Early look to Thanksgiving week

Planning some Thanksgiving travel this year? Here's an early look at Thanksgiving week. Exact details will be worked out as we get closer, but we are confident in one thing - it will be rather chilly in the Plains.

Look at this map showing average temperatures for Thanksgiving week. 

Unless you are heading to the southwest, you better pack some warm clothing because many areas across the central Plains, the upper Midwest and farther east will be seeing cooler than normal temperatures. It will NOT be the big Arctic blast we had last week, but it does look like temperatures will be about 5-8°

Temperatures on the big travel day - Wednesday

And a preview of temperatures on Thanksgiving Day suggest it will be rather chilly:

As for precipitation (we know that can sometimes be the deciding factor) - we will have to watch and see what develops.

Early signs point toward some potential active weather in the central or southern Plains. So if you are planning to travel, please check back with us next week when we should start to have a better feel for chances of moisture. Right now, I'm thinking if there IS active weather, it may be south of us, but it is too early to say for certain if we will have rain or snow around Kansas.
