Significant Weather Outlook: Monday, November 24, 2025 10 AM
No Major Storms Expected Thanksgiving Week in Southern New England
No weather threat significant enough in southern New England to warrant a blog message is expected for this Thanksgiving week. Rain is likely, however, late Tuesday into early Wednesday with some scattered showers during the day Wednesday. The rain may cause some minor travel impacts across southern New England Tuesday night. Thanksgiving Day looks to become rather blustery behind a cold front with perhaps a few flurries over the Berkshires. Temperatures on Thanksgiving Day will be in the 40s but will feel more like the 30s due to the wind. It will be chilly Friday and Saturday before moderating on Sunday. For more specific weather information from the local National Weather Service office, check weather.gov/box.
For those traveling to or from other parts of the country, there looks to be a series of systems impacting the Pacific Northwest this week with periods of rain in the lower elevations and snow in the higher elevations. A storm may bring significant snowfall to the northern plains and upper Great Lakes Tuesday through Wednesday. There is a risk of lake effect snow squalls across portions of western and central New York on Thanksgiving Day. For the coming weekend, the weather models diverge, but there is a potential weekend storm with snow somewhere across the Great Lakes region and possibly upslope snow over the northern Rockies. Check the National Weather Service national map at weather.gov for updated forecasts as we get closer to the weekend.
Other than perhaps flurries, there’s no significant winter weather threat for southern New England until perhaps toward the end of the first week of December.
Will continue to monitor weather developments for southern New England, and another weekly outlook will be issued next Monday, December 1. Happy Thanksgiving!
