What Was The Warmest Thanksgiving Ever In Great Falls?

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and for many of us, the weather has been quite the pleasant surprise. As someone born and raised in Texas who is experiencing his first Thanksgiving in Montana, it's been quite the "warm welcome."

As a matter of fact, Thanksgiving's weather forecast is looking pretty good with "warmer" temperatures than some locals might be used to.

This Thanksgiving Will Be A "Warm" One In Great Falls... But Not The Warmest

As of right now, the forecast for Thanksgiving in Great Falls is looking decent with a projected high (as of right now) of 34 and a low of 12 degrees.

That's pretty nice compared to temperatures Great Falls experienced back in 1985 with the lowest temp on record for a Thanksgiving in the Electric City: -25 degrees. To be fair, 1985 also had the coldest daily average temp in November for Great Falls with average temps of 19.8 degrees according to Extreme Weather Watch.

On the other end of the spectrum, Great Falls has recorded some pretty warm Turkey Days.

According to the Great Falls Tribune, the warmest Thanksgiving ever recorded in Great Falls was back in 2017 when the high reached 68 degrees beating out the record of 63 degrees that was reached in both 1942 and 1917.

I don't know about you, but temps right around 70 sound nice and would be perfect for a Thanksgiving celebration. But for now, we'll have to settle with a Thanksgiving high this year of 34 degrees. Not too bad, right?
