Hmmm, the long range models are painting a very interesting picture for Thanksgiving, so does that mean the chance for a little winter weather? We're still a week out, but this system definitely bears watching. The last several computer model runs have been consistent with dropping a cold air mass across the central United States for Wednesday.

These are 850 mb temperatures for Thanksgiving morning. Notice the freezing line that sits right along I-44. Now look at the second graphic. This is the computer model depiction of where the precipitation will fall. Our viewing area sits very close to the freezing line, but that could mean that some winter precipitation has the chance to fall just to the northwest of our area. The GFS is notorious for being way too cold with temperatures, so I'm not ready to believe in this scenario quite yet. Keep checking back for more blog entries.
