Cold Wave Delivers Early Fall Chill in Kingsport Area
Residents woke to a fall like chill as temps plunged to a mid-summer low of 54.2 degrees between 3 and 5 am, the coldest for the season since the Weather Bureau opened at McKellar airport. The four day cold snap saw a 27.8 degree drop in 24 hours, with highs near 82 yesterday. The forecast calls for a shifting pattern as a North Atlantic air mass cools the region, replacing the heat wave moving east from the plains, with improving conditions expected into the Great Lakes region. In Phoenix, Robert Burgunder returns to the witness stand to continue testimony on killings of two auto salesmen, denying involvement and suggesting insanity as a potential motive. His cross-examination begins as he reiterates there is only one reason to live if not insane.
