Thanksgiving Forecast: Steep Temp Drop To Hit Illinois

ILLINOIS — Those who were holding out hope for a snowy Thanksgiving Day may be disappointed to learn that most areas will not see any snow, according to an updated forecast from the National Weather Service.

There are a few chances for precipitation through Thursday, mostly lake effect showers for northeast Illinois and northwest Indiana, but "most locations won't see snow accumulations," the weather service said.

There may not be any snow, but we can expect temperatures to turn colder for the holiday weekend.

Wednesday will have a high of 46, and Thursday will have a high of 39. Temps will start to turn colder Thursday night, and Friday only has a high of 29 degrees, according to the weather service.

The cold continues on Saturday and Sunday, which both have a high of 28 degrees. Temperatures will drop into the teens at night.

The snow also looks to stay away this weekend, with just a small chance of flakes on Saturday south of Interstate 80, according to the weather service.
