First Alert Forecast: tracking rain chances ahead of Thanksgiving

WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) - Great to see you on this Monday evening! Your First Alert Forecast highlights brisk 60s to cool off into the 50s on this Monday night.

The next cold front will support growing rain chances from 30% Monday night, 50% Tuesday, 80% Tuesday night, and 70% Wednesday. Be sure to budget a few extra minutes if you’re traveling ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday however, Your First Alert Weather Team is leaning against hoisting a First Alert Action Day for this setup given its mostly nighttime timing.

Following the front: expect a dry, crisp Thanksgiving with daytime temperatures in the 50s to around 60 and nice and lazy breezes that will tend not to shimmy your turkey fryer. Check with your First Alert Weather Team for updates on rain chances that could develop later in the holiday weekend.
