already getting good snow moving into the upper mississippi valley towards the u.p. of michigan, northern wisconsin. we have a couple of thin clouds. this front is going through. even though the precipitation will stay to the north, it will kick up the winds. first the southwest and then the northwest. and that will cool us down. that's system number one. it's a pretty active pattern as you look up off the coast there. 27 on the mountain tonight. 44 in mesquite. those will be your morning low temperatures. high t afternoon, pahrump, 63. boulder city at 67. laughlin, the lake and death valley, skying toward the 70s. for the las vegas valley a few clouds tonight. 48 degrees will be the low temperature. the rebound for the afternoon tomorrow, 68 degrees. but that breeze does start jumping in the afternoon. about 3:00, 4:00, once the front goes through, it will shift which means we'll be cooler on thanksgiving. some breezes in thanksgiving will be in the morning. they will dry down in the weekend, we're looking for the temperatures to stay in the low 60s through saturday

that's pulling some snow ba now and will end up in the u.p. of michigan eventually. then the back side of that is lake effect snow. the end of this weekend and the beginning of next week, monday and tuesday, that will be in the northeast. friends up there getting a taste of winter. for us the 60s tonight. any outdoor plans are fine weather-wise. we will be in the upper 50s to 60s tomorrow morning. not that cold, if you will. about where we have been if not a degree or two warmer tomorrow morning than what we have been so upper 50s to near 60 and dry and lots of sunshine as well, too. if you are out and about this weekend keep in mind ragweed, chenopod, and composites as well are the main allergens. they will be in the moderate range. low to moderate at times. keeping that moderate range this time of year. saturday's fantastic. beach day. boating day. first half of the day if you are doing the boats because this is coming in. northwest winds will get going before this. it will get bumpy in the aften for land stuff we are looking great. a couple of showers. look at thi

snow in the u.p., northern michigan, milwaukee, and then the east on thanksgiving. if you are traveling that day, it's not going to be terrible and most of it will be rain. now lets go to the flip-flop side of that. let's go tropical. 80 plus degree water down here. that right there, guys, is tropical storm otto. the 15th named storm of the season. it has 50-mile-per-hour winds. it's stationary. the track is tough at first. eventually it's coming west. look at this. by wednesday we could have a hurricane on our hands. not for us. we won't deal with it. it's headed central america. active there in the tropics. the water here is way too cold for that. if we saw anything, it would have to form and move up. fortunately, this is moving to the west. all right. weekend forecast. there is a front coming through friday evening. we are going in be in the upper 70s to 80 wednesday, thursday, friday. yeah. the weekend is a little bit cooler in the mid-70s. black friday looks fantastic. if fact, there you go, thanksgiving 80 degrees with sunshine. friday morning in the upper 50s

and there are record highs from the gulf coast all the way up to the u.p. of michigan. we're going to have a day that starts with a little bit of cloud cover and not as cold. we'll have the 20s out there. sunrise is 7:19 and as the morning progresses, we should work in bright day. and tomorrow is the pick of the week if you want to get outside. we're in the 60s by lunchtime. and we stay in the 60s through the afternoon. and if we can get more sunshine i wouldn't be surprised if a few towns could hit 70. 67 in boston. manchester, 64 degrees. and a southwesterly breeze will develop and a good day to be outdoors, no question about that. and thursday, things are more complicated. the warm front which is the back southwest during wednesday night and thursday morning. that means we start the day much cooler on thursday. it nudges just a little bit farther north and the warmest temperatures will be along and south of the pike. but once you're in new hampshire and far northern massachusetts a good part of the day on thursday, we'll stay in the 40s and 50s. we'll get rain shower

now they have blizzard and winter storm warnings going on throughout minnesota and u.p. of mitch been a wind advisories and it's the wind we will noting first as we get into the changes. and, of course, the thunderstorms severe thunderstorm warning stretching from fort wayne through indianapolis. and the storms are moving at 70 miles per hour as they rake off to the east. that is basically where the cold front is. and as it moves east it will now i want you to see here. the state line divides of course ohio and pennsylvania. pennsylvania is where all the lake snow watches warnings and advisories are but remember that's where they have a lot of terrain and higher terrain and they are likely to be able to sustain the snow accumulations. where as we are are a little lower in elevations and things will melt a little bit. could be a lake michigan connection into western ohio tomorrow. that's a bit of a wild card to throw in there. but for right now i think these this is starting tomorrow evening continuing through sunday and wrapping up on monday. 3 to 6 inches in the highest

a lot of midwest, portions of the u.p. of michigan next. the storm center itself goes across southern canada. that's where the bulk of the snow will fall. we'll deal with a cold front. you can see where this cold air is pooling. rapid city at 20. chicago this morning in the 60s. now chicago down to 40 degrees. that's on the way for new england. tomorrow's issue is not from that cold front. it's from this storm way out here that will try the toss a couple clouds into new england. late tonight, and through the and for tomorrow, we'll have a little bit of nine in the morning but otherwise clouds will fill in. i do think there will be more sunshine through the day the further west you travel. temps by between 51 and 57. coolest at the coastline with these clouds. so at 7:00 a.m., here are the clouds already on to the south shore and the south coast, not into metro west. they are working through metro boston. they advance you time line, you notice that dull gray stays along the 95 corridor and out to sea. hills will get into the clouds we tomorr

snow is shifting into wisconsin, the u.p., michigan, delays in minneapolis earlier and rain around dallas, probably causing the delay. no delays here, great weather. high pressure continues to dominate. we'll have another beautiful day tomorrow. today atlantic basin. that's kind of amazing to say this time of year almost at thanksgiving, not impossible. the sea surface temperatures are warm enough. this is the latest forming hurricane in this part of the caribbean in left. it's a category 1, no effect on the -- history. it's a category 1, no effect on the bay area or really the u.s., but panama is getting some very strong squalls that will likely continue. you can see the burst of convection near panama, some of central america into the pacific. if there is no change in the advisories, it will continue to keep that name otto. 79 degrees for wednesday and getting into thursday 81 degrees, friday 81 as well. rain chances are low through this period including on thanksgiving day itself. there's a front coming through on saturday as i mentioned.

snow northern parts of michigan, u.p.igan, northern michigan and northern wisconsin, as well. it pulls to the east tomorrow. so thanksgiving day, a little problematic, but most of that rain kind of weakens a bit which is good news. so today maybe delays this afternoon with the energy moving through the chicago area. the east coast, you're look good. west coast maybe some delays later this afternoon in portland. and up towards seattle. by tomorrow i think maybe in towards the san francisco area as the rain makes its way in toward central california. here is your thanksgiving day, though. we're look great across the plains. we'll sete tons of sunshine. southeast, looking really nice. unfortunately, no rain. we need the rain there. and then the northeast just scattered showers and a little bit of snow across interior sections. and all of the action is out across the west which is great news, we need any precipitation that we can get. so something to be thankful for out west. >> absolutely. happy thanksgiving. >>> a milestone

go further toward the north and the rain mixes with snow, going to parts of michigan, especially the u.p., they're getting some snow. minneapolis with a little bit of snow and then as you go back out i know typically you go through the country to show you what's going on but it is a big travel day so i wanted to give you heads up on that. we have some snow around reno and the higher he will va -- elevations with rain down along the surface but i don't see anything that's so big, so impactful that you get a weather related cancelled flight but a couple of places might be slowed weather. this front is not going to do much. the very first view is going to go to the north and just kind of whimper out. we're looking at great weather for today, for tomorrow and i'm thinking even by friday, we get this chance of touching 80 degrees. and then suddenly, this little front just kind of drops down and cools us off a bit for the weekend. when i say cools us off, meaning it just brings our highs back to the mid 70s so it will be like a five degree tpe be about it. but quiet and dry as we go all the wa

lakes, we do have a few showers, across michigan heading to new york and then some snow across the u.p. of michigan and also up to maine seeing a few snow flurries as well. back closer to home, we're watching a cold front working down across the state and see any shower activity, just kind of dissipates. we clear out the skies as we go giving a little bit lower humidity as we get into sunday and monday of next week. so the forecast for today, really looks pretty nice. partly cloudy skies, maybe a touch on the humid side during the afternoon with the daytime high of 81 degrees. then for tonight, scattered clouds, overnight low of 65. for tomorrow, another nice looking day. daytime high of 80 degrees. high tide at 12:11 this afternoon. high tide, next one this evening. winds, they're primarily out of the northerly direction. doing about 10 to 15 knots. seven-day forecast keeps the daytime highs in the upper 70s and we start to dry things out a little bit with some slightly lower humidity as we go through the first part of next week. we have a third cold front as we get into the middle of

further north, we do have some snow in parts of minnesota, the u.p. of michigan and northern parts of wisconsin and then back out to the west as well. i don't see any significant weather delays, although obviously it's never picture perfect going to thanksgiving day travel. just call ahead and just check it out yourself. 78 degrees for a high temperature for today. i'm spots touch 80. really for the next two, three afternoons. 78 to around 80 degrees and then i mention that few degrees cool he were. that's it. saturday, sunday you're looking at highs in the mid 70s. >>vanessa: very pleasant. thank you. on the roads, we have an update just a small update here to the university parkway and cattleman crash. this was reported as well. we're learning it's eastbound but it's only affecting the left-turn lane so it shouldn't incredibly. just be careful passing on byment overall look at some major roadways and travel times, looking awesome so enjoy and be safe heading out the door. >>laura: this is a great story. ellen degeneres was one of the 21 people to ge

5 inches of snow being a could you please lating for a few spots northern wisconsin in towards the u.pof michigan. and airport delays, we have a little bit of a delay in newark and l.a.x. just due to volume. the northeast is good. chicago is fine. atlanta, the other big airport looking good. here is what happens with this storm. most of the energy moves toward the north. unfortunately, not getting the precipitation to the south. but this will cause a little bit of delays at least on the roids around parts of the western great lakes and ohio valley today. and tomorrow, that system moves a little bit towards the east. so we might see a delay around chicago later on, some delays in the pacific northwest. tomorrow mostly driving, problems out across the west coast with those storms moving on in. and the east, the storm will pull off across the east coast, so scattered showers, a little bit of drizzle. nothing that should cause any big problems. but will just get you in the mood for what is coming the day after thanksgiving which is christmas. >> and we'll talk about that one another time.

the northern parts of minnesota in towards the arrowhead of wisconsin, the u.p. of michigan. that's one storm. the bigger storm is moving in across areas to the west and it will bring a lot of rain and really significant mountain snow to the next number of days. i think we'll see the moisture make its way by the end of the weekend into southern california. and this is great news. any precipitation we can get out west at the beginning here of the rainy season there is really good news. as far as the airports go, we have some mild delays in minneapolis. we have had some delays around o'hare. and then in towards newark there are some delays because of wind. we have seen delays at lax also. most of that is just due to volume as well as some construction going on. this system though that we have been watching move across the great lakes is going to pull off to the north. the center of low pressure. that means most of the moisture doesn't make it to the southeast where we desperately need it unfortunately, but that also means we're going to see it weaken a little bit by the time it
