Mostly sunny skies with a few clouds again in the morning butter then as we head into wednesday this High Pressure continues to work up to the northeast. That means temperatures up to where we should be for this time of the year, 53 degrees mostly sunny skies and this High Pressure is very broad so we will be storm free on wednesday east of the rockies so great weather for traveling and that High Pressure will bring us winds out of the southwest as we head through thanksgiving and black friday and that brings us a dramatic warmup. So the exclusive accuweather 7day forecast, loads of sunshine tomorrow. Still chilly, though, the high only forty nine degrees. Thats 4 degrees below average. On wednesday if youre traveling no major problems, dry condition and seasonal conditions with a high of 53 degrees. Last year the day before thanksgiving we had a coastal storm with rain and snow.
