Thanksgiving will bring active weather changes across the country, the Northeast will escape the worst of it.

Thanksgiving will bring a chance for rain showers and fairly mild temps.  But a shift to much colder will quickly follow. 


 Early next week will be fairly mild in our area, so enjoy it, while it lasts.  Tuesday, about 60 degrees, but by Friday, only the low 40's.  Perhaps the 30's next weekend.


The northern Rockies and plains states will be dealing with snow and falling temperatures, for Thanksgiving travel Tuesday and Wednesday.  Sub - zero temps may reach into the Rockies.


Black Friday and the weekend following will be cold and blustery, with Lake effect snows likely in the Great Lakes states.  The charts show about 7 days of lake effect snows beginning Friday next week.  Look out Buffalo, Rochester, Western PA.


New Jersey will see chilly and breezy conditions, the weekend following Thanksgiving.  The potential for quite cold weather is also there.  No snow yet, but Sussex County might see flurries, certainly the Poconos will see snow showers.


Indications are that December or at least the early portion of the month, will be cold.
