Very Early Thanksgiving Forecast: Chance Of Snow

SEATTLE, WA - You might've already seen the map. It shows the U.S. mostly covered in a blue-and-white blob. The name of the map: "Historical probability of a snowy Thanksgiving."

If you look closely, you see Puget Sound covered in a very dark shade of blue - and that's a good thing. The map indicates the historical probability of snow hitting us on Thanksgiving is between just 3 and 10 percent.

Right now, forecasts indicate the jet stream will plunge down into the Midwest and Northeast bringing frigid temperatures and a high probability for snow. So if you're traveling to see relatives in Chicago or Buffalo, be prepared for possible flight delays.

The long-range forecast for the Pacific Northwest for Thanksgiving? Lots of rain, although the forecast might change.

There's a 3 to 10 percent chance it will.
