Forecasted high temperatures for Thanksgiving look to be well below freezing. The featured chart presents the high and low temperature for Thanksgiving's past at Des Moines. This should be the coldest day since 1995 and only warmer than way back in 1985. Another big story are the driving conditions over the upper midwest with icey and snowy expected to cause travel difficulties. For Iowa, these impacts look to be limited over the northern half of the state. Regardless of the cold and ice, have a great Thanksgiving!
