The weather in the Quad Cities today will feature a sun and high cloud mix and highs in the mid-30s. Looking back at the climate data, here are some interesting Thanksgiving stats:
Average highs: 42°-45°. The warmest Thanksgiving was back in 1966 when it reached 66°. The coldest was Thanksgiving 1950 when we dropped to 3°.
53% of Thanksgivings have highs between 33°-49°.
The wettest Thanksgiving was in 1915 when 1.90" of rain fell and the heaviest snow on Thanksgiving was in 1968 when 5" accumulated. However, there was 8" of snow on the ground on Thanksgiving 1975.
Last year, the high reached 63° in the Quad Cities on Thanksgiving and we had 0.05" of rain. The last time it snowed (1.3") on turkey day here was in 1993.
Here are some other forecasts for this Thanksgiving. Enjoy your feast!
