I want to think again, step outside right now and you'll already know that the cold is with us. And like you mentioned, Kurt doesn't seem like it's really going anywhere anytime soon. Let's bring in hope to tell us more about when or if there's any relief from this sight. Hope we have a few days to go to really start seeing those temperatures recovering back to seasonable. But here's what to expect for our bitter blast. It is going to feel bitterly cold starting tomorrow and even last thing into Wednesday morning, feel like temperatures in the twenties tomorrow morning, even colder Wednesday morning, it is expected to feel like the teens. So winter essentials are needed. So here's what you need to wear starting tonight into early tomorrow morning. You need to grab the heavier coat, the hat, the scarf, the gloves, temperatures tomorrow will be in the upper twenties near 30 degrees, feeling colder than that because of those blustery winds out of the west gusting between 20 to 30 30 MPH really beginning to ramp up in intensity by the afternoon and that does even come with some flakes. So it's certainly feeling and even looking like winter out there. So some festive flakes starts moving into our area after 10 a.m. Again, it's not expected to accumulate anything but don't get caught off guard if you see some of those flakes moving through around 1:02 p.m. out of here by the evening. But again, back to how it's gonna feel tomorrow morning dress for the twenties, it looks like temperatures aren't really recovering by the afternoon. Still expected to feel like the tw all day long through the evening, overnight hours, even colder by Wednesday morning, you're going to have to dress for the teens once again. And that just means you're putting on an extra layer, you're going to need those insulated socks as well. And it looks like it is going to remain cold even through Wednesday afternoon. Tuesdays. Well, Thursday is where we start to recover a bit. Highs will be near 47 with plenty of sun.

Anti-ICE advocates call on state officials to end immigration detention facilities

Anti ice Advocates are calling on state leaders to put an end to immigration detention centers. And news's Heather Fordham explains how organizations are coming together all in an attempt to ensure the safety of people seeking asylum here in our state. DAO Coro knows what it's like to be locked inside an ice detention center. I was safe from being killed as a de person in my own country, but I was in a jail. Okoro left his home in Nigeria in 2016 seeking freedom in New York City only to spend the next six months at the Elizabeth contract detention facility in New Jersey. I was really shocked because I thought that in America, the land of the free I was going to be accepted and welcome. I didn't expect that I was going to be put in a jail. He shared his story as part a town hall tonight in the Bronx organizers hoping to bring awareness to the dignity not detention bill that would end immigration detention in New York. The organization abolished Ice New York. New Jersey has been pushing for the bill to pass for several years. Hundreds and hundreds of stories of basically torture and human rights violations are happening right in our backyard right here, just a few miles away. And so we want to stop that ice did not immediately respond to our request for comment on the conditions inside the facilities. The Bronx defenders that works with immigrants who are facing deportation say they are being neglected. These detention centers wear people down to the point that they often give up and go back home even if they're facing certain death or torture at home. Four other states including New Jersey pass bills to stop states from renewing ice contracts. We want people to come to America and be welcomed rather than punish while the dignity not Detention Act did not pass in this legislative session. Advocates say they are not giving up hope just yet and they will continue to push towards this bill getting passed in the next legislative session reporting in Morrison Heather Fordham.
