After record breaking snow fell Friday night into Saturday, mild temperatures do return the week of Thanksgiving. But unfortunately fog and heavy rain will follow.
With the snow pack over a foot and a half deep in some spots, temperatures will remain in the upper 20's to low 30's Monday, middle 30's on Tuesday and upper 30's on Wednesday. Surface winds will slowly shift around to the south late Monday night. With those south winds, more mild air will be pulled north. Melting snow and an added increase in moisture into the atmosphere will likely cause fog to develop during the overnights this week, starting as early as Monday night.
The fog will turn a little more dense Wednesday evening and Wednesday night ahead of a warm front and low pressure system. Gulf moisture will be pulled northward with light showers possible Wednesday evening.
Rain will fall on Thanksgiving, but temperatures should be able to reach the low 50's. Unfortunately, that will also lead to quite a bit of fog during the day. A cold front pulls through Friday morning with colder and drier air
following Friday afternoon. This will push the rain east into the Ohio River Valley and temperatures will cool into this weekend.
Rainfall amounts looks to be fairly high with locations likely picking up over an inch. With the two inches of rain that fell early last week, plus the added snow melt on top of the expected rainfall Thanksgiving, our concerns are growing for the possibility of minor flooding and slowly rising river waters.
If your holiday plans have you traveling this week, know that you will be running into rain - with the heaviest falling Thursday late afternoon into the night.
