It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Thanksgiving is tomorrow which kicks off the 2017 holiday season. It’s time to stuff the turkey, spend time with loved ones and mentally prepare for Black Friday shopping. Those who plan to camp outside of stores late Thursday and early Friday should bundle up for the chilly morning. According to the National Weather Service, the temperature is predicted to reach down to 34 degrees Thursday night and be in the mid to high 30s in the morning; however it will continue to rise Friday with a high near 58 degrees. With only a small chance of rain, it looks like Black Friday won’t be blackened by storm clouds. This year the North Georgia Premium Outlets will be open from 6 p.m. on Thanksgiving until 2 a.m. Friday. The mall will reopen at 6 a.m. for Black Friday and remain open until 10 p.m.
