Thanksgiving travelers may be in for a rough start to their holiday as an approaching storm is threatens travel plans, but Black Friday bargain shoppers can expect a clear but cold wait in line in below average temperatures.
For tomorrow, forecasters are predicting trouble for airlines as strong winds and heavy rain could ground flights
"If these wind gusts are realized, coupled with the rain, there will undoubtedly be travel problems," said meteorologist Randy Adkins with Accuweather.
Gusts could reach up to 60 mph, according to Adkins.
He said the strongest rain will happen tonight into tomorrow morning. Flurries are possible, but no snow accumulation is expected, he added.
Logan International Airport is expecting around 100,000 people traveling in and out of Boston today and tomorrow, a Massport spokesman said.
As the storm moves out, temperatures are expected to drop below average.
"Thursday into Friday will be in the low- to mid-30s with the average for this time of year being 44," said Bill Simpson, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.
Jon Hurst, president of the Retailers Association of Massachusetts, said he doesn't expect the cold to deter shoppers.
"The consumer is kind of funny," Hurst said. "Sometimes cold weather and maybe even a little bit of snow can actually get them into a shopping mood. Getting them thinking about hats, gloves, coats and that type of thing."
