Thanksgiving holiday could be cold!
Anyone with travel plans around the Thanksgiving holiday may want to pay special attention to the forecast. As it stands now, a cold front will move through Monday night into Tuesday as a trough in the jestream develops in the southwest. Winds aloft will come screaming in from the southwest which will help develop an area of low pressure in the southern Plains - and it's this low that could bring the Stateline it's first potential snowfall and also some of the coldest air we've seen so far this season. While nothing is set in stone just yet, it looks like the low will may move through southern Illinois Wednesday night and into the northeast by Thursday night. If this were the case the lower Great Lakes would probably see some type of snowfall accumulation. However, if the low were to track further south and east the snowfall wouldn't amount to much - which looks like that might be the case. While the probability of snowfall is still a little uncertain it does look like the cold air that has been bottled up in Canada and Alaska will have its eyes set on the Midwest. There is a chance that Thanksgiving day we might not even break the freezing mark!
