Weather
An active pattern for the Thanksgiving Holiday
Most of the U.S. will experience dry weather for the remainder of Monday, except for snow showers in the vicinity of the Great Lakes. In addition, cold weather will linger early in the week across the South and East. Meanwhile, a new Pacific storm will arrive in the Northwest by Tuesday. During the busy, pre-Thanksgiving travel period on November 24- 25, significant snow can be expected from the Cascades and Sierra Nevada eastward to northern portions of the Rockies and High Plains. By Thanksgiving Day, November 26, locally heavy showers and thunderstorms will erupt from Texas to the Great Lakes region, with storm-total rainfall reaching 1 to 5 inches. Mild weather will return to the eastern U.S. in advance of the approaching storm, but sharply colder air will cover most areas west of the Mississippi River by week’s end.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for near- to below-normal temperatures across most of the nation, while warmer-than-normal weather will be limited to Florida and the Northeast. Meanwhile, below-normal precipitation from the northern half of the Pacific Coast to the upper Great Lakes region will contrast with wetter-than-normal conditions across the southern and eastern U.S.
