Rain could make Thanksgiving travel in New Jersey more difficult, particularly on Wednesday evening and Thanksgiving Day. Morning showers have already arrived due to today’s weather, and by late morning, the rain is subsiding.
It is predicted that temperatures will peak close to 60 degrees Fahrenheit and that gusty winds from the south will change to the west, with gusts as high as 25 miles per hour. Less than a tenth of an inch of rain is predicted, which will provide some respite for the remainder of the day.
There will be a major cooling tonight, with lows of about 33 F and largely clear skies. Winds from the west will slow down a little, reaching 5 to 10 mph. Conditions should continue to improve by Wednesday, with highs close to 52 F—a very normal temperature for late November in New Jersey—and largely sunny skies.
On Thursday, however, a calm day gives way to a rainier night, with rain probable after 4 a.m. Anticipate largely overcast sky, lows of about 39 degrees Fahrenheit, and calm winds that will eventually turn into light easterlies. During this time, rainfall totals could be anything from a tenth to a quarter of an inch.
Rain is predicted to dominate Thanksgiving Day itself, with the precipitation subsiding by late afternoon. During the day, temperatures will be close to 53 degrees Fahrenheit, which is typical for the season.
In the afternoon, winds will shift from an easterly direction to a westerly one at 5 to 10 mph. Significant rainfall is possible, with fresh totals ranging from half to three-quarters of an inch. The likelihood of rain decreases significantly by Thursday evening, with overnight lows returning to 33 degrees Fahrenheit and the possibility of lingering showers before 7 p.m. Less than a tenth of an inch of rain is predicted throughout this period.
Even while there could not be any significant rainfall due to these conditions, the timing of the rain, particularly on Wednesday night and Thursday morning when traffic is at its worst, might cause delays on the roads and at airports. Travelers should prepare for rainy weather, poor visibility, and possible delays, especially on Thanksgiving morning when the rain is at its worst.
