And we have a High Pressure system influencing the area and then watching a cold front sliding in from west to east. So some showers expected by this upcoming weekend, wider perspective. Not much going on locally but that cold front that i am tracking for here. And notice some snow showers in parts of the central plains. So again, dry right now, some developing clouds, perhaps some drizzle later today. And milder conditions with highs topping off in the upper 50s the to low 60s. So a very nice thanksgiving indeed.

Reporter plus bread and but ther and a drink and pie for desert, 2500 calories but theres more. The left overs make a great midnight snack and a nice turkey sandwich, a little stuffing and a drink, add another 700 calories. We can be taking up to 5,000 calories at one meal which is worth of your intake. Reporter and a strategy to after thanksgiving. Fill up the plate, mostly with vegetables so that takes up a large portion of the meal. Filling up on some protein from lean turkey and having a little bit of the side dish of some sweet potatoes, stuffing or other carbs and try to have the protein first, vegetables second and say the starch for desert. Reporter and another approach, portion control. Dont do seconds or thirds. Have a couple bite of pie, you dont need a whole slice. And a little exercise in the those calories. Happy thanksgiving. I dont know, i need a whole slice. Exactly. The whole thing. As do i. Count on thanksgiving. Still to come, ignoring the rules of the road. Give cyclists more freedom.
