4:44 am
with sunshine, by wednesday, however, this storm system looks like it will be a coastal storm system. so let me show you how the future snow amounts telling it, this is model, i want to make that perfectly clear, right out of the gate. but, it is looking as though if we see impressive snowfall, we would be talking about 4 inches or more, it would be from the i95 corridor on north and west with the heaviest amounts expected through, say, your allentown area, lehigh valley, pocono region. so that's generally where we would end up finding i think potential for something that would need to be shoveled away by thursday morning. but that said, it does appear that the holiday and "black friday" themselves are very, very quiet. in the meantime, back to the here and now, i told but 24 hour temperature difference, look how much warmer it is. it is 24, 25 degrees warmer than this same time yesterday. so really mild start. nice dose of spring for you with the spring showers basically, eventually some sun, it will be breezy, you will notice that, but the high hit 72, my goodness, would

4:50 am
that could potentially change this thursday, while americans are celebrating thanksgiving, opek leaders will be meeting in vienna, and they're considering cutting oil production. that would essentially boost prices, in recent months, the us is actually to produce a lot more oil domestically. we'll take it for now. helped bring the nationwide average way below the $3 mark, which means, holiday travel will be a lot less expense they have year. ukee, erika? >> jill, of course, we're just few days from thanksgiving. now for people who can't get enough of the turkey and stuffing, now they can also have it for dessert? as the little guy used to say, what you talking about, jill? >> love it. all right, an ice cream shop in portland has whipped up six new thanksgiving theme flavors. they include cranberry walnut stuffing and salted carmel thanksgiving turkey. that last flavor made with real turkey fat and fried
