<P>The day before Thanksgiving can at times be a traveling nightmare, but not this year. As we head into Thanksgiving eve much of the nation looks quiet. Of course that's good news because I know many of you will be heading out to feast and give thanks.
<P>The one exception will be across the Pacific Northwest. If your travels take you to the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, or Montana check before you head out. Again, the rest of the nation will be just peachy.
<P>In fact, as you begin preparing for your meal mother-nature will begin serving something of her own for us in southwest Florida - nice, crisp autumn air. 
<P>Why?
<P>A series of cold fronts will roll through the south, and behind each front lays a touch of refreshing air. Oh, and these will be dry fronts so you need not to worry about rain for the next seven days! 
<P>Wednesday, Thanksgiving Day, Black Friday, and the holiday weekend will all be dry. We'll even pull out the sun!
<P>Trust me, you'll not only see the change behind each front, but you'll feel it, too. Temperatures will be in the lower 50s during the mornings, and then they'll rebound to the low 70s for daytime highs.
