Now gonna head to weather Hilda. I know it was Misty this morning. So is that like what today is gonna be like all day? Yes and not all day, I would say for the large portion of the day, especially the day part, you know, I see a lot of the showers slowly gradually exiting right around three and four o'clock. So, you know, we're gonna deal with all this wet weather in the beginning of the day. So if you do have any outdoor plans, just make sure that you grab that trusted umbrella. Uh the ways be super active, but it could be gusty at times and we're noticing the fifties. So, Newark 5152 Clifton, 50 degrees New Brunswick 51. So it's definitely gonna be that kind of like that moody, almost like Adele vibes type of day, that cozy weather that you wanna stay inside for um a light to moderate rain into this afternoon could be expected. Now, tomorrow and Wednesday throughout Wednesday, um we are expecting things to cool down a bit and we are trending dry and there is the potential here potential. Um As we continue to watch a wintery approach with some snow flakes into the mix. Wednesday, Thursday. That'll be interesting to see if it actually comes to fruition and to life with the colder temperatures and the moisture in place. We definitely need those two components. The moisture is definitely here. The rains are going to be, um, here heading into the afternoon time frame slowly taper down. But during that time frame too, we'll notice that the heaviest rain also falls between 10 and three o'clock this afternoon by three and four, we'll notice the showers exiting. We're left with just the cloudier feel and the gray skies to contend with eventually and gradual clearing into the overnight. It's pretty widespread system but there are light showers. Um, all in all some heavier rain pockets could be expected. Um, later this morning, go right around Atlantic City. It points south of Belmar as well. Nine o'clock. It kind of just stays kind of just focused more in that southern region. But of course, notice what happens as we head into 12 o'clock, we kind of almost get clipped northwestern portions of the state for the heaviest rain. And by one o'clock, we look really good, some very light showers heading into three and four. But uh overall a nice picture here with the showers exiting a little bit sooner than anticipated. So it's not, um, truly, um, going to be long lasting at all, gradual clearing when it comes to those clouds as we say good morning to Monday and drier feels all in all. So we're not expecting these showers to truly impact by all means, but by any means, rather your Monday, by Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, we notice the temperature is slowly falling back down, making it feel much more December like.

And storm watch team. Meteorologist, Alex Calamia, Alex. If folks are going out and about today for any of those winter activities, it looks like the rain is going to stop at some point. Right. Yeah. You know, I mean, but it might not be until after the day ends in a sense because sun sets before 430 now and I don't really see us getting a big break from the rain until the evening time. This is what it looks like. Right now in midtown, it's a light rain. You might actually be able to head outside without even using the umbrella. I personally have a rain jacket because I think that's kind of your best bet. This evening, we still have some sprinkles, but we are dry for a work week. I mean, I don't want to talk about the work week on a Sunday morning, but if you're looking for something positive, I've got that for you in the 10 day. Here's 9 a.m. soaker, here's lunch time, still dealing with at least light showers. You see the green is a lighter shade here so it's not as widespread. It's not as heavy of a rain. But we still have some rain at four o'clock again. It's not absolutely pouring, but it's light mist, gloomy, kind of just, you know, not good weather, but it's not going to be anything really significant as far as rainfall totals. They're very limited. So we're maybe looking at half of an inch of rain when it's all said and done. Monday morning. Lots of sunshine. Beautiful start to the day and then the clouds push in Monday afternoon and we'll have cooler temperatures. By Tuesday. We're in the upper forties now. We're in the low fifties for highs today. Not a big jump in temperature. East breeze coming in. It feels really chilly tonight. Not bad. We're in the forties again. We do have sunshine by Monday morning. So a good feel as you're getting, the kids ready for school are heading out to work. We do hit mid ff on Monday and again, no rain after today for the whole work week. So that's something to be happy about, but it will get cold Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday too, by the way, will feel like it is in the thirties.

HVFORECAST

Alex Calamia. I feel like this is the perfect Sunday to just cozy up inside. I agree because I stepped outside briefly and was like, just so surprised at how dark it was Jen. And it's because of how thick the clouds are, but the rain is becoming a lot more scattered, a lot more drizzly and then eventually it just dissipates this evening. So you might be able to actually manage to go out without an umbrella, especially after sunset. The work week is totally dry. So that makes life a lot easier for us to plan. You do see that the rain chance is still more 50% through 10 o'clock. So that does mean that odds are you're at least dealing with drizzle and a little bit of mist until close to midnight. But then the rain chance drops off pretty quickly and we're not talking about a lot of additional rain. So you see uh totals including this morning, maybe a half of an inch or so. So that's manageable. Unfortunately, because it's been raining all day, the roads are a little slick. Visibility is a little reduced. So give yourself some time to get to where you have to go temperature right all day for the lower parts of Westchester County and the rest of us. Poughkeepsie, Kingston pine bush. You're in the mid forties, you drop very briefly into the thirties. Tonight. In the Upper Hudson Valley, there could be some frost in a few cooler neighborhoods. The rest of us are warmer. We're in the forties. It looks ok. Monday a little bit cooler in orange, Ulster County in the higher elevations. Most of us though get close to 50. We have a lot of sunshine in the morning and then clouds push in around lunchtime tomorrow, but those clouds do not produce showers. It's dry a less than 10% chance of rain on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. So this is your entire work week that's looking dry, but it cools down. So we go from 52 Wednesday to 45 on Thursday. Um, actually 45 on Tuesday by Thursday though. You're at 41 degrees. So that's the coolest afternoon out of the bunch. First night of Hanukkah. You're down to 32 for that Friday morning and then we rebound to the fifties for next weekend. So it's a

And things are a little bit improved out there. We do have, uh, that steady rain finally becoming a little bit more scattered, a little bit lighter shower activity as we close off the day and move into the darker parts of the evening. So four or five o'clock, not as much activity out there, but there is still some mist. There's definitely a pretty steady east breeze all the way through midnight. So don't be surprised if there's like spritzes and drizzle until about midnight or so. Then the wind shifts west. It pushes all of that gross weather out for the Monday morning commute. You are dry, you're sunny and temperatures are in the forties. It's sunny until lunch on Monday and then we get into clouds again, but no rain this time, we still have that west wind. So it's a little too dry for rain. Temperatures are around the low fifties, which is pretty good. But then we start to get a north wind and by Tuesday we are in the thirties in the morning. That's about right for this time of the year, we're gonna continue to drop. Those temperatures are going to be a lot cooler by Wednesday and Thursday, Tuesday afternoon. We're only in the low to mid forties and we have some clouds. I think that's gonna be kind of the pattern for the whole work week. It looks like that. We have sunshine in the morning clouds in the afternoon, but there is no rain in the forecast after today. So we have still a pretty decent chance of passing a shower or two in the evening because a much lighter shower at this point, there's no heavy rain in the forecast for the rest of today and we're done with the rain for the whole entire work week. Let's talk about the work week. We're expecting 45 for a high on Tuesday, 42 Wednesday and even colder Thursday, 41. Now, if you remember last week, we were in the thirties for highs some days. So this is an improvement for sure, but it is still gonna be chilly. You'll still need the heavy winter jacket, especially in the morning. We move into the next weekend and then comes the fifties. We are not done yet with some of that milder weather.

CTFORECAST

The next generations continue to build more greenhouses growing seasonal plants in different varieties. There's hundreds of varieties of them. How do you know which ones are going to be the most successful in growing over the years? Trial and error? That hot pink is fantastic. Along with the white. It's got the uh old fashioned look to it. Is that a narrow relief? Is that a smaller brack? It's got a bigger sy in the middle, but it's a classic point set up just like the farm itself changing with the times, but with a nod to the past and in the process bringing us that traditional plant, we've all come to know as the Christmas flower. Kurt's farm is only wholesale so retail customers cannot purchase poets from them. Beautiful day on the farm, but not so much today. Hilda, what are we looking at? We're looking at some rain showers, you know, come and go. Um We're noticing that, you know, they, they kind of lighten up, especially around eight o'clock in the morning and we're like, oh, goody, we're done with it. Not so fast because then we get a little bit of more moderate, heavier pockets and play, you know, right around 10 o'clock, which county looking good. But then it's all encompassing. We're noticing widespread showers heading into the afternoon time, lunchtime as well. A quick pass there between one and two is also likely with a bit more moderate showers. Those are the yellow and deeper greens by four o'clock though. Things look so much better and some just lingering sprinkles are left right around six o'clock. The cloud will stay with us overcast guys and then nice, beautiful clearing there after as we head into Monday and Tuesday. So this is what we have on tap 50 now, cooler later and watching for snowflakes on Thursday.

be Well: How to transition your clothes from summer to fall 

In a time of transition, holding on to summer, but really starting to embrace autumn. So here to help us navigate our way through the season is Christine Monta. She's the senior editor for Social Life magazine. And we do want to start with our skin care because it changes from season to season. That's right. Elizabeth. Seasonally, you should be changing your hair care and your skin care routine. So in the summer, you should move from a lightweight moisturizer to a much heavier vitamin skin care plum, vitamin C complex moisturizer. It was created by Doctor Robert Schwartz who's a leading ocular facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon and I really feel it go in. Yeah. No, it's gonna go right into the the skin. He uses all the purest the most potent organic ingredients from sustainable resources. Kakadu plum is rich in vitamin C. Now for people that have, you know, whether it's eczema, psoriasis, those type of things, it actually gets worse in the in the summer. Sunburns can trigger eczema. And so if any of the of you viewers have this, this most irritating and painful skin condition, this product, a Ava ava rather contains hydro it's found in glaciers. All right. So let's talk about our hair because that needs very fresh. Absolutely. So, um decided to use his expertise with their skin care line and create a high functioning hair care line to give the same attention to the hair as the skin. So, from our head to our toes, let's talk about these um orthotics. So I don't know if you guys know about orthotics, but if you have any kind of foot condition, especially after the summer where you're wearing flip flops all the time, you end up really hurting your foot. You're right or you're waiting on, you're waiting on tables or um, you're golfing, you're cycling, you running are custom made to your foot. These are custom made by Doctor Steven Steer. He's a leading podiatrist on Long Island. He has several offices and he's gonna custom fit them. So it's gonna reduce the shock, it's gonna absorb the shock and it's also gonna reduce the stress and pressure to your foot. So, have you ever had a heel spur with all the aerobics? Yes. OK. So you know that if you're, if you're not walking on your foot, you're creating an instability, you're throwing your body out of alignment and this is gonna cure the problem and you put them right into your shoe and you could remove the insole like these are G slides. These are so comfortable. The G slide sneaker just on a because they have a little more support. So the great thing like this one, you know, with all the, the fur inside, they're actually all the way lying through. So they're warm and I like because you can wear it out or you could wear it up and it also has this on the bottom. So we do want to get to the clothes. And the great thing about these is they're interchangeable. They are mixed and matched and this is from and Cold Spring Harbor. The owner is so talented. You literally have five outfits here just from like a couple of different pieces of clothing. You have the denim with the A T shirt underneath and a shirt, you can mix and match. You could actually throw over this shirt over that and then there's a that. So the statement jacket is over 100 but most of the other items are all under $100 and interchangeable where you can put the white shirt over the dress or the denim skirt or dress or all those kind of things they can mix and match. And this jacket is a leather jacket. It's machine washable this Kashmir shawl. Now this can, you can either wear it as a shawl, put it over your head or you actually can make it into like a scarf and you could tie it through. Help me out here. Ok. Yeah. So there's the hole in there and then we're gonna just pull it through and there's your scarf and your beautiful transitional bag as well, which combines all different types of materials. It's just beautiful and I don't wanna forget. These um adorable custom soaps are great for the bathroom. They smell their lavender. We're set whether we wanna go into Fall or not. Shannon back to your.
