What’s Mother Nature Cooking Up for Thanksgiving?

Thanksgiving Day is a special time of year for families to gather together, share their blessings, reminisce, watch parades and/or football, and, most importantly, eat. While you’re cooking up a feast of turkey, stuffing, potatoes, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, and all the rest, what will Mother Nature be cooking up outside? Will it feel like an oven, or will your area get splashed with a baster full of rain? Read on for our Thanksgiving Day forecast!

Northeast
Fair at first, then turning very unsettled, with squalls; hopefully, the adverse weather holds off until after the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade.

Midwest/Great Lakes
Fair at first, then turning very unsettled, with squalls for the Ohio River.

Gusty and showery.

North Central
Gusty and showery.

Thanksgiving will be cozy no matter what the weather for midwest is because it is where family is together.

Leanne and Jessie, “unsettled” is when the weather is just generally “blech.” Overcast, windy, drizzly … Not really a proper storm, just kind of unsettled …

Unsettled means anything can happen from what you said to snow,rain sleet, wind depends on the temperature where you live and the weather system that is over your area hope this helps

OK, can anyone tell me exactly what does “unsettled” mean? Is that windy, cloudy, chances of precipitation? What?!

If you notice a hole in the upper left-hand corner of your Farmers' Almanac, don't return it to the store! That hole isn't a defect; it's a part of history. Starting with the first edition of the Farmers' Almanac in 1818, readers used to nail holes into the corners to hang it up in their homes, barns, and outhouses (to provide both reading material and toilet paper). In 1910, the Almanac's publishers began pre-drilling holes in the corners to make it even easier for readers to keep all of that invaluable information (and paper) handy.
