Happy Thanksgiving!

The First Warn Weather team would like to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!

Clouds will increase this Thanksgiving afternoon ahead of a very strong and dynamic storm system moving across the northern Rockies.  A strong cold front will move through the Great Lakes between 6pm and 7pm with temperatures expected to tumble shortly behind.  With a brisk southerly wind afternoon highs will rise near 60°, or slightly warmer.  Look for a few showers (and maybe a thunderstorm) to develop after 3pm and continue through 9pm until the front passes.  Once the front moves through winds will quickly shift around to the northwest tonight pulling down a very cold air mass from northern Canada.  Temperatures will go from the 60s today down to the low 30s by Friday morning.  This means all you Black Friday shoppers will definitely want to bundle up if you're going out late tonight or very early Friday morning.

Temperatures around 6pm Thursday evening will be in the middle 50s with a southwest breeze.  By 9pm the winds will have shifted and overnight lows will drop into the low 30s by daybreak Friday.  Wind chills will be a big factor Friday with a majority of the day experiencing wind chills in the teens.  After Friday there is no real major warm up as cold air looks to remain in place through the middle of next week.
