Thanksgiving Week Forecast

A High Wind Watch has been issued for northern Nebraska on Tuesday, with the strongest winds expected from Midnight through 6 PM CST. Wind gusts may reach around 60 mph, which could easily blow around unsecured outdoor items and make travel—especially for high-profile vehicles—more difficult. Now is a good time to bring in or tie down anything that could become airborne and plan for slower, more cautious driving if you’ll be on the road.

A stretch of cooler weather is on the way this week, with highs mainly in the 30s and 40s and a mix of rain or snow chances at times. Monday brings rain, followed by breezy and cooler conditions Tuesday. Thanksgiving looks quiet with partly cloudy skies, and only light winds. However, if you plan to travel for the holiday weekend or early next week, be aware that snow chances increase after this 5-day period, which could impact return-travel conditions. We’ll continue to refine the timing and amounts, but now is a good time to keep an eye on updates if you have long-distance plans.
