The experts at the Farmer’s Almanac have released their Thanksgiving Day and November weather forecasts. Looking at trends across the country, the Farmer’s Almanac says that for temperature, they’re predicting a “warm November overall from the Great Lakes over to much of the East Coast,” as well as near to above normal temperatures “from the Upper Midwest through much of the central and northern Plains.” The really warm areas of the country will be from Oregon down to California with “warmer than normal” conditions, as well as a warmer November for Alaska. The chillier areas of the country will be along the gulf coast and from the Rockies towards Washington State, as well as, get this, Hawaii. Of course, “cooler” for Hawaii is probably not very cold.
As for Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey, the Farmer’s Almanac states that for the month of November, from the Midwest to the East Coast, “There should be a fair amount of sunshine from the Upper Midwest over to most of the East Coast. Travel weather should generally be pretty good in the days leading up to festivities with fairly mild or cool (but not frigid) conditions.” They add, “That’s certainly good news for airline hubs such as Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Detroit, and Charlotte.”
For Thanksgiving Day, they warn, “Storm hugs Atlantic Coast, increasing wind, copious precipitation.”
Now, we still have a ways to go until Thanksgiving, so time will tell how this forecast stands up. In fact, Dr. Michael Riemer, a meteorologist at the JGU Institute of Atmospheric Physics, tells Newswise that, “Research has repeatedly reached the same conclusions: We can predict the weather up to 14 days in advance at best.” Newswise adds that, “Unlike the tides and the orbit of planets, the atmospheric system has an intrinsic limit that represents a natural and ultimate boundary beyond which prediction is no longer possible.”
