On Thanksgiving Day itself, conditions appear to be mostly sunny albeit with a slight chance of snow and a high near 41 degrees. The weather should turn partly cloudy by evening with a low around 24. While Friday also promises mostly sunny skies, the narrative of a high near 42 suggests that celebrants may find reprieve from the inclement weather just in time for the holiday.
