Mostly Tranquil…

Highlights:

  • Colder than normal, but dry
  • Windy, but mostly dry this weekend
  • Moderating ahead of the next storm

Dry For The Big Travel Day…A cold front is passing through the state as we type this forecast with a light band of moisture (light rain ending as light snow).  This will serve up cold, but dry conditions for the big travel day, and continued dry conditions Thanksgiving Day.  “Average” temperatures Thanksgiving feature lows around 30° and highs in the middle 40s, and we’ll be pretty close to those values.  Black Friday will feature dry, but increasingly breezy conditions.

Thankfully, weather conditions will be tranquil for “Iron Bowl Saturday” (WARRRR EAGLE)!!!  With the exception of an early shower, look for dry conditions along with a shifting breeze that will help push colder air in for the second half of the weekend.

Those chilly conditions won’t last long as we get into an increasingly gusty southwesterly flow and milder conditions next week ahead of the next approaching storm system…

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • Snowfall: Trace
  • Rainfall: 0.10″

Extended Stretch Of Unusually Quiet Weather…

High pressure will remain in control of our weather as we open the short Thanksgiving week.  This will supply plentiful sunshine today, along with an increasingly gusty southwest wind by this afternoon (30 MPH).  A cold start (most in the middle 20s) will moderate to near seasonal norms by this afternoon (upper 40s to around 50).

A tightening pressure gradient will result in gusty winds this afternoon.

Reinforcing chilly air will blow into town Tuesday night.  Ahead of this, weak moisture return will lead to a few showers Tuesday afternoon.  Winds will shift to the northwest Tuesday night and help push a colder air mass into the state.  This colder than average theme will continue for Thanksgiving Day, itself.  Highs in the lower 40s Wednesday and Thursday can be expected with lows in the  middle to upper 20s.  Dry weather will quickly return Wednesday and Thursday.

A few light showers will move into town Tuesday afternoon.

Finally, another weak weather maker will approach late Black Friday into the holiday weekend.  This cold front will be enough to generate showers Saturday and will help push another shot of chill into the area as we close the weekend.  Similar to Tuesday afternoon’s rain, amounts will be very light.  In fact, total rainfall with both systems should fall in the 0.10″-0.25″ range.

Thanksgiving Week Opens Cold…

Highlights:

  • Scattered flurries and snow showers Sunday morning
  • Dry for Thanksgiving travels
  • Rather boring week of weather ahead

November Or December?!  A strong cold front is slipping southeast as we type this forecast Saturday afternoon.  This will result in a much colder close to the day, along with wrap around moisture transitioning to wet snow later this evening across central and northern portions of the state.  Sunday will start off with scattered flurries and snow showers before dry conditions quickly return.  It’ll be an unseasonably cold and blustery day.

As folks begin to travel for the upcoming Thanksgiving Day holiday, high pressure will provide an extended period of dry and rather uneventful conditions.  A dry cold front will pass through the state Tuesday and help reinforce the chill for Thanksgiving, itself.  While we’ll notice gusty breezes at times this upcoming week, precipitation will be hard to come by.

Our next threat of precipitation will arrive this time next week as a cold front moves south.  Expect showers Saturday, followed by a wind shift and coldest air of the season by the second half of next weekend.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • Snowfall: Trace – Dusting
  • Rainfall: 0.10″ – 0.25″
