That you're out on the roads. Yes. It's just a little like, you know, quick. Oh, there it is. And a quick chuckle. Right. Um, that's exactly what we're dealing with today. It's like a quick little cold plunge and tomorrow. Really? We're back to more seasonable types. So we have to contend with these colder temperatures just a little while longer. We do get to stop freezing later on today. So eight o'clock, you'll notice temperatures really taking a deep dive, but it doesn't last for too long. Tomorrow, we wake up with fields a little bit more manageable into the twenties. And by Friday and Saturday we're back into swing with the forties and fifties as ultimate high temperatures. Now, what's gonna influence? Of course, a warmth are the winds, the winds will also tack back down heading into the afternoon today and not be as gusty. Now, they will be coming back tomorrow Thursday, but notice a direction here out of the south and southwest that also adds into a little bit more of that warmth and milder feel. Overall, we are tracking some wet weather returning once again, kind of all day, really nuisance rain. We're not looking at significant rain totals for Friday, but of course, you're gonna have to keep your umbrella handy today. It's sunny and still frigid. I know many of us are noticing that layers is really the best way to go and protect ourselves from the cold, cold temperatures into the thirties. Right around five o'clock, the clouds will fall, then they will decrease clearing up for our night sky tonight. Then we'll notice some more clouds just passing on through for Friday. Now, Friday morning, we wake up into the thirties right around lunchtime. We'll notice overcast skies and northern portions getting the showers first. A little bit of a break right between two and four o'clock and then more widespread showers. Belmar to Jackson, expecting a little bit more moderate rainfall clears out nicely by nine o'clock. All in all. We're trending a bit more. We wet, heading into December 9th.

With storm watch team, neurologist Alex Calamia. Alex. Do you do the Spotify? Unwrapped or you? Apple music replay? I do have a Spotify. I did not realize that we were already at this point in the year. It comes up so quick and I mean, that's why it feels so cold. I know. I know it's true. The weather is reminding us that. Yes, winter time is around the corner. We are chilly all the way through tomorrow morning and we are dry all day. Thursday. So Thursday actually looks pretty decent in the afternoon because temperatures rebound. But the rest of today is cold, cold, cold Friday. We're talking about rain. It's cloudy for the first half of the day and then kind of sprinkles, light showers for the evening time. It's nothing really too significant but it could get you a little wet at times and same for the weekend. It's generally a cloudy weekend. And if you have plans Saturday or Sunday evening, there will be a little bit of rain in the mix too. We're stuck in the thirties though, for the rest of today. There's no novelty snow flakes like we saw yesterday. It's too dry for that today. Temperatures are, you know, pretty similar, but the wind is not as bad today. So that helps. But it does feel like basically 30 degrees all afternoon and it feels like twenties for your Thursday morning. So this is what you're waking up to as far as wind chill goes. I'll show you the temperatures in a second, but the wind chill is what you want to pay attention to tomorrow. Still a bit of a breeze. In the afternoon, we have lots of sunshine. Highs are in the mid, upper forties, but it feels like lower forties. So that's kind of important to keep in mind you'll need the heavy jacket this evening. And tonight, actual temperatures are close to freezing this morning. It was 27 in Central Park and that was the coldest we've been since February 25th. So it's an improvement tomorrow, but not much. And then on Friday, it's going to be similar temperatures, but we've got some rain to talk about. You see, in the morning it's dry on Friday, but in the afternoon we tracking a few showers, lunchtime, very light shower chance. And then the evening commute the second half of the evening commute, especially dinner time or so, we'll see a few passing showers or maybe even a downpour, but it's pretty brief. Saturday morning should be dry. Saturday afternoon, enough cloud cover to bring in a stray shower chance, but we're keeping an eye over a 10 day for now. Sunday, that rain risk is a little bit higher in the afternoon and evening temperatures are back in the forties and fifties.

If you're heading down to add a little sparkle to the season max. Absolutely. It'll be tightly packed together too, so it'll be a little bit warmer feeling down there. But I mean, this is another cold day and just to kind of point out here today, it's the really cold feel tomorrow a bit better. Still going to be a slight chill in the air for Thursday. We expect there to be a little bit of a chill around this time of the year. Right. We're almost to December after all. But today still feeling like the twenties tomorrow will feel like the upper thirties to low forties into the afternoon. Certainly heading in the right direction tomorrow. In terms of what to wear from here on out today, temperatures at best today are in the thirties, but with that breeze at 10 to 20 MPH, you definitely need the heavy coat, the hat, the gloves, a few extra layers, make sure all the extremities are covered. So you're a bit more comfortable as you even, uh, head to and from the car and that sort of thing, uh, throughout the afternoon, especially if, if you have to be out for any prolonged stretch. If you're working outside or anything like that, you really want to make sure you're covered in multiple layers tonight tonight. Back down into the mid twenties, the wind thankfully is not too strong overnight. Tonight, it's light at around 5 to 10 MPH, but that's enough to make it feel like the upper teens to lower twenties into early tomorrow morning. So tomorrow afternoon, middle and upper forties for those actual daytime, highs winds at around 5 to 15 MPH can make it feel closer to 40 or so during the afternoon hours. But even still, that's a far cry from the teens and twenties. Those feels like temperatures have been yesterday and today. So I want to also draw your attention to some rain moving in for Friday. This is not a super soaker of a storm or anything like that on Friday and Friday even starts off dry. But as we head towards around noon time on Friday, there will be rain showers developing across the Hudson Valley and this is mostly at worst moderate rain showers. A lot of this will be light and we expect rainfall totals to be around or under a quarter of an inch with this. This is not a ton of rain, there will not be flooding and think of it as kind of off and on periods of rain from around noon time on, on a through around seven or so in the evening. But this is nothing that's going to really lead to any da damage or anything like that. No, widespread flooding. Just something that we're watching in terms of some on and off periods of showers Friday afternoon and early evening, Saturday, the drier half of the weekend, mostly cloudy, upper forties could be a couple of showers. Sunday. Better chance for showers will actually arrive on Monday if anything, Tuesday of next week, an isolated shower before drier weather pushes right back in for next Wednesday through Friday with highs mostly in the forties.

I'm meteorologist Rich Hoffman, hyperlocal weather forecast. We've had some chilly weather conditions. The last 24 hours we had some snow yesterday. So the cold weather still out there with a high of 39 degrees, kind of mostly sunny to a mixture of sun and clouds. And then tomorrow mostly sunny some afternoon clouds, a high of 48 degrees and we're looking at some fifties heading towards the weekend. So a little bit of that warmer weather coming our way after the deep chill the last 24 hours, you can see feels like temperatures have been in the twenties out there for this afternoon. So cold weather running errands leaving work bundle up. You have the cold numbers, the rest that say feels like temperatures in the twenties. The evening rush hour will be dry with a temperature around 34 degrees in corm 31 at 8 p.m. and down into the twenties when you wake up tomorrow morning. So we have one more morning of the cold weather, wind chills around 20 degrees and you can tomorrow afternoon in Riverhead at one o'clock, it's around 47 degrees sunshine, dry conditions, so some nice weather with that warm up coming away on Thursday before we start to see some wet weather for Friday, a few clouds around four this afternoon, that mixture of sun and clouds, it's breezy and it's cold and you can see now we're dry today. Tomorrow, we're looking at some nice weather. Thursday afternoon, temperatures will be in the mid forties. Some clouds come in Thursday night. And then by Friday morning, we're starting to see more clouds developing not as cold Friday morning. And then for your Friday afternoon, highs will be in the fifties tracking some wet weather. Now, Friday evening, some showers coming in and they're gone rather quickly. It's about a four hour window of some wet weather highs today are in the thirties. It's sun and clouds, it's cold twenties. Four tonight. Fifties. By the time we get towards Friday now, wet weather, more rain, Sunday into Monday.

Another check of the weather. Now with storm watch team, meteorologist, Alex Kalama. Now, Alex yesterday, people even saw some flurries earlier in the day. Are we expecting that or no, no, no flurries today? But officially Central Park did consider it a trace because you saw the flurries, even though it didn't stick, that counted as a trace of snow. But today it's just plain old cold tomorrow morning, pretty chilly too. But tomorrow afternoon, we actually rebound nicely. But then we have to watch plain old rain on Friday the afternoon and the evening you'll need the umbrella. Temperatures are back close to 50 at that point. So it's definitely not going to be anything other than rain. But hey, you know, it's something you'll want to keep in mind the weekend isn't perfect. It's cloudy, but we have a chance for some sprinkles in between those clouds as well. Overall temperatures are going to be milder for the weekend than where we've been. Let's talk today though because we're still on our Wednesday and temperatures are just about as cold as they were yesterday. But the wind is not as bad. We're expecting temperatures to slowly drop into the mid thirties for any late evening plans. It will feel like closer to freezing at that point. In fact, let's talk about the, feels like temperatures because tomorrow morning we're close to 30 on the thermometer, but it does feel like mid twenties. So again, you need the winter jacket, especially early in the day, but maybe just like a light jacket in the afternoon, it's not warm, but it feels like forties and temperatures will be a little bit closer to the 50 degree mark. So tonight, again, dropping near freezing but feels like twenties everywhere. Tomorrow, close to 50 a few spots might hit 50 but I'm expecting most of the afternoon to kind of just be around the mid forties. It's also very sunny too. Today, tomorrow, the air is dry. We really don't have any worries about rain until Friday, probably late afternoon or so. We're starting to see it push through the Bronx around noon time, Friday, just light light showers. The bulk of the rain doesn't come until the later half of the evening. Commute on Friday. This is 5 p.m. and then it's added here by Saturday morning. But you do see it is mainly cloudy on Saturday. So expect those clouds to be pretty widespread Saturday and Sunday. But the rain risk is low, maybe Saturday evening, maybe Sunday night. You see a few showers. Temperatures are not nearly as cold after we get through today though. You see we're back in the forties and fifties, which is about right for this time of the year. All right, Alex.

All right. Let's take a look outside through our community camera in Norwalk Storm Watch team. Meteorologist, Jonathan Cubit. He joins us. Now he's at Orchard Hills Elementary in Milford. Hey, Becky and the kids, they got another reminder for us. They tell us not to forget our. That's right. The coldest weather we've seen so far this season, we've gotten through the worst of it earlier on this morning. But as we progress getting into tonight, one more cold shot, now, temperatures do rebound as we head into your tomorrow as well as your Friday. Unfortunately, we have to wash for showers as we push forward into your Friday night. But after we get through today into your tomorrow again, better weather temperatures starting off in the thirties. We're not going to deal with that biting and chill for your tomorrow morning while you still want to bundle up. We do better heading into your afternoon that high pressures are gonna take over, remain in control. So we're gonna continue with this dry quiet weather. You're just gonna need to grab the coat. So I know it's feeling a little bit more like midwinter for today, but we're back to more seasonal numbers even heading into your Friday. Now, first half of your Friday looks good. We're staying dry. We're actually stepping out the door into some 40 degree weather kind of where we should be for this time of year. But as we head into your afternoon, right around that lunch period, clouds start to fill in and then we're watching for some showers. We'll catch a little bit of a break for that commute home around 45 o'clock for your Friday afternoon. Getting into your Friday evening before we see another round of your showers late Friday evening into your Friday night. So, yeah, maybe date night, maybe dinner night, maybe heading out to the movies. You're definitely gonna wanna grab the umbrella or something with the hood that what weather moves in that week front is gonna produce some showers into your late Friday night before we dry out. Nicely. Heading into the weekend. First half looks good for your Saturday. Still working with some 50 degree weather. I like Saturday a little more than Sunday because it looks like we could see a few more showers in the mix to wrap up the week and looks like an unsettled pattern heading into the first half of next week.

Live Life Better: Simple techniques you can use to defend yourself  

Well, knowing how to protect yourself in a bad situation could be the difference between life or death. Yeah, I recently met up with some martial arts experts who showed me some simple techniques that you can use to defend yourself. We continue to focus on self defense and taking a look at the different scenarios that could happen if you ended up in trouble. So here to help us, John, I know we were going to talk a little bit about if somebody put you against a wall, obviously against your will and you don't want to be there, you feel like you're trapped. So how do you get out? Right? So you're in a tight situation, someone's pushing you up against the wall and now you're up against the wall, use the wall as your friend and instead it against you, you're gonna push off the wall, use your legs, grab onto the elbows and push back on onto them with the wall, then take a step to the side, turn them into the wall, use your knees and then your elbows and escape. So the important thing is escape. It don't, I wanna understand. I'm sorry, I just wanna understand how do I use this wall? Yes. So bend in your knees. Ok. I'm almost doing like a wall sit like I'm putting my OK. Exactly. So you're just pushing off the wall with your back and your legs into the opponent, grab your elbows, take a big step to the right and just use that wall and slide in towards it and then use your knees and your elbows. Right. Right. So, connecting with that wall as you step to the side, pushing off the wall, turning and striking. Ok? And using it as like leverage to maneuver, I get what you mean now. OK. All right. So now for the next scenario, what's gonna happen? So let's say the person grabs onto your throat. So just like we did, the chin should be down protecting your windpipe, bending your knees, using that wall, opening up your hand and trying to imagine you're hitting that wall. So you're gonna go through push and elbow and then do your striking. Ok. So important from there is bending down, connecting the hand and the neck together, pushing into me and then releasing that the person is going to fall in towards it. Strike and escape. I feel as though that's something you should really practice though because when you're in that, you know, horrible moment, I, I would think you'd need to have some type of an instinct that would kick in to let you know to do that. Right. Right. So, just a little bit of practice goes a long way. People take CPR classes to help somebody else. A self defense class helps you just some short tips to know. Yeah. So that you feel what it feels like to go through it because I'm watching you and I'm like, oh, I can do that but then being there, even though I know you're not here to hurt me, I did get that feeling of like, oh gosh, what do I do again? You know, in that, in that moment? Ok. So I wanna take your arm and then move it against the wall. OK. Here we go. OK. So chin down, down, bend in your knees, push him back. OK? Oh Push against you. Release and oh OK. I get what you mean now. OK? Because I can feel that tension, I release it. You don't expect it. I know it's coming and then I take that moment of, you know, change to use the opportunity. Yes. OK. And that is one more that we need to get to. Yes. Yes. So let's say up up against the wall. If I'm grabbing onto you with both hands, bend in your knees to have both hands come up. It doesn't matter what hand you grab or what fingers you grab, just grab one of them. So you have a choice out of 10 and then 11 hand grabs other hand, grabs your wrist and you break their finger and then from there you could do your knees, your elbows and just escape from there. I like that because you also feel like you're gonna hurt them and they, they may be hurting you. Thank you guys so much. I feel like I've learned so much and I feel safer. So hopefully you do as well.
