Thanksgiving Forecast: What To Expect In The Bay Area

As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, many Northern California residents may be wondering what turkey day will look like.

Clear weather is set to continue this weekend and into Thanksgiving week, which will be defined by a very slight warming trend across Northern California, according to the National Weather Service.

Northern California should have "above normal" temperatures in the days leading up to the holiday and on Thanksgiving day, according to the 6-10 day temperature outlook from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

There's "high confidence in a broad ridge over the western U.S. into Thanksgiving, which would allow fair weather to persist and result in a very gradual warming trend by a few degrees into late week," the NWS wrote Friday.

The holiday is expected to be defined by sunny skies and highs in the mid 60s across much of the region, though fog is possible in some areas.

Here's a look at the NWS's forecasted highs across NorCal for Thanksgiving day:

• Fremont — 65 degrees
• Napa — 63 degrees; some areas of fog
• Healdsburg — 68 degrees; some areas of patchy fog
• Livermore — 63 degrees
• Walnut Creek — 65 degrees
• San Francisco — 63 degrees

Those hoping to shred some fresh powder during their holiday breaks might be disappointed: Several Lake Tahoe-area ski resorts pushed back their planned November opening days due to a lack of snow.

But Mammoth Mountain opened for the season on Thursday, and several others plan to open in time for Thanksgiving — including one in Southern California.
