Thursday could be the coldest Thanksgiving day ever

There will be a lot of weather activity over the next few days, including the coldest Thanksgiving ever recorded, the possibility of a little more snow and perhaps a major coastal storm to conclude the weekend. Thanksgiving.

I urge you to stay up to date on the latest forecasts for the next few days, as things can change quickly.

Here's what you can expect from the weather each day during the Thanksgiving holiday week.

On Monday

A weak weather system passes near the coast Monday night and keeps the sky mostly cloudy with cold temperatures. Apart from some light rainfall, all 48 lower ones are mostly dry. It will be a good evening to travel, but the lack of sun means it will be rather dark all day.

Tuesday

A new weather system will cross New England with a strip of snow to the north and a band of rain to the south. The rain-snow line seems to be north of the mass. Pike accounts for most of this system, but later in the afternoon on Tuesday, as the colder air flushes, there could be a brief change of snow in Boston and surrounding areas. I do not expect roads to become a problem in most areas as temperatures will be slightly colder. If you are heading to the New Hampshire border, know that there could be up to three or even four inches of snow. This is the place most likely to cause travel problems, especially in the evening.

The rest of the country looks remarkably calm and this should be good news for those who drive or take other means of transportation before the holidays.

Wednesday

This is a great day of travel in the region, with the exception of some snow flurries in northern New England – and perhaps a rapid snow shower in the south of New -England -, the weather is relatively dry. Temperatures will be cold, averaging about 10 degrees below normal. But the real cold will manifest itself for the next day.

Thursday

A new storm system will move to the west coast and bring rain for Thanksgiving, but the big story for us will be the cold air. We were able to record record temperatures on Thanksgiving Day, and the period between Wednesday night and Friday will be one of the coldest of all time in November. The coldest Thanksgiving month ever recorded was November 28, 1901, when the maximum was 24 degrees. As long as Boston is colder than Thursday at midnight, it is likely that the record will be broken.

Gusts of wind The morning of Thanksgiving will be one digit. Those of you who practice an outdoor activity should be prepared to dress as if it were in the middle of winter. The ground will be frozen.

Friday and Saturday

Temperatures will be cool Friday, reaching only the freezing point. Saturday seems to be a much better day with lots of sunshine and temperatures until the mid-1940s. After the cold of the previous two days, you will feel a heat wave.

Sunday

On Sunday, the day could be dry, but we will be watching the development of a new storm system along the east coast. Depending on when this system is formed and how it follows, we could end up with significant rainfall. As this forecast is still close to a week, there is a lot of uncertainty, but stay tuned for the latest changes if you are traveling because the weather could affect your plans.
