Messy Thanksgiving travel expected with snow, rain on the way

OHIO — A cold and blustery Thanksgiving day on tap. High temperatures will top out in the lower to mid 30s, with wind chills in the 20s. 

Much of the state will be dry and even see some sunshine, especially across the southwest, but the northeast will have to battle with lake-effect snow showers through late Friday. Snow totals will vary greatly depending on where we see some of the heaviest snow bands. 6+ inches of snow is not out of the question, but snow totals have started to trend down a bit. 

If you’re heading out to grab some Black Friday deals, you’re going to want to layer up! Wind chills early Friday will be in the lower and middle teens. The cold weather will hang around all day with lake-effect snow showers for the northeast.

We’ll get a quick break from the weather on Saturday with active weather building back in on Sunday. A storm system will bring messy weather statewide which will surely impact holiday travel.

We’ll do it all over again on Tuesday with another chance for rain and snow.
