Thanksgiving stuffed with sunshine
THURSDAY: The warmer weather continues for Thanksgiving as we reach 60 degrees with sunshine for the holiday and a south breeze at 5-10 mph.
TONIGHT: Clouds build tonight as temperatures drop towards 40 degrees. It will be dry through the night, but our next wave of rain will be just to the west of the area by morning. Winds out of the south from 8-11 mph will create for wind chills in the low to mid 30s for any early morning Black Friday shopping.
EXTENDED: Our next chance of rain returns for Black Friday, moving in from the west close to 8 AM and continuing through the afternoon with high temperatures near 50. It will be a damp, breezy and cool Friday with south winds at 10-15 mph, gusting to 25 mph. Rain tapers off by Friday evening with overnight lows near 40. Saturday looks dry and mild with highs in the mid to upper 50s under partly sunny skies. Another storm system moving in from the southwest will bring a chance of rain Sunday followed by colder air. As the colder air moves in with breezy winds shifting out of the northwest, the rain is expected to change over to snow by the afternoon and evening. Right now it looks more likely to see snow in areas north of I-70 but this could change depending on where the storm system ends up. Right now impacts look minimal, as any snow we see will fall on a warm ground and melt. What we will be watching for is windy conditions Sunday, with winds gusting up to 35 mph. High winds will create some travel impacts, especially on highways and interstates. If you have travel plans for Sunday into Monday, keep an eye on the forecast. The start of next week looks cold with highs only in the 30s and nights in the lower 20s as the winter weather pattern returns.
