Thanksgiving week is going to be pretty nice for travelers in most of the country. As is usually the case, we can't go all week (nationwide nonetheless) without some kind of weather happening in some part of the US that wouldn't be cause for concern. Fortunately, it should be on a limited scale and anyone traveling around Kansas or surrounding states should be fine.
Monday storm is all in the Northeast:
Tuesday - much of the country is rather quiet, except for the strong winds in the Plains:
Wednesday - some snow coming into the central and northern Rockies, but not a major storm:
Thanksgiving/Friday: Attention will be turning south of Kansas for a potential southern Plains storm. Expectations are this will be a rainy setup for Texas, southern Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana on east. I don't think the storm has much of a chance at getting into Kansas as the track looks to be south of us. Southeast Kansas has a potential of some moisture into Thursday night and Friday, but this is a system that we'll need to watch. It hasn't even formed yet, so forecasts can and will be wildly different until we get a little closer to the actual event.
However, we are likely to see enough of a pattern shift that chillier weather will overspread a good portion of the Plains, upper Midwest, and Great Lakes. We continue to watch the Arctic Oscillation dip negative for late November and into December. One would expect things to start getting much colder very soon, but so far, we aren't seeing it on the maps yet. It's possible it may be saving up for December.
