An area of high pressure will move off the North Carolina coast and is forecast to set up a southwesterly flow in most locations. Chilly air will offer a little resistance around the Great Lakes with a swath of snow and spotty ice from northern Minnesota to parts of Michigan, northern Pennsylvania and western New York. Warmer air is forecast to hold in the Southwest and build over Texas and the central and southern Plains to the Ohio Valley.

There were squabbles here and there, and elbows got thrown, but the Friday morning crowds appeared smaller than usual and less frenzied, in part because manyAmericanstookadvan- tageofstores'earlieropening hourstodotheirshoppingon Thanksgiving Day. That might be hard to stomach for people wor- ried about commercial en- croachment on Thanksgiv- ing. But it is good news for bargain-hunters who hate crowds. Whether it's good news for retailers remains to be seen. Sales estimates for the start of the holiday shop- ping season will start trick- ling out later in the week- end. Stores such as Wal-Mart and Target reported brisk Thanksgiving crowds. The colossal Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota, said it drew 100,000 people between 5 p.m. Thursday and 1 a.m. Friday, nearly what it draws over a typi- cal full day. On Friday, plenty of shoppers were out, but it wasn't elbow-to-elbow, said Moody's analyst Mi- chael Zucchero, at a mall in northern Connecticut. "Traffic seems a little light," he said. "Stores being open last night takes away some of the early birds." Brooklyn residents Paul and Mary Phillips shopped at Target, Old Navy and Marshalls on Friday at the Atlantic Terminal Mall in New York City. They picked DVD box sets for $5, marked down from $45, and speak- ers for $19, down from $50. They didn't even have to wait in line. "Because stores were open on Thursday, they're not as crowded now," Paul Phillips said. There were scattered re- ports of shopper scuffles and arrests. In addition, protests were planned na- tionwide over minimum- wage laws and the grand jury decision in Ferguson, Missouri. Protesters interrupted holiday shopping at major stores around St. Louis to vent their anger over the de- cision not to indict the po- lice officer who shot and killed Michael Brown. At least 200 protesters gathered at the Galleria Mall in Richmond Heights, about 10 miles south of Fer- guson. Several stores low- ered their security doors or locked outside entrances as protests sprawled onto the floor while chanting, "Stop shopping and join the movement." In Chicago, about 200 people demonstrated in a plaza near the historic wa- ter tower along Michigan Avenue, calling on people to boycott Black Friday shop- ping to show their solidar- ity with protesters in Fer- guson. Other disruptions: Best Buy's website went down on Friday morning for about an hour. Spokesman Jeff Shelman said "a concen- trated spike in mobile traf- fic" prompted the company to temporarily shut down the site. Online monitoring firm Dynatrace said Cabe- la's, Foot Locker and J.C. Penney also had website problems. Online shopping, espe- cially on phones and tab- lets, may be siphoning off some shoppers from the malls. IBM, which tracks online sales, said they rose 8 per- cent compared with Black Friday last year as of 3 p.m. E.T., with much-increased shopping on mobile devices. In the stores, Toys R Us and Target executives said shoppers seem to be buy- ing more than just the door- busters and are filling their carts with items not on sale. That's a sign that lower gas prices and an improving job picture are making shop- pers more confident about opening their wallets.
