Several states in the Midwest and Northeast will be affected by severe snowstorms on Thanksgiving Day, according to forecasts by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Weather Service.
The snowstorms, the result of an Arctic swell that will hit the United States from Canada, will be in Washington, Idaho, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Western New York. Minnesota will be hit hardest, with at least six inches of snow and wind speeds of 45 miles per hour forecast for the Twin Cities region of Minneapolis and St. Paul, where the temperature with wind chill on Thanksgiving Day will be just 12 degrees Fahrenheit.
