Forecast 8 is tracking a still developing storm system for the holiday weekend.  Right now the leading edge is forecast to arrive by mid-day Wednesday.  With clear skies overnight, it will be cold with lows in the 20s.  As the moisture starts to move north, it will run into this cold air.  This will lead to the chance for the rain mixing with freezing rain across parts of Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska.  It will be close enough that Randy Ollis will track the temperature and the moisture closely on Daybreak on WISH-TV at 5 am Wednesday.

Temperatures will warm just enough for a rain event Wednesday afternoon and evening.  Some of this rain will be heavy at times and the timing is bad.  Wednesday is the busy travel day before Thanksgiving.  You can stay informed here at wishtv.com and on 24 Hour News 8 all day.

Rain chances will continue Wednesday nigh and into Thanksgiving Day.  There is the threat for heavy rain.  In fact rainfall potential is 2-4 inches.  There will be adjustments to these numbers, as we get new computer model information every 6 hours.

Colder air arrives on Friday and a few flurries will be possible, with high temperatures only in the 30s.
