Mild Weekend Fades as Tuesday Rainmaker Sets Up a Thanksgiving Cooldown Across Much of the U.S.

Forecasters highlight Tuesday as the primary travel concern, with heavy rain in some areas before colder air arrives for the holiday.

Overview

  • Sunny, above‑average weekend conditions are wrapping up, while northern New England sees spotty Sunday snow showers with only light grassy accumulations.
  • Widespread rain is expected Tuesday into Wednesday from a multi‑state storm, and some areas could see the heaviest rain during the Tuesday morning commute.
  • A strong cold front late Wednesday into Thanksgiving will drop temperatures sharply, with localized lake‑effect snow increasingly likely around the Great Lakes Thursday and Friday.
  • The Southeast, including central Florida and coastal Georgia, stays unusually warm into early week with highs in the 70s to 80s before a late‑week cooldown.
  • Met Éireann issued a Status Yellow fog warning for 11 Irish counties early Monday, cautioning drivers about poor visibility and treacherous travel conditions.
