It's gonna cool down again in the 10 day. Let's talk about the bigger issue, which is going to be the rain tomorrow. So we do have cloudy skies all weekend, obviously a fog out there this morning too. So that's creating some visibility issues. But on Sunday, it is a steady rain for a good chunk of the day. So today is the pick out of the weekend. There'll be some peaks of sunshine this afternoon around lunch, but not much of it. Temperatures are in the mid ff maybe even upper fifties if we get enough sunshine, but I would not count on the sun. It's gonna be a possibility that we, you got a few breaks in the clouds, but most of the day is pretty cloudy. This is 5 p.m. the sun is already set and temperatures are still in the fifties. So you don't need the heavy winter jacket. Just a light jacket. Today will do dinner time is mainly dry, but after 89 o'clock, there could be some spritzes and stray showers. It's a all day full LG wash out on Sunday, light rain in the morning, check this out. Temperatures are in the fifties in the morning, that's above average for the afternoon at this point in the year. But we don't warm up on Sunday. It's gonna stay 50 all day with this very persistent, very steady and very damp rain that just sticks around until I'd say about six o'clock or so. So, if you have any brunch lunch, early dinner plans Sunday, I just don't see a lot of opportunity for dry time for you here. So we're gonna keep that in mind. Temperatures are not bad all the way through Monday. We're hanging out in the fifties. Today's high of 56 is the warmest that we've actually seen since mid November morning. Lows are in the forties, so no worries about frost. No worries about cold when you're stepping out the door. Tuesday morning, we're back down to 36. So that's kind of setting the stage for a cooler upcoming work week, 46 there, 43 on Wednesday and 42 on Thursday. It's not the coldest set we've seen, but it is definitely pretty chilly for that first night of Hanukkah. Expected to definitely feel like it is December, but we rebound a little bit next weekend with another chance for some rain. Just a little heads up on that. But the work week does look dry. Not that we want to talk about the work week on a Saturday, but that's how it's shaping up

Blow off some steam at NY Axe Throwing Range in Selden

Alright. If you're looking for something fun to do this weekend or maybe you just want to blow off some steam. We've got the place for you. We definitely do. And this week's road trip close to home, I'll take you to New York Acts in Selden on this road trip. Close to home, we have hit the bull's eye on fun. Welcome to New York Acts in Selden ax throwing has become a popular activity over the last few years and this venue opened up in September. Everyone 11 years and older is welcome to grab an ax and give it a try. They do use real sharp axes so they offer safety training and a personal coach, especially for the larger groups. They host birthday and bachelor parties, even corporate team building events. It's been great, tremendous success from the beginning. We, we thought it would be good, but it's just taken off. This is the first digital ax throwing experience in New York. The target is digitally projected onto the wall which means you can change it up from a standard bullseye to even tic tac toe. Pretty much. There's about 10 different games to pick from So it changes the experience. You're not just throwing at the same redundant target over and over and it's not just ax throwing. You can also try your hand at Safe Archery. It has this Velcro tip but still shoots like a standard arrow. The Selden location also offers a full bar and snacks like mini pizzas and pretzels. On the weekend, we try to make it somewhat like a nightclub vibe, the music, the lights are down, the music's pumping. And for those of you in Nassau, you can still hit the target at their location in Farmingdale at New York. Acts in Selden on this road trip, close to home. I'm Mexi Egland.
