Your usual Thanksgiving Day weather

Alabama, we generally are in the low 60's upper 50's. Nice weather.

When having Thanksgiving at my parents, we'd rake leaves and let the little ones play in the leaves.

In high school, one year, attending high school football playoffs, it was hot Thanksgiving Day and the next day it snowed. Weird.

    In the past it was normal to have a snow or ice storm sometime during this holiday weekend. Right now it is forecast to be in the 50s and sunny but then the snow and sleet that I saw today was not forecast.

    We’ve had the gamut over the decades, from skating on the frozen lake (which means it’s been really cold for a good week or more) to walking after the feast with just a sweater.

    Ah yes.

    Alabama:

    Where we wear a jacket and flip flops in the same outfit and neither is wrong.

    I am used to Thanksgiving being in the mid 70s to low 80s.

    We don't have a "usual". Some years there's a foot of snow on the ground, others it's sunny and shirt sleeve weather. This year the forecast is for rain and temps in the 40's.

    We are also in the low to mid 60s by day and in the mid forties in the middle the night.

    Thanksgiving Day this year will be in those temps and sunny according to the forecast.

    Ha-ha!

    I did the same through the first week of November this year. I am still seeing younger people wearing shorts.

    Anywhere from shirt-sleeve weather to several inches of snow. This year,

    it's supposed to be in the 50's and no rain or snow. But, today it is in the 30s

    and blowing snow turning to rain. We are in the "if you don't like the

    weather, wait a minute and we'll get you something different" area.

    The weather for the turkey is always very hot. For the humans it is usually in the 40s or 50s here on turkey day.

    Usual T'Day weather here is chilly, grey and wet...........November tends to be our rainiest month of the year. Forecast is for not much, if any, rain this year, but chilly and grey it will be!

    But it can be pretty blustery as well as that rain is usually triggered by Pacific storms moving on land. There have been any number of Thanksgiving dinners I can recall that have been disrupted by power outages.

    LoneJack, great comment!

    This year, rain and high 40s predicted.

    Chicagoland can be nice, but is more likely grey skies, and sometimes snow -- just a few flakes, like today, or an unpredicted blizzard. I remember guests deciding to stay overnight in the fifties rather than creep and crawl thirty miles to their homes.

    Usually have a white Thanksgiving. This year it will be in the mid 50s and maybe rain.
