NJFORECAST

Weather's been pretty active today as we know downpours and light snow and even accumulations north and west like this image coming in from Doug. Doug has a couple of images actually from the Mount Arlington area. You can see some of the snow on some of the pavement here but not widespread on the pavement. A lot of it is having trouble sticking to the roads. Thank goodness. Right. But definitely the colder surfaces, the metal surfaces like the cars or maybe even the grass, there's some sticking as you can see right here. Very, very light accumulation in this part of New Jersey and even our own Isabel Lyndhurst started making a little snowman using the thunderbolt hat there. Of course, being chunky wet snow. That is unfortunately the case for our areas in the northwest. But if you love the snow, this is not unfortunate for you. It's just a mess for the morning commute. So if you have any images feel free to send it to me here at the news 12 New Jersey Weather Center and I'd love to continue airing them here throughout the morning. And even into this afternoon, we have a coastal flood advisory in effect for Ocean County, especially for our communities along Barnegat Bay. The barrier islands expecting to see some very minor flooding throughout the rest of this morning. As the high tide rolls in reason why south winds last night pushed all the water in, had trouble draining out during low tide this morning. So it's running a little higher than normal and that's going to spill over generally toward the Manteo area. The Ocean Gate area, the Bay head area point Pleasant Beach. I think the northern areas of the Barnegat Bay are the ones that are going to see some minor flooding in those most prone low lying areas along the waterfront on the barrier islands. That's also because of the wind now coming in from the west. So west northwest winds 36 MPH in seaside heights and along the shore. So just be aware, Monmouth Ocean County is definitely going to be seeing those gusty conditions, the gustiest of the winds for today across the state. So in a nutshell today, the rain is ending this morning. The light snow ending also north and west. We had some isolated accumulation on the colder surfaces and the back bay flooding is that other concern for Ocean County wind gusts forecast for the rest of the day 15 to 25 MPH, but it is going to be improving with the sun emerging for this afternoon, 48 degrees for our high And tonight our low at 31 where tomorrow is a beautiful day, mostly sunny and temperatures in the mid forties. We hold on to that seasonable weather pattern for the rest of this week with the next chance of rain Sunday into Monday. All right, thanks Mike.

BXFORECAST

For a look at this weather. The storm is fading out a bit. Alan, it is. Right. Right. And we've seen already a lot of rain but the good news about this rain and that it's fallen over about a day's worth span again. It started raining at around 9 a.m. yesterday. Now we're in the six hour. So it's not like this amount of rain fell in just a couple of hours that would have definitely caused the flooding. So luckily, we avoided the worst of the flooding, still seeing some areas of ponding lots of wet roadways. So still take it slow for the morning commute. But luckily this two inch amount out towards Morris Park did not come all at once. Great news there, Pelham Bay almost two inches there as well. Morrisania, about 1.88 inches Fordham and City Island at about an inch and a half. So not too bad, we definitely need the rain. It's been general dry with these bursts of rain here and there. So looking at the next couple of hours still hanging on to some of that rain, we're going to see a burst of some heavier rain. Moving in towards the seven and eight o'clock hour and the futurecast has it right here at 815. So right along the Bronx River Parkway, heading down from Wakefield, Bedford Park down to sound view. Hunts point all seeing that steady, more moderate rain, probably more than the rain falling right now. Right now, it's more of a light to steady rain. We'll see a steady to moderate rain at 8 a.m. Morris Heights as well. High Bridge Melrose Morrisania, all dealing with that steadier rain gets out of the way at around 9 a.m. Again, maybe a little bit of leftover shower activity. North Bay Chester Wakefield, but gets out of the way and we'll actually see the sun break out by noon and it's going to be a completely sunny afternoon, barely a cloud in the sky, but it's not going to feel all too nice because the winds will start to pick up here over the next 2 to 3 hours by 930. The wind gusts will be approaching 35 MPH. Riverdale, East Chester throgs neck at a 30 mile per hour gusts and will be between 15 and 25 to 30 MPH into the afternoon hours. That's going to make it feel quite cold tonight. We're going to see the feels like temperatures in the twenties this evening and in the twenties tomorrow morning. So you definitely want to bundle up as we take it to the 10 day forecast. This December chill lasts all week, but the payoff is going to be this weekend.

HVFORECAST

Look at where the storm is right now and what it means for all of us here in Westchester and the Hudson Valley Matt. Yeah, it's leaving us as we speak as we go throughout the morning. Expect breaks of sunshine and during the afternoon, a mix of sun and clouds just dry for the conditions still wet outside in spots on the ground, especially those wet leaves can make travel a little bit more slippery. So just take it easy this morning. But I mean, the day is improving as we go throughout the morning and into the afternoon, for sure. It is a day to bundle up though, temperatures will feel like the thirties at actual highs will be around 40 to 45 degrees, but it's still going to be a bit blustery into the afternoon with winds that can gust between 2030 MPH through the morning and into the afternoon hours. That's not damaging wind thankfully, but it's enough to make it feel almost about 10 degrees colder than it is here is the future cast into this evening. And overnight tonight, we're looking at clear to partly cloudy skies with overnight temperatures dropping down to around 30 or so into early on Tuesday. So the wind, like I mentioned here still gusting between 2030 MPH at times. That's not consistent gusts, but there's scattered gusts in that range. Even through the middle part of the afternoon hours. Today, here's a hyperlocal planner for Yonkers as we get into the afternoon sunshine after a gloomy wet start to the day, the second half of the day, so much better. A high of around 45 just feeling like the thirties and then clear skies to at worst, partly cloudy this evening and overnight as temperatures begin to fall back into the thirties by around six o'clock this evening. So highs across the board today, around 45 in Yonkers, like we mentioned 44 in White Plains to 40 in Middletown, but feeling uh close to 10 degrees colder at times when we factor in that wind at 20 to 30 MPH into the afternoon. Those are scattered gusts in that range overnight tonight, lows in the upper twenties to the near 30 it's still breezy overnight. It's dry, but make sure you're dressing warmly overnight with an extra layer into early on Tuesday morning because it can feel like the upper teens and low twenties. And tomorrow morning, tomorrow, decent day, it's breezy. It's chilly. It can feel like the thirties again tomorrow, but it's nice and dry. And in fact, once we get into the later morning into the afternoon hours today and through the rest of next week it is a nice dry stretch. It's chilly through Thursday with highs in the low forties. Remember that's seasonable for this time of the year. However, temperatures do come up a bit to above average temperatures for Friday and through early next week in the upper forties to low fifties with our next chance for any wet weather. Late Sunday into Monday.

And I know nothing about this makeover subject. I have nothing to say John. Come in, please. I have short friends. They may take offense to that. Right. None intended but nothing is showed of rain as we work away and the wind it's gonna get worse. The wind is still gonna stick around throughout this morning. Um, the good news with the rain is it's starting to, to diminish and decrease. But again, with that wind, it's brought a lot of power outages specifically for Litchfield County spots across Newtown. Already seen over 200 power outages due to a storm that's really swept through with a lot of rain. A thunderstorm that pass through just a little bit after midnight earlier on this morning. So with that, we have a flood warning in effect for spots out across New Haven County. That's that lime green area, the darker forest green, that's the watch which sticks around throughout the rest of our morning, uh, into our afternoon. That flood watch looks like it's gonna expire by the time we head into around your 66 30 hour. Again, we're really starting to see that system move out east and thankfully, the worst of it is behind it, but still take it easy. We're still dealing with some steady bouts of rain this morning, some heavy rain this morning. But as we fast forward into the afternoon, we'll start to see that improvement. We really liking this rain to wrap up before the morning is done. And then we're gonna see, uh, a strong cold front bringing into some colder weather. We're quiet for the rest of this week, but again, it's gonna be a cold one and you're certainly gonna see that as we head into your tonight. So you just look at your 56 o'clock hour still dealing with some rain. Again, that strong cold front moves in. So notice different colors as you're looking up north and northwest, some pinks, some blues, a little bit of a mixing. We may see some flurries, we may see some snow showers and we could maybe even see about a coating to an inch thick for areas. Well, north, we're to cornwall on north, maybe spots out of crows ocean. Here's a look at your seven o'clock hour. We're starting to see that rain taper off by around 89 o'clock. I like for us to be dry. Then we could see some sun. By the time we head into this afternoon we're still gonna watch for some snow showers for areas up north and then again, a break in the clouds. Some sunshine for your afternoon. Numbers are gonna be in the lower to mid forties, then we're cold for tonight and we'll see that heading into your tomorrow. Looking at your extended forecast again. Once we get through this morning, we're looking at improvement as we dry out, but again, chillier.

be Well: Go green at home with easy ways to be environmentally conscious in the kitchen

Many of us are trying harder to protect the planet and live a more sustainable lifestyle. Yeah, but going green doesn't have to be hard. In fact, a few simple changes can actually make a major difference. That's right. So here to prove that with five great ways to be well and be green is editor in chief of Naturally Danny Seo magazine. Danny. So nice to see you be. Well, I love it. I'm so excited to have you. So we look at this amazing table and right away. I'm like trying to decode how does, how is this, how is this? Well, you know, we all know we need to be green, we want to do the right thing for the planet. And I just wanna start off by saying um it's not about buying more things. Ok. So I know we have some product suggestions here, but for the people at home, I don't need you to buy lots of stuff. I want to show you the things that really matter. So just because something is sustainable or said I'm eco friendly, you have to ask yourself first. Like do I actually need it? Right? Because I'm I'm such a minimalist in life and I think that's the best thing you can do to be great. Wait. So, can we show your sweater and the fact that this is the sweater you're wearing right here? But this is on purpose because it's, it's on purpose because it's like our, the last, well, we'll start here actually. So, one of the things is like fast fashion. You see it all the big stores. It's like people like, oh, I can just wear it once and throw it away. Well, we're talking about billions of garments. A lot of them unworn um completely end up filling our landfills. And so the question you have to ask yourself is two things. One buy things that are well made. This is actually um designer tool. I was taking like old sweaters and red dying them. So I love what he's doing. And then before you buy something at the store, whether it's organic or not, it doesn't matter. Will you wear it at least 50 times? If the answer is no, then you probably shouldn't buy it. I hope I my wife is watching. She's like, oh, I'll wear this diamond, $50. You got some more great things for us today. So where should we start here? So this is all about, did you know 550 million plastic bottles of shampoo and body washer thrown away every single year, not recycled, all ending up in landfills and there's a whole generation that doesn't know about. So because we grew up with that and then it was for some reason, having a to like have a body wash that comes in a big plastic container. That's not the norm. This is the best thing we love this brand. It's called High Bar and they actually make the best conditioners, shampoos, um and body washes all out of concentrated bar soaps. What's great about a bar soap is there's no water in it, obviously. So it's all active ingredients. So instead of spending for a big bottle of body wash or shampoo, you're paying for water, you're paying for the weight of that. It's so unnecessary here. You actually get to control in these triple M super concentrated and emollient and clean ingredients and the box is even made of cardboard. So you're not creating more plastic waste. Yeah. No, it does zero waste American made. And this is the brand at the magazine, our beauty editors um really love High Bar. All right, I've gotta try it next up. Incredible. Everyone needs a water pitcher. OK? Or you need a water filter. And this is something that is so life changing. First of all, we love life straw. Actually, before the show, you, you knew about them um where they invented that straw where all over the world, people who don't have access to clean water could literally put the straw in, in a river, dirty water and it filters everything out. So parasites, bacteria, microplastics, takes out everything out of the water. This one what I love about this, it has that same technology. So when you put your tap water through here, it is the cleanest water you will ever taste in your entire life. I love drinking water out here. It saves 2000 single use plastic bottles by using this plus with every purchase. Um it actually gives a child access to clean water for one year. I love that major duty filter there. But when you make ice cubes with this water has different taste altogether. And the great thing he brings this with him when he goes out the door. Ok. So it's, this is what I, what I can't stand is like you go out to dinner and you have leftovers and see. Can I have this to go? What do you end up with a bag, foam containers? All that was single use plastic. So this is something that I love to do. It's actually great. It's a great um health tip and a great eco tip because I bring my own take out container. This is my actual one that's shaped like it looks like a take out container. It's completely reusable. What I do is I get a meal. I put half of my dinner in here so you don't end up eating everything on the plate. Sometimes you go, you over indulge forces you to like eat less, you know, eat until you're full and then you have zero waste at the same time too. You can find these, by the way on any and it's light weight. So if you do have to take it with you, you're not lugging around a glass dish in your bag. Yeah, you don't look like a crazy person and it's a conversation piece and it comes in all different shapes. There's one that's like a cool little soup bucket too with a little handle on it. So that mimics like all those Chinese food containers. But again, dishwasher safe are usable and very inexpensive. All right. So what do we have here? What's this? So, grocery shopping, it's very important to buy organic foods whenever possible. But there are a few standout stars that we love at the magazine. Uh First one, Lumbergh farms, all organic rice American grown. But did you know in a rice field? Typically there's eggs from ducks, lay all their eggs in rice fields and they just go and harvest it and kill all the ducklings. This company goes in before a harvest and hand collects the eggs. It goes to a sanctuary and to date over 30,000 birds have been saved. Wow, that's incredible because you would never make that connection unless you know. Right. And you know, they don't have to do that, but they take that extra stuff to do that. Another American company we love um is eaten food so eaten foods is based in Michigan and they really go the extra mile for purity and pureness for their food. So, they have like a factory in Detroit that's over 100 years old. Making organic pasta. The same old fashioned way. They really do. BP, a free cans. There's no chemicals in here. Even all their bottles are different if you know, it's a brown glass. Oh. Was that, I thought what was inside? Was that? I thought so too. But no, all of their oil is um, anything actually fluorescent light. It's like these lights in here actually destroy food. So imagine these oils. It could be organic oil in a clear bottle sitting on the shelf at the store. But it's actually destroying the taste, the flavor and the nutritional content of what's in the bottle and the brown glass blocks all that out blocks it all out and easily recyclable too and infinitely recyclable. What you'll notice zero plastic except for this tiny little cup right now real quick. You mentioned a sweater already. I wanna talk to those people that are still resisting going green. Why should they do it? I mean, you save money. So like your conscience has changed where it's like, I think a lot of us get bored when we go shopping. Like shopping is a recreational sports. You're wasting money. You're buying things you don't need, you're gifting things to people who don't need them. So I'm all about like experiential less is more and I'm gonna wear the sweater. I wanna see it next time I want that. It's so good to see you again. Yeah. Make sure you pick up the magazine now. That's right.
