Thanksgiving weather looking much better than 2015 for Oklahoma

The heaviest rain should be in Louisiana and Arkansas.

Clear skies will continue through the night time. If you have travel plans for Thanksgiving you may have to contend with rain, but remember we are still in a drought and could really use the rain! Travel impacts are likely into Thanksgiving morning. This will be the wettest day of the week. Between a tenth and quarter-inch of rain is possible. Higher elevations such as La Pine and Sunriver could see some snow on Thanksgiving Day.

Just a mix of sun and clouds, with daytime highs in the 40s, according to Millersville University and AccuWeather. After passage showers will gradually taper off tonight and Monday.

There’s another chance of snow in the La Crosse area Thursday night with the potential for some accumulation. A weak weather system will be moving eastward across the area, but it should be warm enough for rain showers (not snow) from Chicago through Cleveland through Pittsburgh. Blue Canyon had picked up around three inches of new snow as of 4 a.m.

SNOW LEVELS: Snow levels drop to pass level Tuesday night and stay there through most of the week.

Winter weather advisories and a winter storm watch have been issued in Montana and parts of that state could see up to a foot of snow. Snow showers early Tuesday followed by some late day clearing.

Tuesday: Rain, mainly after 1 p.m. Wednesday night will be very windy. Low around 42. Breezy, with a southeast wind 9 to 14 miles per hour becoming west 15 to 20 miles per hour after midnight. Any snowfall will transition completely to rain by Thursday morning, the NWS reports. Winds could gust as high as 31 miles per hour.

Sunday is another big travel day and right now it appears to be featuring dry and chilly conditions, but no weather trouble.
