BXFORECAST

Quite the operation they've got over there. Julio. Great. Look at what the post service service has to deal with. You know, what's the saying? Right? Neither rain nor sleet nor snow. That package are going to get it where it needs to go. We don't have any of that in the forecast, but for the mail carriers tomorrow and everybody else to bundle up, I guess. Yeah, the temperatures will be in the mid to upper 30 to start tomorrow and we are seeing some rain and maybe even some festive flakes in the near future. So that's something that we need prepare for as we get through the next couple of days. But 37 degrees mostly cloudy sky that puffer jacket will do you some good and some extra layers and you can grab the tins or the Uggs, some things, they just keep your feet warm because tomorrow's highs really struggle to get to the low forties. This is where we're going by tomorrow afternoon. 4 p.m. feeling like near 32 degrees across the boughs and it gets even colder, waking up on your morning. This is going to be the core of the cold we feel like temperatures will be in the mid twenties. So that's what you need to dress for Thursday morning. And even through the majority of the afternoon, we feel like temperatures will still be in the thirties. It looks like Friday. We have one more cold start to the day and then temperatures really begin to turn around. And we're seeing the fifties back by Friday and even into Saturday, which is going to be the pick of the week. Here's why temperatures will be in the mid fifties. It's gonna feel and look nice to be outside. And we're finally seeing a return of that sunshine that we haven't really been experiencing. So we're also turning the page to Sunday, which is our next day that we're tracking some wet weather. So here's what we know so far, still several days out, we're still fine tuning the timing of the system, but expect some widespread rain wind, some thunderstorms and this can start moving into our area Sunday evening into Monday.

American Museum of Natural History unveils Gilder Center

Museum of Natural History just unveiled its newest center that is transforming the way that you view exhibits with the goal of showing you places you may have never seen before. News Julio Avila gives us a peek inside. You come in to this glorious exploration atrium and the natural light is coming in and you just feel the invitation to go on a journey, a journey inside the American Museum of Natural History's newest building. Welcome to the Richard Gilder Center for Science Education and Innovation, combining all three components. It takes you to worlds you might have never seen or even knew existed. This is really about science and society and giving people a lens into the world around us in ways they've never seen before. It looks to immerse you in the science both physically and even virtually into the Solomon Insectarium. And you learn that insects are one of the key vectors of human health and the environment. And upstairs to the Davis vivarium where the magnificently beautiful butterflies even land on you. The Gilder Center started being built about four years ago. Fast forward to today and you get the sense that you're walking through caverns, which is where the design's inspiration came from to be as visible and accessible as possible, not just from inside builder but from anywhere on the museum campus. Design of the building is both reflective of the natural world itself. Someone also has to research that natural world. The museum's newest President Sean Decatur says researchers are welcome. There also are education classrooms within this building which give opportunities for teachers to bring classes into the museum to do work with the collection. You'll have a chance to check out the Gilder Center starting May 4th price of admission. Well, that's up to you if you're a resident from the tri state area at the American Museum of Natural History, Julio Avila.
