The Farmers' Almanac predicts a tough Thanksgiving for Zone 4, including Missouri and Iowa, with rain, snow, and cold temperatures. Find out how this may impact your holiday plans.
When you live in the Midwest, there's always the possibility that weather will throw you a surprise on or around Thanksgiving. One of the Farmer's Almanacs has just shared their prediction for what the Land of Lincoln can expect once we get to the season when all the turkeys are nervous.
It's almost like a game show in Missouri. It's the guessing game where everybody makes a prediction about when the state will get its first real snowfall. Farmer's Almanac thinks it knows the answer about whether or not Missouri will get that snow on or before Thanksgiving in their brand new outlook.
It's not exactly breaking news that all of Missouri was hot on Tuesday, August 27. However, there was one place in the state that is now confirmed to have tied a 143-year-old high temperature record.
We already knew that a heat wave was incoming for Missouri and much of the Midwest early next week, but now the National Weather Service is sounding the alarm that temperatures and the heat index are now expected to rise to dangerous levels.
It must be tiring to be constantly reminded that you aren't "normal", you'll never be "normal" the way some people define it, and it must feel like the world just doesn't care if you're not like everyone else.
Hold on a second. I need to catch my breath from laughing (or was that crying?) after I just saw that Farmer's Almanac is predicting snow for Illinois. Yes, I checked. It's still August. What the?
Kaboom. If you were close enough to a Missouri highway vehicle, that would have been the deafening sound when lightning completely unloaded 200 million volts in a microsecond.
