(And Dinner)
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 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 sand-
witches 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.
