Weather Outlook for Your Road Trip to Knoxville to Cheer on Bama

The Alabama Crimson Tide is on the road this weekend headed to Knoxville, Tennessee, or as my friends like to call the town, ObKNOXville, spinning the word obnoxious. If you are making the 5-hour drive or catching a flight to cheer on Bama, here is what you can expect from the weather.
