Weather: Cold Turkey

Today: A high pressure system will dominate the east coast for much of the day. Clouds will move in later in the afternoon out of the west. High around 40°F (4°C) with winds out of the west from 10 to 15 mph(16 to 24 kph).

Tonight: Continued increasing cloudiness, with a 30 percent chance of snow showers overnight. Variable cloudiness into Wednesday morning. Low near 32°F (0°C).

Wednesday: Warmer as air moves up from the south ahead of a frontal system. A respite from the cold could cause problems for Turkey day, however. Mostly cloudy, high around 50°F (10°C).

Thanksgiving Day: As cool as the leftovers in the fridge. Temperatures will drop back down to seasonably colder levels. Overcast skies will dominate and snow showers are likely. High around 45°F (7°C), overnight lows around 30°F (-1°C).

The rest of the long weekend looks to be clearer and more pleasant, with highs near 50°F (10°C) for Friday and Saturday and partly sunny skies.
