A second storm is projected to take a similar route to its predecessor, starting from the Southwest and moving eastward. This system is expected to bring rain to the southern Plains on Sunday and Monday, before advancing into parts of the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeast early next week. Following this storm, a significant drop in temperatures is anticipated, pushing many areas in the northern United States and the Midwest below average just in time for Thanksgiving.
In the Northeast, residents can expect relatively favorable conditions for the upcoming weekend. Meteorologist Mr. Kleebauer noted that it appears to be a pleasant stretch, with mostly dry and calm weather expected. While a storm system moving through Canada may slightly impact northern New England, bringing the possibility of a few rain or snow showers, it should not cause significant disruptions.
Conversely, the Mid-Atlantic region may experience some rain, which could extend into southern New York State and southern New England, possibly including New York City at the beginning of the weekend. However, Mr. Kleebauer reassured that substantial rainfall is unlikely.
As Thanksgiving approaches, this combination of weather patterns promises conditions that, while bringing some rain and dropping temperatures, won’t overshadow plans for the holidays. The near-term forecast suggests that many can enjoy a relatively mild start to the weekend, especially as they look forward to events like the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Overall, despite the storms on the horizon, there is potential for pleasant holiday experiences as families gather to celebrate.
