Philadelphia weekend weather: Windy, chilly weekend ahead of busy travel week

PHILADELPHIA - Now that snow chances have wound down, if you are heading out over the weekend for the Thanksgiving holiday, Saturday may see a lingering snow flurry in the Poconos, while further to the east in New York City, just mainly cloudy skies, and shower activity in Boston.

Further south, expect temps to be near or around 60 from DC through Raleigh, North Carolina.

The main feature this weekend in the region will be the wind, gusting to near tropical storm force Saturday, while Sunday will see gusts closer to the 15 to 25 mph range. Temps will be in the low to mid 50s, but the wind will definitely make it feel chillier.

Some showers could return for Tuesday, in case you’re heading out of town then, while we could see rain and highs only in the mid-40s for Thanksgiving Day.

Thanksgiving travel

AAA expects 80M people to travel this Thanksgiving, including 71M who will hit the road, which outpaces even pre-pandemic levels of Thanksgiving travelers.
