There it is. Right. But pat very best wishes from us here at News 12. That's, that's, that's awesome. Happy birthday. Ok, let's see where we're getting uh to the forecast. As we go through the next couple of days, we are going to be looking for, let's say mainly cloudy skies for the first part of the overnight hours. Then as we get closer to date break, we'll start to see the skies begin to clear. So right now we're sitting at 37 we'll watch the temperatures drop down into the upper twenties. There is going to be a bit of a wind chill. So the numbers here that you're looking at those are the forecasted lows take 10 degrees off of that. That's likely what it's going to feel like waking up tomorrow morning. We're also going to keep an eye on the opportunity for a few scattered snow showers to move across the area. I mean, you saw some snow showers earlier today, but there wasn't enough oomph in the atmosphere to actually get that snow to collect tomorrow. There is a possibility that we might actually see some gusty winds moving some of these lake enhanced snow showers towards New Jersey. Otherwise the cold air will continue for tonight going into tomorrow and then this fair weather system moves away. We start to see the temperatures begin to warm for the second half of the work week going into the upcoming weekend. But with that warmth comes the opportunity for a wind driven rain. On Sunday, Sunday does not look like a great end to the upcoming weekend. Let me, let me stress that. I think Sunday afternoon is cloudy but not necessarily raining the rain or at least the steady, more consistent rain is likely going to up here in New Jersey, probably sometime after about five o'clock in the evening. And then the weather really starts going downhill for Sunday night, going in a very early Monday morning. So on the chillier side for tomorrow, temperatures begin to rebound on Friday with mainly sunny skies. Saturday starts off with sunshine. We end up with some cloud coverage but still a dry day. Most of Sunday early afternoon is cloudy. The rain doesn't start until after about dinner time. But once it starts to pick up, there's an opportunity for a 1 to 2 inch rainfall. There is also an opportunity to see maybe winds gusting to between 4060 miles an hour, especially at the shoreline. That system goes away and we've got some beautiful weather for next week and temperatures are on the cold side of seasonable. I'll have more details on that in just moments. Sounds good, Dave. Thank you, cycling for a suspect tonight and three things to know.

Now, the question I have about the mayor is that the weather down in DC, a warmer than the weather here because it's got to be at least a little bit better. It is a little bit warmer in DC. But you know, we are dealing with that really cold pocket of air that is taking us just for one more day. But we are going to turn our eyes for the weekend an early look for what are some potential impacts for this storm. So some thunderstorms in December, that's what is possible for Sunday evening into Monday, steady rain isolated flooding high winds of 40 MPH or even stronger that can knock down some decorations even cause some scattered power outages and then temperatures start to crash. So we're forecasting a high of 61 on Sunday by Monday night. It's going to be in the 30. So that's something that we need to monitor in terms of tomorrow. Another very cold start, temperatures will be near 29 feeling much colder than that high. Tomorrow will be in the low forties, feeling like the mid thirties throughout the day. A few flurries possible by the early afternoon drying out and clouds clearing out by Friday. Seeing more of that sunshine seasonable fill with highs in the upper forties. Saturday will actually be the pick of the week. We're going to see that beautiful sunshine highs in the mid fifties and then we're watching for some stormy weather on Sunday.

Well, winter right around the corner. And will we be seeing any bitter cold temperatures in the Hudson Valley? That is the question for Addison Kevin. I happen to have the answer one more day. Then we're gonna get a little bit better out there. But will we be staying that way for long? You know, that's a different story. But let's break it down for you over the course of the next few mornings where after we go past tomorrow morning, Thursday morning, where temperatures will be feeling the ops by Friday morning, it'll be feeling, feeling better, I should say. And Saturday, we're certainly not feeling that chill in the air as milder air is moving this way. In fact, Saturday is going to be the brighter of the two weekend days ahead. It's a 5050 split. Saturday is a gem Sunday, a little stormy but overnight and then towards your Thursday, we still keep that cold air around. You may see a flurry of two come on in including going around the sunset time frame. As Hanukkah begins, we'll be dealing with temperatures around 37 degrees, feeling around the low thirties and then moving on into the evening hours. Any little bit of flurry activity that was around earlier is gone. Now, the pick of the week it's Saturday, 55 degrees. Temperatures running 10 degrees plus above average, it'll be a nice, mild feeling in the air for southerly flow coming up this way. But we'll watch a system move in towards our region for Sunday continuously. Bringing up that southerly flow, push and more moisture up. This way, the winds will start to increase and we'll get batches of rain coming on in through Sunday afternoon through the evening hours, wrapping up by early Monday morning. So any of those holiday lights that are around your household, maybe some loose trees as well. They may be impacted by some of those gusty winds. Potentially. On the way for your Thursday morning, we're waking up in Newb with a temperature of fuel in around 21 degrees out towards White Plains of 24. There are a few passing snow showers trying to come on down this way, but they'll dry out, fizzle out as the air is moving on down from the northwest to a southeast. Skies are coming out nicely for Friday morning. We'll just see a mix of sun and clouds going out through the day on Friday before this system starts to inch closer towards the east coast. By Saturday. It's pushing into the Ohio River Valley down towards the Deep South. It's heading up towards our vicinity for your day on Sunday. But notice before noon it's just on our doorstep. So the first half of your Sunday looking pretty good. Second half, not so much. That's why we got the red box right there and we'll watch this system be leaving our area early Monday morning with some breezy winds to follow.

Now and I've got some more lights to hang up. I'm gonna wait a couple of days. You're gonna have to wait. You may have to wait until next week. Sunday and Monday, we're gonna have some strong winds, especially on the South Shore. Could be looking at winds where it's near 50 MPH. Yeah, that's or secure them down real good. And we're gonna be watching before we get to that stormy weather, cold weather conditions out here for this morning. Take a look 26 in Smithtown. Our friends in Bay Shore, 3031 and Hempstead. Good morning, Valley Stream at 32 degrees. 32. Right now, I'm on talk 29. Currently in Bridge Hampton. We have a wind right about 10 MPH right now and that's making it feel even colder to start off. Our day. Wind chills are in the twenties, low twenties, 20 right now in Islip. So getting out to work this morning, the bus stop, kids waiting, bundle up, it's cold. We do have some in the clouds now, but it will become mostly cloudy. Look at the snow showers out to the west. This is what we're watching now, it approaches Long Island. It kind of weakens so we can't rule out, uh, a stray rain or snow shower for today. Otherwise it's more clouds and the big story now is cold. Look at our temperatures around 145 or right around 39 to 40. We top out to a high of 41 3 o'clock. Same thing, mostly cloudy skies, chance of that passing rain or snow shower. Now, at 445 the storm of Hanukkah Sun goes down. Now, at 425 generally dry, we're looking at some clouds. Temperatures, mid thirties into the overnight. We're ok. Temperatures starting out Friday morning, thirties, Friday afternoon, forties, mid to upper forties, warmer weather starts Friday and in the rain right now, late Sunday afternoon, rain and then Sunday night and Monday morning, moderate to heavy rain and the potential of strong damage in winds, potential of 40 maybe 50 MPH wind gusts along the South shore. So you'll have to secure your Christmas decorations and anything else that can blow around forties for today, for your high, that chance of a rain or snow shower into your afternoon thirties tonight with partly cloudy skies again, warm on Saturday, 55 rain and warm Sunday into Monday morning. Ok.

Joining us. Now we decided it's a purple day. We match match. It's gonna be a good day. Yeah, it's also the start of Hanukkah and we've got, you were saying earlier, the coldest temperatures we've seen this week. Yeah, just like last week, Wednesday into Thursday, it was a very cold morning. We're dealing with that same cold for us today. Now, just keep that in mind as you make your way out the door, you're gonna want to bundle up, you're gonna need that layer, that extra layer, that sweatshirt, the hat, the gloves. Because while we're gonna try to get into the upper some spots may try to see 40 we're gonna feel like the thirties throughout the day. That wind chill is still gonna stay locked in and we're not getting out of this pattern until maybe the later party or tomorrow. So again, get into this routine tomorrow morning, you're looking at another cold start, maybe not quite as cold, but for tonight, temperatures dropping off down into the twenties, for areas up north, we'll try to hold on to thirties for areas along the shoreline. A lot of cloud cover for today. We're not seeing a lot of sunshine to help warm things up. So that's part of why we're going to continue to work with this chilly weather. And again, we're sitting anywhere from 10, almost 15 degrees cooler than where we should be for this time of year. Now, we're not going to rule out a few flakes or two like we saw yesterday for a lot of us here across Western Connecticut. But as we push forward into your tomorrow, better chance at some sunshine for the start of the day, numbers are going to be in the lower to mid thirties. We'll climb into the lower forties. It's really going to be your afternoon. You'll start to feel a little bit more relief, not quite as blustery as what we're going to deal with for you today. But look ahead to your Saturday, Saturday afternoon. Those numbers are in the mid f. It's going to be a nice day, mixture of sun and clouds, enjoy it because unfortunately, we do have again, a very strong wind driven system pushing in and we also have some colder air behind it. So once we work away into our Sunday where we're watching for some steady to heavy rain, we also have strong gusty damaging winds, potentially, maybe want to, you know, tie down those Christmas decorations or bring them in. That's how strong some of these winds are expected to get here across the region. So we're going to keep our eye on your Sunday into your Monday and we're really going to watch for some heavy rain and some potentially damaging.

be Well: Back-to-school crafts

Many kids might be a little nervous to go back to school and a great way to ease those jitters is to have some fun crafting with them. So, here to show us some simple budget, friendly crafting you can do with your entire family is the creator of Crazy Mom creations. Lisa. T Thank you so much for being here. Good morning. Thanks for having me. They have some pretty awesome things that you can do. What age group are we talking about with these craft projects? Uh Primarily elementary age, maybe can garden through six. OK? And a lot of these things we could just get at the Dollar store, right? All of these things came from the Dollar store. OK. So tell us what this first project is. Um So this is a pencil holder that we made with popsicle sticks and the base of it is a vegetable can. OK? Everyone has in their home. So we're gonna try to make one and all you did is you put a can in the center here, right? Any can and then we just surround it. What, what are these popsicle sticks? These are popsicle sticks that we painted in the colors of the pencils and all you really need is a hot glue gun, right? That's it. Now, next up, we have looks like these little bus frames. Yes, that is so cute. It's like the front of a school bus. Ok. So what is this made up? So that is made again of popsicle sticks. We used eight popsicle sticks in the yellow border. A silver one and one for the black. Now, how do you hang these up? So you can either attach magnets, which is what we did here on ours. Ok. Again with the, and that will go on to your refrigerator or you can take a piece of twine which comes from the dollar tree and just hang it on the back. So next, and the final object we're making is, is an apple, an apple for your teacher? Oh, ok. Now, what is this made of, what are these? This is just a dollar tree wood cut out and you paint at the back. We painted it red just in case we missed a spot. We took tissue paper and we just crinkled it up. Oh, that's fun. Yeah, that, I mean, kids love busting stuff and crinkling stuff up. So you just roll it into a really small ball and then just stick them on. You can use the hot glue, you can also use the glue stick careful. All right. Well, thank you so much. These are great ideas. We appreciate you Lisa for showing us all these fun ideas. Now, get active with your kids and create some crafting projects, right?
