A "warm" Thanksgiving: It might get above 50

Compared to recent days, Thanksgiving looks to be sunny and comparatively mild, with low to mid 50s possible. Neither Roanoke nor Blacksburg have topped 50 since seemingly balmy highs of 65 and 61, respectively, back on Nov. 15. The overall trend for the next couple of weeks continues to be below-normal temperatures, but it appears we will moderate some over the next few days. So maybe we'll have typical late autumn chill entering the holiday season rather than January-like cold.
