Great Thanksgiving Forecast

This week couldn't turn out too much better for those that are getting their holiday break to enjoy some good food, some family/friends, and I suppose some good shopping! The temperatures should be near/above normal for most of the state, and even better is that we look to stay mainly dry into the weekend! Temperatures today should range from the upper 30s to upper 40s from east to west, with lows tonight in the lower to mid 20s across the state.

The clear skies continue on Wednesday with temperatures in the 40s throughout the state of Iowa. Outside of Iowa, the rest of the plains states should also see continuous sun with temperatures ranging from the mid 30s across northern Minnesota and northern Wisconsin, into the 40s across Illinios, southern Minnesota, southern Wisconsin, and through eastern South Dakota. The warm spot on the plains will be out west, with western South Dakota and Nebraska seeing temperatures in the 50s. Overnight lows on Wednesday in the 20s throughout Iowa and nearly all of the plains states.

Thanksgiving Day leaves high temperatures in the 40s throughout Iowa, with lower 30s to upper 40s from north to south across the entire northern plains. A few clouds may move into some areas of the plains and Iowa, with a few flurries not out of the question mainly over Minnesota and Wisconsin. Thursday night continues a few flurries over MN/WI, with temperatures in the upper teens to upper 20s from north to south across the northern plains.
