- Snow around Thanksgiving is expected to be limited and focused on northern New England, the Upper Midwest, higher elevations of the Intermountain West, and Alaska.
- Much of the East Coast is forecast to be sunny for Thanksgiving, with temperatures easing from mild early in the week to chilly by the holiday.
- For the Christmas period, the outlook calls for snowy conditions in the Northeast, Upper Midwest, Lower Lakes, the eastern Ohio Valley, and Alaska, with stormy, rainy weather in the northern Pacific Northwest and the Alaska Panhandle.
