NOAA’s National Weather Service is predicting a calm weather for much of the country during the week of Thanksgiving. The eastern U.S. will be dry and cool on Thanksgiving Day, and the West will likely be warmer than normal.

The northwestern U.S. could be an exception, where occasional rain and wet snow could occur in the mountains. Also, locations from the Great Lakes to New England might experience clouds and showers, including possible lake-effect snow and colder temps this week.
