Wind and rain could impact holiday travel both before and after Thanksgiving, according to forecasters with the National Weather Service.

It will be below “seasonable” temperatures through much of the week in the Boston area, meteorologist Bill Leatham told the Herald, and both sides of the busy holiday travel season could be impacted by gusts and precipitation.

“On Wednesday it will be fairly windy — 35 mph to 40 mph — could make travel a bit difficult with the rain,” he said.

A weather system is developing, though not entirely formed, that could bring more rain over the weekend, Leatham said.

“It’s kind of a toss up at this point, there could be a system that’s working its way up to the region, but it’s still kind of early. I know at this point we’ve got chances of rain for both days,” he said.

The week will start off sunny but about 10 degrees below normal mid-November temperatures, Leatham said, with highs on Monday in the lower 40s and dropping into the 20s overnight around Boston and into the teens further inland.

Commuters will want to bundle up Tuesday morning, Leatham said, as that overnight cold will persist into the morning drive.

“It will be a chilly start,” he said.

Clouds roll in through the day on Tuesday, and the temperature is expected to max out in the lower 40s. Rain starts in after midnight, Leatham said, when temperatures will again fall below freezing.

There is a some chance of snow inland and west of Worcester, according to the NWS, but not in the Boston area.

“Tuesday into Wednesday there is potential for snow across the interior,” he said.

The weather service says there is a 100% chance of precipitation on Wednesday and a high approaching the lower 50s. Rain tapers off after 4 p.m. and by evening that chance falls to 30%. Winds could reach 40 mph. Overnight temperatures should be in the middle 30s.

Thanksgiving should be dry, Leatham said, though the previous day’s weather patterns could leave some lingering winds which may complicate any plans to cook outside. Temperatures could reach into the 50s under mostly sunny skies. Clouds stay away overnight Thursday, when temperatures fall back toward freezing.

Black Friday shopping should begin under mostly sunny conditions, with temperatures again near fifty with no rain in the forecast.

A weather system could develop though the week that brings rain to the region by Saturday, according to the NWS, though as of now the weather service puts the chance of precipitation at just 30%.

Those leaving the region for the holiday are mostly in luck, with the weather service currently showing clear skies over much of the U.S. for Thanksgiving. Rain is possible to close the weekend in the south west and in northern parts of New England, where it may be cold enough for snow.
