Overview
- A multi-state system is set to deliver widespread rain Tuesday, with heavier bursts likely during the morning commute in parts of the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley.
- Northern New England gets a quick clipper Sunday with light snow for higher elevations, while steadier rain holds off until Tuesday night into early Wednesday for many eastern areas.
- A potent cold front follows the midweek rain, bringing a sharp Thanksgiving cooldown and brisk conditions, with highs falling into the 30s and 40s across many northern locales.
- Lake-effect snow risks rise around the Great Lakes Thursday into Friday, with localized impacts possible near Cleveland and Detroit.
- Strong regional contrasts continue as the Southeast stays unusually warm in the 70s to 80s into midweek before a modest cool-down, and most outlets still expect Thanksgiving Day travel to be largely manageable.
