Good morning! The Cold Snap has faded. We’ll skyrocket to the upper 70’s today, for a very warm start to this Thanksgiving Holiday Week. We’re dry through the evening, but the risk of showers begins late tonight as the first front of the week moves in. This week’s second Cold Front will be a bigger deal. It’ll bring in showers and storms Wednesday night and on Thanksgiving. Some of those storms could be strong. Behind the front, MUCH colder air will follow, starting on Black Friday and beyond. Iron Bowl Saturday will be breezy and chilly. Wind chill will be an issue over the weekend. Here’s my brief video forecast discussion.
TODAY: A mostly cloudy start will give way to sunshine later. Very warm for late November. High in the upper 70’s. (Normal 67/41) Southwest wind 6 to 12 mph. Dry through the evening hours tonight. Scattered showers in the overnight hours as a front approaches.
NEXT FEW DAYS: The best travel weather of the week will be on Tuesday and Wednesday. This week’s second Cold Front will be a bigger deal. It’ll bring in showers and storms Wednesday night and on Thanksgiving. Some of those storms could be strong. Behind the front, MUCH colder air will follow. A sample of Arctic Air, but nothing crazy. Black Friday and Iron Bowl Saturday will be breezy and cold. Wind chill will be a factor this weekend.
Here’s the expected rainfall for the week ahead.
