Sun Gives Way To Clouds Today

SUNNY SATURDAY START: We have a nice Saturday morning going with bright sunshine. Temperatures are in the lower 40's at 8:25 am in Cookeville, Tennessee. Expect clouds to move in later as a low pressure system approaches from the southwest. The high is expected to be around 61°. Rain chances tonight, low 42°, rain for Sunday, high only 54° and the rain continues on Sunday night and Monday with a low of 44° on Sunday night and 55° on Monday.

THANKSGIVING FORECAST: Expect below normal temperatures all next week with highs on Thanksgiving only in the upper 40's. The good news is we expect sunshine on Turkey Day

FROM THAT 'WHAT' DEPARTMENT: Have you seen the latest 'Climate Change' (global warming) story? It says and I quote 'Climate Change will force poor women into prostitution.' I was stunned to read this. The entire story can be seen here. I will let you form your own opinion about it, but lets just say I think it is Bovine Scatology.
