Thanksgiving Weather -- One Week Out

The countdown to Thanksgiving is on and it's just one week away.  I'm so ready to feast on turkey and all of the good things that come along with it.  (Here's my turkey from last Thanksgiving!)

As of right now and you know this is subject to change, the days leading up to Thanksgiving and all of the travel look pretty good.

My CBS4 10-day forecast features highs in the 30s and lows in the teens and 20s for the week of Thanksgiving.  (The average highs in the Quad Cities for the last week of November are in the low-to-mid- 40s and lows typically drop to the mid-to-upper-20s).

And, NOAA's Climate Prediction Center agrees.

That is the temperature forecast for November 26-30, 2013, and here is the precipitation forecast for the same time period.

If this holds true, we'll be dealing with a cold Thanksgiving.  But, we won't have to contend with a major winter storm!  Stay tuned.
