The Old Farmer’s Almanac long-range weather outlook for November provides a breakdown of weather conditions expected across the U.S. in the coming month.
Millions of Americans are expected to travel for Thanksgiving on November 26, but potentially disruptive weather could complicate journeys in some parts of the country, according to the forecast.
"Overall, of most concern will be a snowstorm that we are forecasting to occur in the northern part of the Atlantic Corridor, with snow extending into the Northeast, in the days following the Thanksgiving holiday," Heidi Stonehill, executive editor at The Old Farmer’s Almanac, told Newsweek. "Also, there may be heavy rain at times in the Pacific Northwest over Thanksgiving week."
