Will It Be Sunny on Thanksgiving in Texas?

The weather in Texas is notoriously bipolar. That's especially the case when it comes to Thanksgiving. You never know what to expect when Turkey Day comes around.

Of course, you could say the same about any time of the year here in the Lone Star State (aside from June through August, when it’s guaranteed to be brutally hot). But I’ve always felt Thanksgiving was a particularly unpredictable time of year when it comes to the weather.

What the Experts Are Saying

Fortunately, the folks at The Old Farmer’s Almanac are known for accurate weather forecasts. Here’s what they’re saying about Thanksgiving 2025 for Texas and Oklahoma:

A warm week overall, with a clear north–south split. Northern parts stay dry and sunny, while southern portions may see a shower or two. Most travelers will find conditions favorable for holiday getaways.

As you can see in the graphic below, folks travelling in South Texas may have to deal with rain during the holiday. Those of us here in North Texas and most of Oklahoma should have a nice, dry, sunny day. I'll certainly take that.

Keep in mind that even the best meteorologists get it wrong with their forecasts from time to time. Hopefully, this one will hold up.
