...PRE THANKSGIVING TO THANKSGIVING DAY STORM TO PUSH FROM THE MID  
MISSISSIPPI/OHIO VALLEY TODAY INTO THE NORTHEAST ON THURSDAY  
SPREADING RAINFALL AND NEW ENGLAND SNOWFALL IN ITS VICINITY...  
 
...INCREASINGLY BELOW AVERAGE TEMPERATURES SPILL OUT INTO THE  
GREAT PLAINS AND MISSISSIPPI VALLEY THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK...  
 
...LAKE EFFECT SNOWS CONTINUE AND WILL EXPAND AND INTENSIFY WITH

A DYNAMIC MID-LATITUDE CYCLONE TRACKS THROUGH THE MISSISSIPPI  
VALLEY, TENNESSEE VALLEY, UPPER OHIO VALLEY, AND NEAR THE NEW  
ENGLAND COAST THROUGH THANKSGIVING DAY. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND  
THUNDERSTORMS SPREAD INTO THE EAST COAST TONIGHT AND PROGRESSIVELY  
SHIFT EASTWARD. A SWATH OF MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOWFALL IS LIKELY TO  
DEVELOP ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE INTERIOR NORTHEAST -- WINTER STORM  
WATCHES ARE IN EFFECT FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL NEW ENGLAND RELATED  
TO THE HEAVY SNOW THREAT.  
 
ELSEWHERE, LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS THE UPPER GREAT LAKES  
MAY YIELD ANYWHERE FROM 4-8 INCHES OVER THE NORTHERN COASTLINE OF  
THE UPPER PENINSULA OF MICHIGAN AS WELL AS NORTHERN PARTS OF THE  
LOWER PENINSULA. A DISTURBANCE ALOFT WILL ALLOW FOR THE  
DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW COLD FRONT LATE ON THANKSGIVING WHICH MOVES  
EAST AND SOUTH AHEAD OF A STRONG AND COLD SURFACE HIGH. IN THE  
WAKE OF THIS FRONT, AS TEMPERATURES COOL FURTHER, LAKE EFFECT  
SNOWS SHOULD EXPAND AND INTENSIFY AS THEY INTERACT WITH RECORD  
WARM GREAT LAKES TEMPERATURES FOR SO LATE NOVEMBER. FLORIDA WILL  
REMAIN MILD TO WARM.
