Discussion

November has been a colder-than-normal month so far in the NYC metro region (-1.9 degrees) and it could feature one of the coldest Thanksgiving Days ever for this region. An Arctic blast will arrive at mid-week and there is the potential that high temperatures on Thursday (Turkey Day) do not even make it out of the 20’s – some 25 degrees or so below-normal for this time of year. New York City has only had three Thanksgivings dating to 1870 when the high temperature failed to rise out of the 20s, according to National Weather Service statistics with the coldest featuring a high of 26 degrees on Nov. 28, 1901. The Arctic cold air mass will begin to lift out by the early part of the weekend and we may have to deal with a storm system near the east coast.
