With Thanksgiving just days away, there may be issues for travelers across parts of the country due to cold temperatures and possible rain and snow across the country.
In terms of temperatures, seasonably chilly weather is expected to move in across much of the country for much of next week. While it won’t be shattering any record low temperatures, a cold snap arrives in time for Thanksgiving in several cities.
Early in the week, a system developing over the Great Lakes will move over the eastern U.S. bringing another round of precipitation stretching from the deep South up through the Midwest and Northeast.
At the same time, another system will move in over the West Coast bringing more rain and heavy mountain snow over the Cascades and the Rockies. This system will regenerate over the Central U.S. midweek before heading towards the East Coast by Thursday and Friday.
While parts of the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic look to see heavy rain heading into Thanksgiving Day, this system could bring more wintry weather for portions of the Midwest and Northeast Thursday into Friday.
In the west, moderate rain and mountain snow are set to continue, while a new storm begins forming over the Great Lakes. This storm looks to be fairly weak but could still bring rain and some wet snow to portions of Michigan and Wisconsin.
