Discussion
November has been a colder-than-normal month so far in the DC metro region (-2.0 degrees) and it could feature one of the coldest Thanksgiving Days ever for this area. An Arctic blast will arrive at mid-week and there is the potential that high temperatures on Thursday (Turkey Day) do not even make it past the freezing mark – some 25 degrees or so below-normal for this time of year. The Arctic cold air mass will begin to lift out by the early part of the weekend and we may have to deal with a storm system near the east coast.
