Thanksgiving week rain or snow chances

I’m still watching Thanksgiving week rain and snow chances. The forecast models are literally all over the map on a possible system next week.

In theory, we will get more forecast model clarity this weekend as we draw closer to next week.

In theory. Stay tuned.
