Discussion
High pressure will remain in control of the weather for another day producing some sunshine here today, light winds, and temperatures on the chilly side with afternoon highs near 50 degrees. A strong cold front approaches the area later tomorrow and the pushes through at mid-week. This system will bring more welcome rain to the area from later tomorrow into Wednesday and its passage will usher in an unseasonably cold air mass for Thanksgiving Day and a secondary cold frontal passage will ensure unseasonably cold weather for Friday and Saturday as well. The winds will become a noticeable factor on Thanksgiving Day from a northwesterly direction and then very strong on Thursday night and Friday. This late week Arctic blast will produce another Great Lakes snow event for those areas just downstream of the still relatively warm lakes, and a few snow showers could make their way all the way into the I-95 corridor.
