Philadelphia Thanksgiving forecast: Rain Thursday ahead of frigid weekend

PHILADELPHIA - Expect rain to begin to move into the region in the overnight hours of Thanksgiving Day. Rain could be heavy at times, so if you have an early-morning flight, be sure to check ahead for travel conditions.

Parts of northwestern Pennsylvania and western New York could see snow associated with this system. The Poconos may see a mix of snow and rain. 

About an inch of rain is expected to fall over the course of the morning on Thursday. High temperatures will only reach about 50 degrees. The rain should move out in the late afternoon, just in time for dinner. The Poconos will also see the rain or snow mix moving on out in the late afternoon.

On Friday, the sun returns, but temperatures continue to cool down as we head into what’s shaping up to be a frigid weekend. 

High temperatures on Saturday and Sunday may not make it out of the 30s, with low temperatures in the 20s on both days. 

Heading into next week, temperatures will continue to trend below average with 24 days still left until the start of winter, as of Wednesday.
