Precipitation Forecast, Image: NOAA
A low pressure system that dumped heavy rain in Texas and Louisiana is now advancing to the Mid-Atlantic region. Parts of Georgia, Tennessee, and the Carolinas can expect heavy rain before the low tracks off the coast of the United States. Rain / higher elevation snow storms continue to roll into the Pacific Northwest. Coastal areas of Washington and Oregon continue to see rain and high winds, whereas the Cascades continue to pile up snow.

Sneak Peak at Thanksgiving
Cold Air Moves South, Image: Unisys Weather
Brr! This is a computer model image of what Thanksgiving Day looks like in terms of high temperatures. (The temperatures are in Celsius and about 5000 feet above sea level—but this map helps forecasters compute the high and low temperatures in your area.)
A storm system setting up across the United States will keep temperatures in the 40s in places like Cincinnati, Ohio on turkey day, with overnight lows at or below freezing. There’s even the possibility of lake effect snow across the Great Lakes region.
The Pacific Northwest and Southeastern States will also feel the big chill! Perfect weather for some indoor mall shopping on Black Friday.
