      Good afternoon.  The temperature is mild at 68 degrees ( 20 C.) clear blue sky.  Just 8 miles from us they got ¼” of rain.  Now it sounds like Thursday night, so I hope so because it is so dry.  I got more succulents moved into the greenhouse yesterday, started to water again outside.  Will try to get another wagon emptied today with digging up lily bulbs and having some other pots that I will compost.  I better do it when the weather is so nice.  How about you are you working outside? 
I don’t want to think of Thanksgiving yet, but here is the prediction for the weather for the United States for that time.  Looks good for us and that will be nice for the traveling that people will do.  Stay safe…

Thanksgiving Weather Forecast 2024— by Bob Smerbeck and Brian Thompson
We’re big planners here at the Almanac, and we know that many readers are already making Thanksgiving travel plans.
Thanksgiving Weather Forecast
In 2024, Thanksgiving (U.S.) occurs on Thursday, November 28. Many Americans get Thursday and Friday off from work for the holiday, often meaning they make that pilgrimage during the week.
Ready for a road trip? Last year, AAA stated that most Americans (89%) travel by car, while 8.5% journey by plane for the holiday. Here is a broad look at the weather predictions leading up to Thanksgiving week! 
Will it Rain or Snow on Thanksgiving?
Midwest to East Coast
There should be a fair amount of sunshine from the Upper Midwest over to most of the East Coast. Travel weather should generally be pretty good in the days leading up to festivities with fairly mild or cool (but not frigid) conditions. That’s certainly good news for airline hubs such as Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Detroit, and Charlotte.
Southeast and Florida
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.
In Florida, temperatures will be warmer than average for our most southeastern state. Also, expect rain showers—so a fairly warm, wet Thanksgiving.
The Central U.S.
Temperatures will be sunny throughout the Central U.S., with mostly warmer-than-normal temperatures from the Upper Midwest (Minnesota and Wisconsin) through the Heartland (Iowa, Missouri, Kansas) all the way to Texas and Oklahoma.
Texans will enjoy a sunny holiday, with warmer-than-average temperatures in the north. Expect it to be a little cooler with a few showers in the south.
The Plains
Much of the Plains will continue to experience warmth similar to temperatures in the rest of the Central U.S. The Plains should be mostly dry with just a few showers.
The Rocky Mountains
A few snow showers could cause some slick spots if the trek to Mom and Pop’s house is in the Rockies, specifically in northern areas. Southern parts will be sunny. Temperatures will be relatively mild for the holiday.
The Southwest to Northwest
Dry weather and sunshine should help keep holiday travel moving in the Southwest, including hubs like Los Angeles and Phoenix. In California, expect sunshiny days from San Diego to San Francisco, with warmer-than-normal temperatures.
As we travel north to Oregon and Washington, the warmer-than-average temperatures continue. At the same time, there could be some rain across the Pacific Northwest around the holiday.
Much further north in Alaska, we expect a Thanksgiving with snowflakes and mixed rain in the central to northern areas.
Hawaii
Is anyone here from Hawaii or traveling to our tropical paradise over Thanksgiving? Expect slightly cooler-than-normal temperatures and rain showers in the east and west.
Overall November 2024 Forecast
We’re expecting a warm November overall from the Great Lakes over to much of the East Coast. Temperatures will also be near to above normal from the Upper Midwest through much of the central and northern Plains. Along the Gulf Coast, though, it will likely turn out a little cooler than normal. It will be on the chilly side from the Rockies over toward Washington State, while it will likely be warmer than normal from Oregon down to California. We’re expecting a warmer-than-normal November in Alaska, while Hawaii will be a little cooler.
Across Canada, temperatures will mainly be near or above normal, with the exception of southern British Columbia.
Precipitation will be near or below normal from the Great Lakes to the Northeast and the Mid-Atlantic. Much of the Deep South and Southeast will be wetter than normal. A drier-than-normal November is expected from the Plains all the way to the West Coast. Across Alaska, above-normal precipitation will be found across the south, while it will be drier in the north. The Big Island of Hawaii will likely have a wet November, while the rest of the islands will be on the drier side.
Looking at Canada, we expect near- to below-normal precipitation across the Maritimes, southwestern Ontario, southern British Columbia, Yukon, and Northwest Territories. Above-normal precipitation is likely for much of the area for southern Quebec, southeastern Ontario, and the Prairies.
