60-Degree Thanksgiving Predicted for Plainfield

Wow; do you believe it? Your Thanksgiving football could be shirts-and-skins as temperatures will remain remarkably warm throughout this week.

Call it global warming, call it coincidence, but even as we march towards the end of November—a time for snow, some might say!—we are instead seeing temperatures that look more like outdoor-sports weather.

If your Thanksgiving Day plans involve football in a Plainfield park, you will likely be enjoying some quite warm weather for the season; don't wear more than a T-shirt. And in general, keep the heavy clothing packed away ... at least until Friday night (projected at below freezing.)

Thursday's forecast calls for a partly sunny, breezy day with winds of up to 20 mph, plus a high of 61 degrees during the day.
