Thanksgiving Holiday Travel Nov. 14 27: Rain or Snow in New York? The return of rain comes as Southern New York moves closer to the Thanksgiving holiday travel season, when changing temperatures and precipitation can affect driving conditions.
Thanksgiving falls Thursday, Nov. 26, but the current National Weather Service forecast for Binghamton only extends through Friday, Nov. 6.
That means the available forecast does not yet establish whether rain, snow or dry conditions will dominate the Nov. 14 27 holiday period.
Although November can bring colder weather and snowfall to the Southern Tier, particularly at higher elevations, seasonal possibilities should not be confused with a specific storm forecast.
No snowfall amounts, winter weather alerts or Thanksgiving travel disruptions are identified in the supplied forecast.
For now, the immediate precipitation concern is rain, with daytime temperatures remaining in the 60s through Friday.
