Thanksgiving Week Outlook

Expect much less wind over the next several days, especially Friday and Saturday. The lighter winds, combined with plentiful sunshine and temperatures largely in the 50s, should make for pleasant late fall weather for much of the weekend. A cold front will bring cooler temperatures for the start of next week. Dry conditions will prevail for several more days, but the pattern may turn more active in time for the Thanksgiving holiday travel period.

The overall pattern is forecast to become colder and more active for Thanksgiving week, particularly for the second half of the week. In fact, early indications are for a 20 to 40 percent chance for measurable snow on or around Thanksgiving Day. Keep an eye on updated forecasts if you have travel plans for the Thanksgiving holiday.
