Thanksgiving week weather

We've made it to Thanksgiving week and it's a busy one as we travel around and spend some extra time with family and friends. The weather can definitely interfere with our plans, but I think you'll be happy to know this week looks like a quiet one for most of our region. I'm posting maps to showcase what will be going on around the country Wednesday, which is traditionally one of the busiest travel days of the year. There are a couple of areas where things could get slowed up and that would be on the east coast and in the northern Rockies. A large storm system is likely going to generate a bunch of rain from Florida into the northeast. Some of the moisture on the north end of the storm (New York, Boston, Philadelphia) could get snow, so flight delays and wet roads would be something to consider there. Another area to watch would be in Montana and northern Wyoming with some snow coming back into the area.

Thanksgiving Day in Kansas: Sunshine with highs near 60 in the west, 50s for central Kansas, and upper 40s east of I-135

Toward the end of the week, I expect we will see a couple of days with warmer temperatures. The jet stream is going to pull back to the north and we could be close to 60 for Friday and Saturday. There is another strong cold front lurking to the north that will likely slip through Saturday night and cool us down into the 30s/40s by the end of the holiday weekend. There won't be any moisture with it, but we will be headed for some colder weather by then. Have a good Monday (Monday isn't so bad when it's a short week)
