For football fans on Thanksgiving, a full helping of pigskin can serve as the perfect side dish to their turkey dinner, with a cornucopia of high school, college and professional football games to enjoy throughout the day.
While two of the three NFL games on Thanksgiving will be played in domed stadiums and sheltered from the elements, including Philadelphia at Dallas and Chicago at Detroit, there will be plenty of high school football games to be played, and many will do so in cold conditions.
"The coldest part of the U.S. will be the far northern Plains and Upper Midwest, where parts of the Dakotas to Minnesota and northern Wisconsin will have highs in single digits and teens," said AccuWeather.com Meteorologist Andy Mussoline. "Cold air will also be across the Great Lakes, but it will not be as harsh."
Parts of the Northeast and Great Lakes will receive snow according to Mussoline.
"A steady snow will taper off across far northern New England Thanksgiving morning," Mussoline said. "Snow showers will encompass much of the Great Lakes as lake-effect snow kicks in once again, but excessive snowfall in the region is not anticipated."
The only NFL game scheduled to be played in an open stadium will be in Santa Clara, California, as the San Francisco 49ers host the Seattle Seahawks. For the 5:30 p.m. PDT kickoff, temperatures will be in the mid-50s with cloudy skies.
