A Weather Smorgasbord For Thanksgiving


Skies mostly covered by high cirrus this morning, but with a few low clouds hanging on top of the Catalinas. Photo down at bottom shows a snowy morning at Houghton, Michigan.

The forecast map of hazards from the NWS forecast offices this morning (below) indicates a bit of everything for much of western two-thirds of the country.



GFS Forecast above (from 06 UTC last night) is for the 500 mb level at noon tomorrow, with a deep and cold trough across the West. The GEFS plumes for the airport below (also from 06 UTC) forecast a damp Thanksgiving Day for here, followed by a more significant event on Friday.



Here are two precipitation forecasts for rest of week: above is from 06 UTC GFS and is valid through midnight Friday, and below is from 06 UTC WRF-GFS and is valid through 5:00 pm MST on Friday. 

As per all the national news stories - definitely not a good Holiday travel situation.
