A Weather Feast

Happy Thanksgiving! Above is a picture of the Conner Tollhouse on Signal Mountain taken in early November on a warm afternoon. This month has been a real weather feast with everything from record highs to cold snaps, severe weather, and the recent mountain snows. And it looks like a cornucopia of weather ahead. I think there are some challenging forecast days as we move into the rest of the holiday season.
Hang onto your hats today as west winds will increase during the day and shift to the northwest this afternoon. After upper 50s to near 60, look for a plunge into the 20s for the early shoppers in the morning. Then a nice but chilly Friday with highs in the mid 40s. Saturday looks partly cloudy and mild with highs in the mid 50s. Then rainy on Sunday, with the possibility of storms Monday and Tuesday. We'll be eyeing the forecast models closely for early next week to monitor severe weather potential.
After some turkey and all the fixin's, I'm looking forward to a little football today. Probably only a little football though. I'm usually resting my eyes by naptime....uh, halftime.
