It could be a soggy Thanksgiving holiday.

That's according to Ed Shimon at the National Weather Service in Lincoln told the Hart Media Group the outlooks are showing a strong signal for above normal temperatures and a likelihood of above normal precipitation.

While some parts of central Illinois saw some accumulating snow last weekend, Shimon indicates not to rule out more snow the last weekend of November. He indicates Illinois can average an inch of snow in November.

Shimon indicates we really need the moisture that is projected for the end of the month. The drought monitor is getting pretty serious for some parts of central and east-central Illinois.

We'll have more with Shimon at the Hart Media Group later this week on the winter outlooks and what kind of wet finish to November and how much moisture during the winter we might need to snap out of this drought in Illinois.
