Josh's Forecast: A quiet start to the holiday week, multiple "wintry possibilities" to follow

Temperatures will be easy to take to begin the week ahead of a potential widespread wintry mix Thanksgiving Day followed by lake effect and a caliber of chill we haven't seen all season long late week

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — The new week starts with more clouds. The next storm system to make its approach promises to bring showers by later Monday evening. Showers exit the area on Tuesday, but it will turn breezy behind the wave of Low pressure and cold front that swings across Western New York. All is quiet for Wednesday. We are still keeping an eye on the Thanksgiving Day holiday time frame, as there are growing signs of a transition to a colder pattern that could include everything from some kind of winter storm that will impact the Northeast and Great Lakes to areas of lake effect snow. Even if the winter storm is a miss to our south, which is a scenario that's looking more and more likely, there will be no escaping the cold air, the caliber of which will easily trigger plumes of lake effect snow off of both lakes Erie and Ontario for the end of the week and into the weekend.
