For the kids. All right. So we're checking back in with Alan. So Alan, if the kids want to play after school today outside, what are the chances for something like that? Oh, easily, no problem. Just make sure you have that typical winter attire. It's going to be typical early December weather near 50 degrees. But we're about to go on a temperature roller coaster first. The downswing take a look at how high temperatures from fifties this afternoon, forties and thirties by midweek, it is going to be quite cold by midweek and then we rebound in a big way. But that will come with rain. We'll talk about all that in just a sec, but let's get through the next couple of days again this afternoon. Not bad. Lots of clouds into the overnight hours, the clouds clear that's going to allow us to cool on down, back into the thirties. So tomorrow morning's commute, you definitely want that heavier winter jacket out the door then into the afternoon. Notice those clouds return and that's going to keep us even colder. How about just 43 during the afternoon? Yeah. So instead of 53 like this afternoon, only about 43 into tomorrow afternoon. Quite a bit colder. You're going to notice that difference gets even colder into Wednesday. Sure. We'll clear some of the clouds out, but it's still looking quite unsettled. I wouldn't roll out an isolated Sprinkle or two. this particular model has it out towards Long Island, but I could see a rogue Sprinkle here across the city heading into Wednesday and taking big picture. You can see there's a lot of unsettled energy everywhere across the northeast so that storm system could easily get to right over us a little bit better of a chance on Thursday though. Take a look at that Clipper system, another sign that it's winter out there and it's showing a few festive flakes getting pretty close to the city by Thursday afternoon. So that's why can't rule out on a couple of those flurries on Thursday. But at least that's going to be the bottom of our temperature roller coaster gets a whole lot warmer, but a big storm system is possible by next Sunday. Oh, ok. So what are we talking here? It could be quite a bit of rain. Of course, it's, it's Sunday. Today is only Monday. We have lots of time to track it, but I wanted to highlight that for you with that yellow highlight because it's a possibility move your plans for Saturday, that's for sure. Keeping our eye out for that. Thank you so much. Well, if you've been feeling a little off, you.
