Thanksgiving week forecast turns milder after early-season nor'easter
The National Weather Service and NOAA's Climate Prediction Center forecast above-average temperatures across most of the United States for Thanksgiving week, with scattered rain and only isolated chances of severe weather. Earlier in the week, a modest nor'easter moved up the East Coast, delivering the season’s first snow to New England, New York and the Appalachians, as well as lake-effect snow and sub-freezing temperatures around the Great Lakes.
The Weather Channel reported accumulating snow in interior Northeast cities, rain along I-95 and isolated tornadoes in Delaware and New Jersey, while NBC News noted that more than a foot of snow fell in parts of New York. Meteorologists warned the storm would bring the coldest temperatures in six months for millions east of the Mississippi and set the stage for a weekend cold front that could produce the first widespread freeze.
