Chilly to start the week, mild Thanksgiving

The highs on Monday through Wednesday are expected to be in the middle to upper 50s, with each day warmer than the previous one, according to the National Weather Service. Partly cloudy skies are predicted for Tuesday night, with a low around 27.

Tuesday temperatures will reach the high 60s during the day and drop to high 50s at night along the coastal and inland areas, Harrison said.

Clear and again cold tonight with temperatures in the 30s this evening.

Thanksgiving temperatures will be above average, with highs ranging from the lower to upper 50s. Right now the system is expected to arrive early Tuesday morning bringing light to moderate rainfall across the coast, pushing into the higher elevations and possibly dipping into the northern end of the valley by five in the morning. Thursday will be partly cloudy with a high of 58 degrees and an overnight low of 48 degrees. The wind should be just strong enough to keep overnight lows above freezing.

Along with the mild air, the weather service says dry air is in store for holiday travelers. As we move into Friday night, there is a chance we could see some freezing rain in our region. The only issue I can see is foggy areas where heavy snow is melting.

A little warmer each and every day this week.

Saturday the cold front will pass through the area with a slight chance of some rain. “It’ll continue into late Wednesday, but Thanksgiving looks like it will be dry”. Snow levels will start off between 4,000 and 5,000 feet ahead of the front Monday, then plummet to around 1,500 feet as showers continue in the cold air behind the front Monday night and Tuesday. Below normal temperatures are expected to linger well into the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Highs will be in the upper 40s during the afternoon with light northwest winds shifting southeast. Highs will still be near 60 for most of the area.

Still a chance of icy roadways Sunday morning, but clearing by Sunday afternoon.
