ERIE, PA – No major issues if traveling leading up to Thanksgiving. It will be nice on Monday, with light rain arriving by Tuesday, but it will be too warm for anything but rain. For the big travel day, expect morning rain tapering to spotty showers on Wednesday afternoon. It will be windy and quite mild initially on Wednesday morning, then a sharp cold front will sweep through the Great Lakes, with falling temperatures.
Lake effect snow develops on Wednesday night into Thanksgiving Day. Winds will be southwest initially, with heavier lake effect snow remaining offshore or brushing lakeshores on Wednesday night. As the winds become west to northwesterly, expect lake effect snow to shift onshore for Thanksgiving…..
