you can see a few areas of green on the radar. it is mostly dry right now. that is just sprinkles, but it is something to keep in mind as we go into the day. there is a better chance we could see more substantial rain. a storm system off to our west producing showers in west virginia and kentucky right now. in fact, heavy rain in the western half of ken -- kentucky out ahead of this cold front. cold air in place ahead of this storm. ahead of this warm air ushering in humid air. >> this is the time of year everyone is looking to travel to their holiday destinations.

maximum. so if you send some correspondence, let's say an e-mail, and like you said, maybe a handwritten note another week and a half later. if you haven't heard anything by that point -- you don't want to be a pest. you know? it is unfosht. we have all seen it. sometimes the company calls back six months later and says are you interested? so create a positive impreags but don't overstate your welcome. >> because it may be fitting in the pile at the right time. >> exactly. >> thank you, john. have a good thanksgiving. enjoy that turkey. >> stay with us. barcs joins us with a pet looking for a good home. first a look at last night's winning lottery numbers. ♪ we were skipping stones and letting go ♪
