This weekend the weather will not be the greatest for Thanksgiving, but hopefully it will not keep flights from getting out of O’Hare or cause traffic on the highways for those of you driving to your family and friends’ houses.

Weather for Chicago, IL Wind: NE at 21 mph Wed Thu Fri Sat |
It looks like are having rain today (Wednesday) as everyone tries to drive and fly out of town and then the temperatures drop on Thursday turning that rain into snow. Somehow since we have Christmas decorations up before Thanksgiving so it’s only appropriate that we get snow on Thanksgiving. Leave extra time for traffic when it snows, people have forgotten how to drive when it is snowing since last year and this may be this winter’s first slippery road snow day. This shouldn’t really accumulate a lot since it’s just flurries, expect less than an inch.
On Black Friday for the After Thanksgiving Day sales, it will be cold and sunny but below freezing around 30 degrees fahrenheit. So take the light jacket that is easier to carry while running through stores, but wear a hat and some gloves because you don’t want to get too cold.
