URGENT UPDATE: The Old Farmer’s Almanac has just announced its snow predictions for Thanksgiving 2025, falling on Thursday, November 27. This forecast has immediate implications for holiday travel and celebrations across the U.S.
According to the Almanac, Thanksgiving week will bring a diverse range of weather conditions nationwide. Travelers should prepare for a mix of sunshine in the East and rainy conditions in the West. Notably, snow is expected in select northern regions, including Northern New England, the Upper Midwest, and higher elevations in the Intermountain West and Alaska. These flurries could significantly impact travel plans, potentially leading to slick road conditions and reduced visibility.
In the Pacific Northwest, heavier rainfall is anticipated, while California and Nevada may experience “steady showers.” Isolated precipitation could also affect the Desert Southwest and southern Texas, with brief rain expected in the Ohio Valley and Heartland later in the week.
The Almanac warns, “Bundle up—it’s colder than average.” While Northern New England might see some snowflakes, southern regions can expect a crisp and sunny Thanksgiving. For those in Florida, the forecast predicts plenty of sun with no rain in sight, creating ideal conditions for outdoor meals and beach strolls along I-95.
Travelers in the Upper Midwest should remain cautious, as occasional snow flurries could create challenges on the roads. However, overall conditions appear favorable for those deep-frying turkeys outdoors or traveling to visit family, with clear skies predicted across the region.
The Old Farmer’s Almanac emphasizes that while temperatures may be mild, occasional winter weather could disrupt plans. The forecast for Thanksgiving week 2025 is shaping up to be a “warm week overall” for many, but travelers should remain vigilant and prepared for changing weather patterns.
As families begin planning their Thanksgiving gatherings, this weather forecast is crucial for ensuring safe travels and enjoyable celebrations. Stay tuned for further updates as we approach the holiday.
