Florida Thanksgiving Day Forecast Calls for ‘Copious Precipitation’
If you’re planning a Thanksgiving drive, you’re going to want to know the Florida Thanksgiving Day forecast, from experts, to find out what kind of conditions will likely be out there. Yes, Turkey Day is on the way, and people often plan way ahead when it comes to Thanksgiving travel plans. The holiday is a big time for traveling on the road, because some people take bigger trips that involve flying for Christmas, instead. In fact, last year, AAA stated that most Americans (89%) travel by car. In comparison, 8.5% travel by plane for the holiday.
Florida Thanksgiving Day Forecast is Already Here
The experts at the Farmer’s Almanac have released their Thanksgiving Day and November weather forecasts. Looking at trends across the country, the Farmer’s Almanac says that for temperature, they’re predicting a “warm November overall from the Great Lakes over to much of the East Coast,” as well as near to above normal temperatures “from the Upper Midwest through much of the central and northern Plains.” The really warm areas of the country will be from Oregon down to California with “warmer than normal” conditions, as well as a warmer November for Alaska. The chillier areas of the country will be along the gulf coast and from the Rockies towards Washington State, as well as, get this, Hawaii. Of course, “cooler” for Hawaii is probably not very cold.
So, what about Florida? The Farmer’s Almanac states that for the month of November, “As we travel south, a couple of showers could slow travel a bit from the Ohio Valley to the Southwest to the Deep South. However, the weather remains cool to mild, so there is nothing to worry about temperature-wise.” As for Thanksgiving, that looks like it will be a bit dicey. The Farmer’s Almanac warns that a “storm” could hug the “Atlantic Seaboard, bringing increasing winds, copious precipitation on Turkey Day.” So, it sounds messy.
Now, we still have a ways to go until Thanksgiving, so time will tell how this forecast stands up. In fact, Dr. Michael Riemer, a meteorologist at the JGU Institute of Atmospheric Physics, tells Newswise that, “Research has repeatedly reached the same conclusions: We can predict the weather up to 14 days in advance at best.” Newswise adds that, “Unlike the tides and the orbit of planets, the atmospheric system has an intrinsic limit that represents a natural and ultimate boundary beyond which prediction is no longer possible.”
