A milder pattern ahead next week for the Heartland
Pre-Thanksgiving travel weather will be mostly favorable for the remainder of Wednesday, with warm weather covering the western half of the country and precipitation limited to the Northwest and a few areas along the Atlantic Coast. Thanksgiving Day should feature record-setting warmth across the High Plains and Intermountain West, with temperatures expected to top 70º as far north as Montana and surpass the 90-degree mark in portions of the Desert Southwest. Thanksgiving precipitation should be limited to the Northwest and the lower Southeast. Northwestern wetness will persist through week’s end, with 5-day totals reaching 2 to 12 inches from the Cascades westward. However, little or no precipitation will fall during the next 5 days across the Plains, Southwest, Midwest, mid-South, and interior Southeast. Elsewhere, mild weather will dominate much of the country, although cool conditions will return across the East during the weekend.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of warmer-than-normal weather nationwide, except for near- to below-normal temperatures in the Atlantic Coast States. Meanwhile, wetter-than-normal conditions from the northern Rockies to Lake Superior should contrast with near- to below-normal precipitation across the remainder of the U.S.
