Um, we've had good weather but things are kind of going downhill. Now, for the weekend, we've got some rain moving in, but that's ok. Maybe you can stay indoors, decorate your house. The rainy day is going to be Sunday. We do have showers around this evening as well. But tomorrow we'll get a little bit of a dry period. It will be mostly cloudy and mild. Look at the highs this weekend, 56 on Saturday, 54 on Sunday. So Sunday will be the day where it's, uh, you know, pretty wet out there. It will be raining on and off for much of the day. Um, meteorological winter starts today. So go figure the cold spells over. We have those warm temperatures now, but basically December, January, February, it's typically the coldest time of the year. Um, of course, astronomical winter, the official start to winter is not coming until December 21st. But right now, winter is nowhere in sight that cold air is up in Canada. That's where we have the snow. It's mild right now. We're looking at a batch of rain on Long Island for the next few hours by 10 to 11 o'clock tonight, the rain moves out 6 a.m. Saturday. We're in the forties. We start the day with some low clouds and fog. Most of the day is fine. It's going to be a little bit gray. We have some light winds but that mild feel at night showers return light rain Sunday morning, a little bit of a late morning break and look at the afternoon, that rain will kind of be on and off for the rest of the day. So it will be a wet finish to the weekend. Monday. We get a break. Tuesday right now looks nice. We might have a couple of showers on Wednesday but cooler air is going to be building in for Wednesday and Thursday, a little bit of a chill will return to Long Island. So tonight we're in the forties, fifties for the weekend with that rain, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday looking pretty good through the end of the week. It's nice. It will be chilly with highs in the forties.

If you're a Mets fan on paper, you got the best stinking team that money can buy right And it starts with two healthy ace is ready to get to work. And here they are max Scherzer, Justin Verlander, 250 wins, six cy young awards between these guys. Mets manager buck. Showalter will not say which one will be the opening day starter today Showalter called that decision a really good problem to have and what he's going to think about for a little bit. Show walter also did his best to deflect any questions about the massive expectations the Mets have thanks to their loaded lineup. $370 million payroll. He said if a player wants to use that as motivation, that's great. But one thing he's not going to use is last season's early playoff exit against the Padres. A wildcard beat down and let down after a 100 win one win season. Who in here likes talking about unpleasant things, nobody likes to. So it's one of those things you know about, do we have to keep bringing it up is what they would say to me, you know, so they get it and the Mets first spring training game is next saturday. Meanwhile, Mets not the only one starting fresh. So
