Looking ahead to next week, the weather service predicts seasonably cool and dry conditions on Monday before a frontal system approaches the area. Rain is forecast to develop late Tuesday into Tuesday night, with chances continuing through Wednesday. Temperatures will become milder Tuesday and Wednesday ahead of the system.
Thanksgiving Day may feature seasonably cool and dry conditions, though forecasters note some uncertainty remains about the timing of the cold front. Most weather models suggest the front will move through before the holiday, bringing a return to seasonable temperatures for Thanksgiving.
