Giving thanks to Ma' Nature!

If the higher prices at the pumps or the extra police cruisers on our roads didn't already tip you off...this weekend is indeed a long weekend. So how about the weather? Thanksgiving weekend is always a gamble when it comes to the weather simply because fall is a transitional season. During fall, warm air is in a constant battle with the cold polar air that is advancing from the north. The weather changes dramatically with every swing of the jet stream...but that doesn't look to be the case this long weekend. Looking at the latest NAM forecast model run above, the weather this weekend will be "brought to you by the "etter H" as a nice, stable area of high pressure settles in for a few days. So how long will this "high" stick around?
Likely for the entire long weekend and beyond. As you can see above, I'm not forecasting any rain until next Wednesay, although Thanksgiving Monday could be a bit cloudy at times, I expect lots of sunshine for two of the three days. Aside from a chilly overnight (-2 degrees) Saturday into Sunday, the weekend is looking almost perfect! On behalf of everyone here at CHEX I wish you all the best this Thanksgiving. Let's all enjoy a safe and happy holiday!
