Thanksgiving Day's early rain

If you are running in a Turkey Trot prepare for wet conditions.

If there's going to be an end to the rain on Thanksgiving, it will start to come to an end around the midday hours on Thursday with a breezy, but dry afternoon.

Rain totals of a half-inch to 1 inch are expected with temperatures hovering close to 50° all day.

A cold front will come through late Thursday afternoon so the wind will pick up as the rain ends.

Wintry temps starting on Black Friday

Friday will be breezy, chilly and dry with highs only reaching the mid-40s.

A genuine shot of winter cold arrives just in time for the weekend and the first full week of December.
