Thanksgiving Day: Cold and blustery, but drier
What's next:
Thanksgiving will be colder and still windy, but noticeably quieter than Wednesday.
Highs: Upper 20s to Low 30s
Wind gusts: 25–35 mph
Conditions: Mostly dry with stubborn clouds; a few flurries possible but no accumulation
Airports around the Midwest may see fewer weather delays locally, but ripple effects from the Great Lakes system could still influence schedules.
Looking ahead
Dig deeper:
Another system is expected this weekend with the potential for widespread accumulating snow, which could bring additional travel slowdowns Saturday into Sunday.
Lighter snow may linger into Sunday as even colder air pours in behind the system. Sunday night and Monday will be the coldest stretch, with lows near zero and subzero wind chills likely.
Snow Arrives Saturday Morning
