Steve Borecky's Outlook from the Storm Team Weather Center

Rain Holding Off, Chilly Turkey Day...

For the third straight Saturday we saw plenty of sun across the region as high pressure spins overhead. Temperatures didn't hit the 70s like the past two Saturdays, but it was still mild with highs across the area around 60. Skies will remain clear overnight with lows around 37.

A storm system along the Gulf coast has slowed it's eastward progress and will allow us to see another warm, sunny day Sunday. We will slowly see clouds increasing throughout the day, especially in the coalfields, but the warm sun will allow afternoon temps to top out at 61. A few scattered showers are possible south overnight. Low 41.

Sunrise is at 7:17am Monday for all you hunters out there heading out into the fields for the opening of Gun Buck Season. With a start near 40, you are going to want the jacket. As we move through the day, most of the rain will stay to the south and east, with just a few showers north of I-64. Any rain should be light in intensity. I suggest having the rain gear close by just incase, but chances are you will remain dry. High 58.

We're in between systems on Tuesday, so skies will be partly cloudy with afternoon highs near 60. By Wednesday a cold front arrives, bringing rain and chilly temperatures for Thanksgiving. The rain will move in from west to east Wednesday morning, with the front passing by the afternoon. This means things will be soggy for the big travel day, so take your time on the roads. High 54.

Thanksgiving will bring scattered showers and highs only around 46. A few snow showers are possible, especially in the higher elevations overnight and through Friday. The lowlands will mainly see rain with a few snow flakes mixing in. High 45 Friday. With the wet roads and overnight lows in the upper 20s to low 30s, black ice could be a problem Friday and Saturday mornings, so be careful if you are heading out early to shop. Partly cloudy and warmer Saturday. High 50.

A final note for ski lovers....The mild November has pushed back the opening of Snowshoe Mountain for skiing. The resort had planned to open Wednesday, but only four inches of snow has fallen on the mountain since October. The weather also has not been cold enough to support sustained snowmaking on the mountain. The resort plans to open the ski season Friday, December 4th, weather permitting. West Virginia's three other ski resorts don't plan to open until Dec. 10 or 11.
