UK Turns Wet and Windy as Ireland Faces Fog, U.S. Clears Briefly Before Midweek Thanksgiving System

Travel conditions grow variable from snowmelt risk to a looming U.S. storm into Thanksgiving.

Overview

  • Met Office guidance points to widespread rain and gusts topping 50 mph in parts of Britain this weekend as temperatures turn milder than the recent Arctic cold.
  • Flood alerts flag localized risk where heavy rain combines with rapid snowmelt, including along the River Lugg in Herefordshire.
  • Met Éireann issued a short-duration Status Yellow fog warning early Saturday for 11 counties, cautioning of treacherous visibility for drivers.
  • In the U.S., many areas are drying out with brighter weather into Sunday before a Tuesday–Wednesday rain event complicates pre-Thanksgiving travel.
  • Forecasts indicate a strong late-week cold front will usher in much colder air, gusty winds and the potential for lake-effect snow downwind of the Great Lakes.
