Philadelphia, PA – Residents in the Philadelphia region can expect a breezy and cool start to the Thanksgiving holiday week, with rain and a potential coastal storm in the forecast. This pattern could disrupt outdoor plans and travel as conditions change midweek.
According to the National Weather Service, today through Tuesday will see breezy conditions, with gusts up to 25 mph. Residents are advised to secure outdoor objects to prevent wind damage. Sunday will feature partly sunny skies, with a high near 54 degrees, and similar weather will continue into Monday, with a high near 58 degrees.
The next chance for rain arrives Monday night into Tuesday morning. Forecasters predict light, brief rainfall, with totals under a tenth of an inch. While this rain is unlikely to alleviate the ongoing drought, it could create slick roads during morning commutes.
Thanksgiving Day could bring greater challenges. A coastal storm is possible late Thursday into Friday, with rain chances at 40-50%. The system’s exact path remains uncertain, but it could impact regional travel and outdoor celebrations. Temperatures will hover in the low 40s at night, rising to the upper 40s during the day.
Travelers should monitor updates at weather.gov and plan accordingly. Officials recommend allowing extra time for Thanksgiving commutes, especially if precipitation becomes heavier than expected.
