm that might pass through Wednesday and Thursday. That’s obviously bad news for travelers, but it’s not official yet. Regarding that storm, we’re keeping an eye on a few potential scenarios. It might turn out to be dry for a few days before Thanksgiving, or it might be heading up the East Coast.
The odds of heavy rain and winds
With one of its own, the National Weather Service confirmed the prediction. From November 27 to November 29, there is a slight danger (20% to 40%) of heavy precipitation from the Lower Mississippi Valley to the Northeast Corridor, which includes New York City, according to the outlook.
The weather service also predicts a slight risk (20% to 40%) of high winds over much of the east, including all of New York, over the same time period.
With this possible system, New York City is not anticipated to have any winter precipitation. But according to the weather service, there is a 20% to 40% chance of significant snowfall in a large portion of upstate New York between November 27 and December 3.
Thankfully, the holiday is predicted to bring seasonable temps, if not possibly warmer ones than normal. According to Deger, highs are predicted to be in the 50s.
If you have the time, I would advise folks to take a vacation on Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday to avoid any possible storms, since the likelihood of rain does increase on Wednesday and Thanksgiving, he said.
