A few showers for Thanksgiving Day

PEORIA (25 News Now) - Happy Thanksgiving! A cloudy day is on tap, with highs in the low 50s. While it will be cooler than it was yesterday, high temperatures are still expected to run a few degrees above average this afternoon. A weak disturbance will bring the potential for a few rain showers at various times today. Any shower activity will be light, with only a few hundredths of an inch of total precipitation expected. Cloudy and a little rainy...sounds like good football watching weather!

Dry weather and sunshine returns for Friday, which is good news for those planning to attend the Santa Parade in Peoria. Highs will climb into the low 50s Friday afternoon. Further warming is forecast for Saturday, with highs in the mid 50s.

There have been several challenges with the timing of the incoming weekend weather maker. For now, there appears to be better consensus that any wet weather will remain out of the forecast until late Saturday evening. Rain chances will then continue through Sunday morning, before exiting the region by the end of the extended holiday weekend.

We’re tracking another weather system for the middle of the next week. The medium range forecast data suggests that a wintry mix of rain and snow will be possible to close out the month of November on Wednesday. Stay tuned!
