Mild, Mostly Dry Weekend Sets Up Midweek Rain and a Colder Thanksgiving

Early holiday travel looks largely smooth before a Tuesday–Wednesday rainmaker and a colder turn for the Great Lakes.

Overview

  • Showers are confined mainly to late Friday night into Saturday morning in several regions, with the rest of the weekend trending dry and seasonably mild.
  • Many areas warm into the 50s with sunshine by Sunday, while regional differences persist, including a better chance of Saturday rain south and east in New England and drier conditions across the Upper Midwest.
  • A more widespread round of rain is expected late Tuesday into Wednesday, with most locations seeing rain and far northern spots possibly mixing with snow.
  • Colder air follows the midweek front, bringing below-normal temperatures for Thanksgiving and the potential for lake-effect or light snow in parts of the Great Lakes.
  • Forecasters stress low travel impacts through the weekend and into early next week, with uncertainty around later-week and post-Thanksgiving snow or wind that could create localized issues.
