Thanksgiving Storm – Boston News, Weather, Sports

Today’s rain is easing, leaving wet roads on the way home and for everyone out and about during this busy bank holiday week. Wet road and noise are not a good mix, luckily we are drying the track and we will have a much better day for commuters tomorrow. Tomorrow will be a cooler day with temperatures around 40 degrees and a light breeze, but at least we’ll be dry.

Things will look different on Thursday (Thanksgiving) as another, larger storm approaches the Northeast. It will be cold rain for most of us in southern New England, but we will feel the effects of travel no matter where you go on Thursday, some destinations are worse than others. Locally temperatures will be around 40°C and there will be cold rain for most of us, although higher elevations will see a mix of rain and snow.

In addition to affecting New England, this storm will bring wet weather to several major airports from Boston to New York to Philadelphia to Washington DC on Thanksgiving Day

Driving into northern New England will be the trouble spot this year as snow accumulates there due to our cold rain. In the Worcester Hills you might end up with a muddy layer or something, but it’s northern New England that’s several inches away from that. If you have some travel flexibility, it may make sense to leave on Wednesday evening.

Cold air flows behind this storm. The coldest of the season. Highs for the weekend and early next week will struggle to reach the 40° mark. Luckily, the cold air mass is a dry air mass, so travelers won’t have to worry about more storms once we get past Thanksgiving.
