Windy Conditions and Thanksgiving Weather Changes

The weekend weather across various parts of the United States is marked by breezy to windy conditions and fluctuating temperatures, with significant changes expected as the week progresses. Northeastern New Jersey experiences gusts up to 51 mph, prompting a hazardous weather outlook with potential power outages, and a mix of rain and snow is anticipated around Thanksgiving. In Kansas City, Sunday will be the mildest day with highs in the 60s, before colder air arrives Monday, bringing temperatures down to the low 40s. Lubbock, Texas anticipates a warm Sunday with highs possibly reaching the 80s before a cold front arrives Monday. Across the Midwest and Northeast, windy conditions will persist, with temperatures expected to drop by Monday, and rain or snow likely around Thanksgiving. Despite the rain, drought conditions persist in some areas, particularly in New Jersey, although a late-week storm could provide some relief.
