Thanksgiving Weather Forecast
 
In the pre-Thanksgiving rush, we have received an early weather report
from our in-house weather reporters.  
 
Turkeys will thaw in the morning, then warm in the oven to an afternoon
high near 190F. The kitchen will turn hot and humid, and if you bother
the cook, be ready for a severe squall or cold shoulder. 
 
During the late afternoon and evening, the cold front of a knife will
slice through the turkey, causing an accumulation of one to two inches on
plates. Mashed potatoes will drift across one side while cranberry sauce
creates slippery spots on the other. Please pass the gravy. 
 
A weight watch and indigestion warning have been issued for the entire
area, with increased stuffiness around the beltway. During the evening,
the turkey will diminish and taper off to leftovers, dropping to a low of
34F in the refrigerator. 
 
Looking ahead to Friday and Saturday, high pressure to eat sandwiches
will be established. Flurries of leftovers can be expected both days with
a 50 percent chance of scattered soup late in the day. We expect a
warming trend where soup develops. By early next week, eating pressure
will be low as the only wish left will be the bone.
