Special Turkey Day Weather Alert
Turkeys will thaw in the morning, and then warm in the oven to an afternoon high near 190 degrees.
The kitchen will turn hot and humid. If you bother the cook, be ready for a severe squall or a 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. 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 34 degrees 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.
