The one week a year the News 8 Weather Team can use this graphic.....Tune in at 6 and 11 this evening for your latest Thanksgiving forecast! @News_8 pic.twitter.com/ZhjU5TgKDQ— Leanne Byer (@LeanneByerwx1) November 24, 2024 As we approach Thanksgiving Day, we are closely monitoring a developing weather system that could significantly impact travel plans. While there is still considerable uncertainty regarding the exact timing and location of this system, the most recent model forecasts suggest it may track further north, raising the possibility of snowfall in some areas. We will continue to keep a close watch on this storm, especially to see if it shifts southward or intensifies as it approaches. Once this system moves out, we can expect a shift in the weather pattern. Late this week, strong northwest winds will usher in cold air from Canada, setting the stage for lake-effect snow across certain regions. At this time, the intensity and coverage of the snowfall remain uncertain, but it’s something we’ll be monitoring closely. Stay tuned for updates as we continue to track these evolving conditions.
