It will be an unusually quiet weather pattern in the Eastern United States during Thanksgiving week. That’s great news for travelers, and the weather should be nice for Thanksgiving day high school football games throughout New England.
A storm off the East Coast late in the weekend and early next week will not be a big bother. A few showers are possible on Cape Cod and the islands Sunday into Monday. It will bring in some cooler air, and highs will only be in the low to mid 40s with a north-northeast breeze early in the week.
High pressure will settle overhead in the midweek, and Wednesday will be a clear and pleasantly cool day. Highs will be in the mid to upper 40s. It will likely get a bit warmer on Thanksgiving, with highs near 50. Black Friday looks dry and relatively mild. Highs will be well into the 50s.
Looking ahead to next weekend, a weakening cold front may bring rain showers Saturday night into Sunday, but it does not look like a soaking rain. The weekend will begin with mild weather before turning cooler on Sunday.
We are watching the pattern closely during the first few days of December. There are signs that conditions may be ripe for a storm near the New England coast, and at this time of the year precipitation type can be an issue. We’re not saying there’s a snow storm ahead for early December, but there may be a storm that brings some wintry weather our way. Overall, the pattern does not look terribly cold early next month.
