When you’re bundling up your pumpkin pie to bring to grandma’s Thanksgiving dinner, some Americans will be pulling on their winter coats as well.
Thanksgiving Day weather will bring an array of meteorological conditions across the 50 states on November 27 from snow to sun to rain, long range weather forecaster The Old Farmer’s Almanac predicted this week.
Parts of Northern New England, Upper Midwest, and those in higher elevations are predicted to see some snow on turkey day.
The Northeast, especially in the Northern parts of New England, could see snowflakes as it will experience a colder than average Thanksgiving.
The Upper Midwest is in the same boat and could face slick roads as residents drive to their loved ones homes for dinner.
Alaska will experience snow showers on-and-off the entire holiday week, with reduced visibility.
Those in higher elevations should also prepare for a snowy Thanksgiving, as a mix of snow and rain are expected.
The West Coast is expected to have a wet turkey day, while most of the East Coast is expected to have a sunny holiday, with the exception on Maine, which could get some flurries.

The Southern part of the US is expected to have a warmer holiday that will have clear skies and perfect weather for hiking and outside gatherings.
However, Florida will have a cooler than usual Thanksgiving, but the Sunshine State can expect bright skies that day.
The Ohio Valley will have a chilly start, but it will slowly build to a warm day, the Almanac predicted. It could experience a few rain showers throughout the holiday week.
Nearly 90 percent of Americans travel on Thanksgiving by car with a mere seven percent flying, according to AAA.
Last year, nearly 80 million were expected to travel 50 miles or more for the holiday weekend.
Travel estimates for this year have not yet been released.
Nerd Wallet reported that according to data from aviation analytics company Cirium, airline bookings were up 2.2 percent this year compared to last.
The Sunday after Thanksgiving is expected to be a travel nightmare, as its the busiest day to return home via air travel.
The West Coast is expected to have a wet turkey day, while most of the East Coast is expected to have a sunny holiday. The Thanksgiving Day Parade in NYC last year was a wet one
The West Coast is expected to have a wet turkey day, much like New York experienced last year
Last year, more than three million traveled by plane on the Sunday. It was the highest number of passengers in the Transportation Security Administration agency’s 23-year history.
The busy day to fly in for the holiday is Wednesday evening, as many choose these flights to avoid taking off an extra day of work.
The lowest traffic day of the week is the holiday itself.
