Thanksgiving Day Forecast Outlook
A front is forecast to make its way across the deep south on Thanksgiving. Florida will see dry skies on Thanksgiving but a few lingering showers are possible on Black Friday
Thanksgiving is a week away and people will be traveling near and far to visit family and friends. You may be wondering what the weather will be like.
Forecast models are hinting at weather moving across the country for travelers early next week, through Thanksgiving Day. What does that mean for where you are heading?
Central Florida Thanksgiving forecast
If you are traveling to central Florida this weekend, the weather looks great! Dry skies with temperatures in the upper-70s. We are monitoring a cold front that will be making its way across the South next week.
The latest forecast models are in disagreement on the exact timing, but what they both have in common is dry weather for Thanksgiving Day! One model shows the rain arriving on Tuesday and the other has it arriving on Wednesday. Severe weather looks unlikely at this time.
As always, the models continue to update and we will bring you the latest updates.
Temperatures remain warm (above seasonal) to start your Thanksgiving week in central Florida. Highs will likely range in the upper-70s to low-80s through Tuesday. Thanksgiving Day will feature highs near 70 degrees.
That means if you wanted to have Thanksgiving dinner outside, as of now, you should be good to go.
Western U.S. Thanksgiving forecast
A storm system will be moving into California and the Pacific Northwest on Sunday/ Monday with heavy rain and mountain snow.
If it holds and moves south over the Rockies, we could see issues on roads. Thanksgiving Day could feature mountain snow in the northern tier, elsewhere looks to remain dry.
Southwestern U.S. Thanksgiving forecast
The weather looks great during Thanksgiving week across the southwest. Rain chances look very unlikely. Temperature throughout the week will be above normal for this time of year.
Midwest Thanksgiving forecast

The system will move to the east by Thanksgiving Day. A blast of cooler air will also arrive next week, temperatures are set to be at or below normal.
Northeast Thanksgiving forecast
The northeast looks to have wet weather for travelers on Tuesday and Wednesday as a system makes its way toward the Atlantic.
