Old Farmer’s Almanac predicts warm Thanksgiving, rain chances for South Texas

If you were hoping to pull out the cute winter boots and Fall-inspired sweaters this Thanksgiving holiday, you may be disappointed. The Old Farmer’s Almanac has released its long-range forecast for Thanksgiving 2026, and cool weather doesn’t appear to be in sight.

The forecast, published on Thursday, October 15, and based on its 2027 edition, provides an outlook for Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 26. Sweater weather is not on the list of expectations for South Central Texas. In fact, the Almanac is predicting warm conditions with a chance of showers. Yuck.

If you live in southern Texas and had outdoor plans for Thanksgiving, you may want to reconsider. The Almanac’s regional outlook specifically says the area can expect warm weather with a chance of showers.

Although the Almanac doesn’t provide San Antonio-specific rainfall chances or exact timing for showers, I think it’s safe to assume Texas weather is capable of anything at this point.

Will Texas see snow?

If you are a hopeful, snow-loving Texan, the Almanac’s prediction may shatter your ideal Thanksgiving holiday. The only areas across the country that will have the chance at seeing snow during Thanksgiving week are the Northeast, Appalachians, Lower Lakes, Upper Midwest and Alaska. Sorry y’all…
