Snow May Spice Up Your Thanksgiving Dinner in Chicago

Chicago, get ready for a cool Thanksgiving! The National Weather Service forecasts temperatures in the mid-30s on the holiday. A weather system sweeping through on Wednesday could bring rain or snow, lasting into Thursday. The heaviest snowfall is likely Wednesday afternoon and night. Travelers might face delays, depending on the snowfall amount.

Meteorologists Kevin Birk and Ricky Castro say there's uncertainty about the exact amount of snow. It could be minimal or up to a few inches, which could disrupt travel. The week of Thanksgiving will be colder than the recent mild temperatures in the low 50s. A cold front on Monday will drop temperatures. By the end of November, expect highs in the 20s and lows in the 10s. December looks even colder, with chances for more snow. This marks a change from recent mild Decembers. So, bundle up, Chicagoans!
