To today's weather. What are we shaping up to have on tap? Is it warm? Is it going to be, it's going to be warmer? And with El Nino getting stronger into this winter, we were mentioning that winter weather ready special. We're going to have more details on how it will affect our winter. But before we get to that, we're talking about a temperature roller coaster. Of course, we love the cyclone, especially during the summer, not quite summer temperatures. In fact, we're going the wrong way. We are getting a whole lot colder by midweek, only thirties for highs and it also could come with a couple of snowflakes mixed in. So let's take a look at our latest feature cast tomorrow morning quite a bit colder. Look at those thirties from flatlands down towards Bensonhurst, taking Bay Parkway down, let's say towards uh Bay Ridge, it's going to be only about 38 degrees, not much warming up because the clouds will be moving in into the afternoon. We're going to temperatures mostly in the middle of forties. That's it. So back to reality here, back to December feel forties basically all afternoon long. So it's going to be colder. You definitely want to bundle up out there into the afternoon and evening, then into Wednesday. Similar story colder even in fact, barely getting to 40 here across our borough, Futurecast does not quite show those snowflakes overhead a little bit better of a chance. In fact, heading into Thursday again, a lot of messy weather, a lot of disorganized area of low pressure, not necessarily going to give us rain on Wednesday, but take a look at Thursday clipper system could bring a couple of snowflakes, which is why I have that one little snowflake there on the 10 day forecast. But as we head into the 10 day forecast, bigger storm system likely though by next Sunday. All right, Alan.

I think there are some people awaiting the cold weather. I'm not one of them, but there are people awaiting the cold weather. Hope. And I guess this last couple of days been a little not normal. No, not normal whatsoever. So if you guys are a fan of the cold that is coming our way this week. If you're not a fan of the cold, hopefully you guys got to enjoy the last couple of days, especially today. It was a beautiful day. Highs 53 degrees across the board. Classing point, Fordham City Island. It was a really nice time to really go outside and enjoy the conditions. Now, this is where we're going. Tomorrow's high 45 degrees. That is at least 9 to 10 degrees cooler and we are going to be going to experience more clouds and sun throughout the day. Wednesday feels even colder. Highs near 41 degrees. You're gonna see the blend of sun and clouds, but at least it is going to remain dry. Now, let's take you through the next couple of hours. Some clouds this evening does clear out overnight and this is what you're waking up to tomorrow. Morning, 38 degrees winter out of the west 5 to 10 MPH, it is going to feel colder. So you're definitely going to need to bring up the heavier coat and the winter jacket for the next couple of days. Tomorrow's highs will top out near 4445 degrees, not seeing a lot of sunshine tomorrow. Just during the morning hours, clouds do take over our sky and it is going to remain dry. Now, a Clipper says will remain north and west of our area leading into the start of Hanukkah on Thursday. And that is going to bring some snow showers to our north and west. While here we will just remain dry and cold for our Wednesday high, still in upper thirties, low forties, same situation on our Thursday and then it looks like things finally begin to turn around. We're talking about a big warm up heading our way as we get through the end of the week and even into the weekend.

Final NFL rosters are to be set Tuesday afternoon and there will be a good amount of New York City flavor scattered throughout the league.

Rogers made his long awaited Jets debut and I asked the bona conda recently what he's been able to learn from one of the greatest players in history. I learned how to be so calm in like big situations. I see how calm he can be in big situations. He's a great player on and off the field. He's a great person, Ash, he's so smart, Ashley, he's smart on the field and off the field, you know about everything about life. Erasmus Hall grad Christian is signed with the Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent. He not made the team but earned a starting spot. Bucks. Head coach Todd Bowles announced this week that Ian who started at Rutgers University has won the team's starting nickel cornerback job. I spoke with Ian as he was getting ready for his first NFL training camp and trying to make the team and asked him if he was nervous at all. I'm extremely confident, you know, just in my preparation, of course, won. But, you know, also what I've taken from coaches in the past that have helped me, you know, coaches that I have here now that just helped me, you know, build my confidence and, you know, just doing my job and all the little things that it takes to get there to what I want.
