Thanksgiving Week Weather: Chilly Turkey Day Forecast

FRAMINGHAM, MA — Some light rain and snow will give way to a chilly Thanksgiving this year in the Framingham area, the National Weather Service forecasts. We can expect rain and snow from Monday through Wednesday with high temperatures in the mid- to high-30's, and there shouldn't be much snow accumulation.

Thanksgiving day will be a different story. We're not expecting any precipitation, nor much cloud cover, but the high temperature for the day is 20, which should drop down to about seven degrees at night, the NWS says. It should heat up a bit on Friday, with the high temperature forecast at 30.

The NWS released a hazardous weather outlook, warning of Tuesday morning snow potentially impacting travelers, mainly north and west of I-95.
