Thanksgiving weather forecast 2025

The United States will experience a patchwork of weather during Thanksgiving week 2025, with rainy conditions in the West and sunshine in much of the East. However, northern locations like Alaska, the Upper Midwest, the higher elevations of the Intermountain West, and northern New England are expected to experience snow, as per The Old Farmer’s Almanac.

According to the Almanac, with heavier rainfall in the southern Pacific Northwest and showers in California and Nevada, the West Coast will have the wettest conditions. And while the Desert Southwest and southern Texas may experience isolated showers, the Ohio Valley and Heartland will see brief rain later in the week.

As per the predictions, temperatures will also differ greatly. While “cooler-than-normal” weather is anticipated in New England, the High Plains, and a large portion of the Western United States, the warmest air will remain over Texas, the Desert Southwest, and the Deep South.
