Thanksgiving is going to be great with sunshine and 69 degrees after a morning low of 38. Scattered showers will return to the area from Friday through Sunday and it gets a little cooler with highs going from the low-60s on Friday to the mid-50s on Sunday. I think we could see three or four nights next week with temperatures at or below freezing.
