Good morning!
Skies are clear early on this Thanksgiving morning and temperatures are unseasonably cold with readings ranging from the upper teens in Clifton down to around 10 at High Point, winds are gusty out of the northwest. Wind chill values are in the single digits.
Arctic high pressure will build down from Canada and give us a windy and unseasonably cold Thanksgiving despite plenty of sunshine, high temperatures will only reach the 20s and with gusty winds it will feel much colder.
Winds will diminish tonight and with clear skies temperatures are likely to drop to near 10 in Clifton down to the single digits inland. During the day on Friday it still will be quite cold with highs only around freezing however the winds will stay light and there will again be plenty of sunshine.
Much milder on Saturday but a low pressure will cause some rain mainly from late afternoon through the night with 1 to 1 1/2 inches expected.
Sunday may turn out to be a very nice day with skies becoming mostly sunny and highs in the mid to upper 50s.
Another disturbance may cause some more rain on Monday, temperatures will continue to be mild.
Tuesday and Wednesday will be colder and windy with slight chance of an occasional snow or rain shower on Tuesday.
