Is It Going To Snow In NYC On Thanksgiving?
Though it’s crazy to think about it, Thanksgiving is right around the corner. And with everything we have to plan, like what to cook (or where to go out for Thanksgiving dinner) and what days we should avoid traveling, we’re making an effort to get ahead of things so we’re not scrambling around the last minute.
And part of making your planning easier is knowing what the weather is going to be like!
Here’s the 2024 NYC Thanksgiving forecast:
According to the Almanac, New York temperatures will fall in the “varying” category, i.e. temperatures will alternate between cool and mild. The Almanac writes:
There should be a fair amount of sunshine from the Upper Midwest over to most of the East Coast. Travel weather should generally be pretty good in the days leading up to festivities with fairly mild or cool (but not frigid) conditions. That’s certainly good news for airline hubs such as Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Detroit, and Charlotte.
However, NYC has been facing near-record heat with the driest fall in over 100 years, so we have a pretty good feeling the city’s temperatures will veer more towards the milder side…aka no snow–the last time NYC saw a white Thanksgiving was in 1989, breaking records as the first Thanksgiving Day snowstorm since 1938!
(P.S. here’s when you can expect the first snow of the season in NYC)
And the NOAA’s Three-Month Outlook for November to January is confirming this, showing that NYC is forecast to continue its trend of temperatures leaning above average with equal chances in regards to precipitation. The Almanac adds that it’s “expecting a warm November overall from the Great Lakes over to much of the East Coast” as well.
Of course there’s still some time for the forecast to change, but as of now it looks like we’ll have beautiful weather for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade! And while we await it, check out these iconic vintage photos of the parade dating back to the ’70s!
