New York, NY — Rain is set to make Thanksgiving Day travel challenging across the region, with showers beginning late tonight and continuing through Thursday. Those traveling to holiday gatherings should prepare for delays and slippery road conditions.
According to the National Weather Service, rain will begin after midnight and intensify throughout the morning on Thanksgiving. Drivers should expect reduced visibility and potential ponding on roads, especially along heavily traveled highways such as I-95 and the Long Island Expressway. With temperatures ranging from the upper 30s to mid-50s, no snow is expected, but wet pavement will demand caution.
By Thursday evening, rain will taper off as a cold front moves in, bringing nighttime lows in the mid-30s. Friday promises mostly sunny skies with highs in the mid-40s, offering more favorable conditions for post-holiday travel. However, gusty winds of up to 10 mph could still affect high-profile vehicles.
Looking ahead, the weekend will bring partly sunny skies and temperatures hovering around 40 degrees. Saturday will be clear but chilly, with lows dropping to around 30 degrees overnight. Sunday could see an increase in clouds but no significant precipitation.
Residents and travelers are urged to stay updated on road conditions and allow extra travel time. Public transit users should also check for potential service delays due to weather.
