Will the Heartland see its first snow before Thanksgiving? The latest outlook issued October 24, 2025, points to a milder-than-usual start to November, with daytime highs running several degrees above average through the month’s second week. That warmth should delay any early-season snow for most communities across the region.
However, forecasters are keeping an eye on a late-month cold front that could swing through and briefly open the door to wintry weather. If that colder air arrives on schedule, a short window for light flurries is possible in parts of northern Missouri or eastern Nebraska between November 20 and 25.
At this stage, no significant storms are on the radar. Even so, autumn in the Heartland is known for quick pivots, and conditions can change rapidly as Thanksgiving approaches. Travelers should watch updates closely and check forecasts frequently in the days leading up to holiday departures.
For now, the pattern favors comfortable, dry fall weather across much of the region. But with colder air lurking toward month’s end, winter may be waiting just on the other side of the holiday.
