STORY 1: U.S. gas prices are falling and could hit the cheapest Thanksgiving day price since 2020
U.S. drivers are set to enjoy the lowest Thanksgiving gas prices since 2020, with the national average at $3.31 per gallon, 36 cents lower than 2022. Gas prices have fallen for nine consecutive weeks, reaching below $3 a gallon in 11 states. The downward trend may continue, potentially dropping below last winter's $3.05 per gallon, depending on OPEC's decision on a production cut. Over 65,000 gas stations offer prices at $2.99 or less, contributing to an estimated $1.2 billion savings for Americans during Thanksgiving week. Despite favorable gas prices, 20% of respondents face budget constraints due to inflation in other areas.
STORY 2: Winter Wonderland
Step into the enchanting Winter Wonderland of Christmas at The Mill on Etowah in Cherokee County. This event promises festive delights for the whole family. Immerse yourself in the Christmas Market, hosting over two hundred craft vendors from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Don't miss the chance to meet Mr. & Mrs. Claus between 11:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Revel in the excitement of college football on the big screen, savor delicious food, and glide across the ice at Rink on the River, open from 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. The pinnacle of the celebration is the Tree Lighting ceremony with Santa at 7:00 p.m. This festive extravaganza is hosted at The Mill on Etowah, promising a day filled with enchantment and joy for all.
STORY 3: Traffic
During Thanksgiving weekend, the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) will temporarily halt lane closures on major roads and interstates near shopping areas to ease holiday traffic. Effective from Sunday at 10 pm, Nov. 26, this proactive step aims to improve traffic flow. Similar restrictions will apply during Christmas and New Year's holidays. While construction-related closures will pause, caution is advised near work zones, as some long-term closures might persist for safety. Incident-related lane closures could occur at any time. Drivers should stay updated via 511ga.org, follow road signs, and be cautious around work zones. Heavy traffic is expected today from 2 to 7 p.m., so drivers are urged to stay alert, buckle up, plan ahead, and obey Move-Over laws for emergency vehicles' safety.

STORY 4: Holiday Travel at the Airport
Holiday travelers at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, beware of challenges this week. Parking shortages, hour-long security lines, and construction disruptions await. To navigate smoothly, arrive 3 hours early during peak times, expect parking hurdles due to ongoing construction, and prep for long bag lines. Security delays may occur due to lane closures and upgrades. Opt for alternative parking like MARTA or reservations at off-airport lots for a stress-free experience. Pack snacks, as concession lines might be lengthy. Stay updated on security wait times for a hassle-free journey at the world's busiest airport.
STORY 5: WEATHER
Get ready for an exciting Saturday filled with college football action! Daytime temperatures will hit a high of 58°F with a slight chance of precipitation. The skies will feature a mix of clouds, ranging from partly to mostly cloudy, and a gentle breeze from the northeast at 5 to 10 mph. As night falls, temperatures cool to around 40°F, with a minimal chance of precipitation. Look for a few clouds in the night sky, accompanied by light and variable winds from the east-northeast at 4 mph. Whether you're cheering for your team or enjoying the crisp fall atmosphere, it's shaping up to be a fantastic day for football.
