Thanksgiving Week Forecast: Calm conditions Wednesday, ahead of rain, snow Thursday

PHILADELPHIA - After a historic dry spell plagued the Philadelphia area over the last few weeks, more rain returns to the area this week.

Tuesday's showers are gone and, just in time for traveling, expect Wednesday to be sunny and dry with high temperatures in the low 50s. 

Thanksgiving Day will bring a new round of rain, and it's expected to move into the area early Thursday morning. The rain could be heavy at times, so be aware of that if you are heading out on an early morning flight. It should begin to wrap up off the shore by the time you are sitting down to the feast.

The Philadelphia area will only see rain Thanksgiving, but parts of the Poconos and into the Lehigh Valley are expected to see snow. If you are traveling to upstate New York, be aware of changing conditions, due to snow. It will begin to taper into snow showers and pull away by about 3 p.m.

Thursday’s high temperatures may not break 50 degrees, while Friday will be sunny and slightly cooler, before an even bigger drop in temps arrives Saturday and Sunday, when high temperatures won't make it out of the 30s.
