WEATHER HEADLINES

WFMZ's Karin Mallett is back on the road, bringing us a new season of her popular series "One Tank Trip." Each week, she'll take us somewhere with a unique flavor of the season. And, the best part is, you'll still be able to make a roundtrip on one tank of gas or less. Click on the "Read more..." link below for more information on each of Karin's trips from summer, spring, the holiday season and the fall.  Do you have an idea for a "One Tank Trip" destination?  Simply click here to email your suggestion to Karin.
