Discussion
The major storm that generated heavy rain overnight will shift to our northeast today and Arctic air will pour into the region on strengthening northwest winds. Temperatures have already reached their peak for the day and will steadily drop into the 30's by afternoon. The morning steadier rainfall will give way to rain showers this afternoon that should changeover to snow by late in the day. Strong northwest winds will continue tonight and the snow shower threat will continue with minor accumulations possible between late afternoon and late tonight. Temperatures by morning will be way down in the 20's so all ground surfaces will experience a freeze. Thanksgiving Day promises to be well below normal for this time of year with highs holding in the low-to-mid 30's. Winds will continue to be quite strong out of the northwest during the morning hours on Thursday, but should slacken off during the afternoon and evening as high pressure quickly builds in overhead. The colder-than-normal weather will continue on Friday and Saturday as well and the winds will stay on the light side. Finally, expect a couple inches of turkey to accumulate late tomorrow afternoon or early evening and that will likely diminish to sandwiches on Friday.
