See historical weather for 11/28 going back 55 years to 1970 in cities across America. (Note: Date varies yearly)
What to Expect on Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving in late November means winter weather has arrived for much of the country. The holiday falls during one of the busiest travel periods, and winter storms can severely impact transportation. Northern states often see sub-freezing temperatures, while southern destinations remain in the 50s-60s.
The Thanksgiving Day Macy's parade in New York City has endured temperatures ranging from the teens to the 60s over its century-long history.
Planning Tips for Thanksgiving
- •Travel plans should include weather buffer days given the high likelihood of November storms
- •Football watch parties outdoors are only comfortable in southern and western cities
- •Check historical snowfall patterns for your route if driving to family gatherings
