Thanksgiving Week in a Nutshell

A switch in the weather pattern is occurring that will bring a spell of mild temperatures to the Stateline through Thanksgiving day. Clouds tonight will make for a milder night than recent days. the low will be in the upper 30's. A weak disturbance will keep skies mostly cloudy on Monday, and there will be a chance of sprinkles or very light rain showers in the afternoon. The high will be in the middle 50's. Modified Pacific high pressure will take control of area weather on Tuesday. The clouds will break up, and it will be sunny in the afternoon. Highs will still be in the 50's, but warmer air will spread in from the plains on Wednesday pushing the mercury up into the low 60's under sunny skies. It will be in the low 60's again on Thanksgiving Day with morning sunshine giving way to some clouds in the afternoon. It will be breezy, too, in advance of a cold front stretching across Minnesota and Nebraska into Colorado. The cold front will move across the Stateline on Thursday night ushering cold temperatures for Friday. It will be partly cloudy, windy, and colder on Friday with a high around 47 degrees. The wind will be northwesterly 15 to 25 mph with gusts to 30 mph, so you will definitely feel the wind chill when you go shopping on Black Friday. The wind will subside on Saturday as high pressure settles into the area. It will remain cool for the weekend with highs in the 40's.
