Good Monday, everybody. As hard as it is to believe, Thanksgiving week is upon us and the pattern continues to look colder than normal in our part of the world. This cold setup is likely to be accompanied by a dry turkey… Day. The active pattern is calming down forĀ a few days.

We are tracking two cold shots our way in the coming days. One shot arrives for the busy travel day on Wednesday, with another diving in late Saturday and Sunday. We are basically bookending the long holiday period with cold shots.

Temps today start in the 20s and hit the 40s with a mix of sun and clouds. Winds gust up on Tuesday with near normal temps ahead of our cold front. That front may have a light rain or snow shower behind it across northern Kentucky as is passes through…

The busiest travel day of the year looks dry and seasonally cold in our part of the world. Lows are in the 20s with afternoon readings in the upper 30s to low 40s…

Thanksgiving Day will start with temps deep in the 20s and end with 40s for highs. Skies stay partly cloudy.

Black Friday shoppers look to face temps dropping into the upper 20s early in the morning, with near 50 by late afternoon. Winds will gust up, but skies stay dry.

A stronger push of cold air arrives late Saturday into Sunday.

A few weeks ago, I made a post showing how the very cold air in Alaska and western Canada would start to bleed into our region. That’s been the case lately, and looks to continue. Watch the connection keep showing up on the Canadian Ensembles…

That animation goes into the start of December. You do see some breaks between the cold shots, but the connection is pretty cool to see.

I will hook you up with updates later today, so check back. Have a magnificent Monday and take care.
