00:00Well, believe it or not, we're counting it down to Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is

00:03coming up faster than many of us can even imagine. Here's coming up next

00:07Thursday and it's a late Thanksgiving, but as we move forward into the forecast

00:12we want to prepare you for your travel plans. There's a great number of people

00:15are going to be traveling this year according to our friends at AAA and we

00:19were looking at a pair of storms Thanksgiving week. This is kind of the

00:22broad brush big picture look at the week at once with a storm track that will

00:26keep the Southern Plains, the Ohio Valley and the Northeast wetter. We

00:30haven't seen a pattern like this for some time. January like chill expands

00:34across the Northern Plains, mainly dry in the West which will probably be a

00:37welcome thing after the rarely heavy rain that we're gonna face late this

00:40week. As we look at the days leading up to Thanksgiving, here's your holiday

00:44pre Thanksgiving travel forecast the Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. One

00:49of those storms will be moving up the Ohio Valley, mainly dry for the East

00:52Coast, a little chilly, a little brisk up into New England and certainly blustery

00:56and chilly into the Northern Plains and we will still be active early in the

01:00week here with the final stage of around a series of Pacific storms bringing rain,

01:05mountain snow and a mix across much of the Great Basin. But behind that we do

01:09find a little bit of a change. Here's Thanksgiving Day. This is when

01:12California dries out, cool but dry, even into San Francisco. Some mixed

01:17precipitation into parts of the Northwest down into the Great Basin. But

01:20here's the next storm coming into the Ohio Valley and some thunderstorms down

01:24in the lower Mississippi Valley. We have to keep an eye out for them. And then

01:28post Thanksgiving, Black Friday and the following weekend, we're calling it the

01:32holiday shopping forecast. Whether you're doing it behind the computer or

01:35heading out to the mall or maybe your favorite local businesses, we're gonna

01:39have some rain to contend with and some thunderstorms in the southeast, periods

01:42of rain for the Ohio Valley in the Northeast. We're gonna begin to chip

01:45away at this drought with this new pattern and look at the snow in the

01:48northern Rockies. The wheels of change are in motion.
