Possible Thanksgiving storms, heavy winds could impact travel and Macy’s parade

New York’s Staten Island. Turkey Day is almost approaching, but with it comes the possibility of unpleasant weather.

As Macy’s gets ready for its annual Thanksgiving Day Parade, AccuWeather’s website is alerting users to the possibility of holiday travel difficulties due to [an] devastating storm later this week.

According to a published AccuWeather forecast, any persistent winds of more than 23 mph [miles per hour] or gusts of up to 34 mph would create dangerous conditions for places like New York City or Philadelphia that conduct massive parades with balloons.

If the storm’s core moves far enough north into the corridor of cold air, we might even see a snowstorm.

However, we start the holiday week with partly sunny skies and a high of 53 degrees before we reach Thanksgiving’s potentially problematic weather. With rains moving through the area, Tuesday will be slightly warmer, just reaching 60 degrees.

Unfortunately, by the time the weekend arrives, that 60-degree day will be a pleasant memory.

Before the nighttime changes everything, Wednesday will see a decrease of over 10 degrees to a high of 51 degrees, followed by sun and clouds.

According to AccuWeather’s website, Thanksgiving is expected to be rainy with a 94% probability of precipitation and temperatures that rarely rise above 50 degrees.

Black Friday sees a low of 35 degrees and a high of 46 degrees as the chill sets in. Wait till Saturday and Sunday if that doesn’t inspire you to pull out your winter coat and hat.

After a day of sunshine and a few floaty clouds, Saturday will start out in the mid-40s but end up dropping to 33 degrees at night. However, it won’t get over 40 degrees on Sunday. Temperatures will drop to below freezing at 28 degrees, with a high of 38 degrees.
