Another check of that hyperlocal forecast. Definitely not as cold out there today and we have the sunshine too. So overall, this is just about as good as it gets for us. Not a bad way to close off the month, but we start off December with more clouds and a chance for a shower in the evening. It's mostly light rain, but it'll probably be around through the whole evening commute. Then the weekend comes with cloudy skies kind of spritzes and a little bit of drizzle. But as you see, temperatures have been kind of hovering close to 50 this afternoon and then we drop into the mid forties for any evening plans. So 7 p.m. dinner time looks cool but not cold. We're chilly in the morning time on Friday, a few spots close to freezing, but I'm expecting us to stay above it. And then Friday afternoon, temperatures are mostly in the mid forties with high temperatures close to 50 but it won't feel as warm tomorrow. And that's because we have cloudy skies. Here's a look at four o'clock seeing very light showers pass through the city and that will continue kind of on and off for us here in the Bronx at five o'clock, still some light showers tomorrow and then closing off Friday evening with just mainly cloudy skies. Those clouds just are so stubborn. Best chance of seeing the sun is gonna be on Saturday, but there's not much of it expect clouds to build overnight. Saturday with a few showers. If you have late Saturday evening plans, I'm talking after dinner time, Sunday, rain pretty much expected at some point in the afternoon or evening. Definitely not looking like a total wash at this point. But the later you get in the day, the better bahrain risk gets. So you need the umbrella there. Probably gonna need it for Monday morning too. That's still a few days out. But at least temperatures still look quite mild there and we're expecting high temperatures to stay only in the mid forties from the middle of next week. It's gonna be a little cool.

Bronx residents kick off celebrations for opening of Orchard Beach 

Less than two days. Now from the opening of Orchard Beach and things got a bit of an early start today. News told Dan Sein was there to get the summer season going. Are we excited? I like to. No, we need more energy. It, beach opening day. Everybody come to be a to get the summer going. And here in the Bronx, there's plenty of memories at Orchard Beach growing up here in the Bronx. It's here where you come to every weekend and dance, salsa over there in that section, play basketball, play volleyball with family. And I remember my mom packing up sandwiches right with sliced bread with ham and cheese. She would put it in the bag in the packages and we will come here and we will have a good time. More memories will be made at the Bronx Beach this summer. Hang out, have a good time here. Most importantly, do it safely. Even amid a lifeguard shortage, the city parks commissioner says lifeguards will be ready to go this weekend. So we've got that cos they're going through the process and we're getting ready so that we're ready to open the beaches and celebrate as we are this morning with all these kids. And here at Orchard Beach, Orchard Beach officially opens this Saturday as lifeguards will be on duty every day through September from 10 AM to six PM. There's even some renovations going on here at Orchard Beach, the Nature Center and the pavilion being renovated. There's two new pickle ball courts, all that, of course, in an effort to create new memories for Bronx sites of all ages at Orchard Beach. I'm Dan Sarafin News 12.
