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.

Meanwhile, free meals for kids were distributed at a Bronx school today and if you missed out, well you got all summer to get on out there and enjoy one news. 12's El Amarillo has more on the effort. New york city's Department of Education is kicking summer off right with free summer meals and families got to participate in the program at P. S. I. S. To 18 in the Bronx today. The program aims at feeding Children who lose access to school breakfast and lunch. Now that school's out and could be at risk of going hungry. The program offers free meals to Children 18 years and under with no need for registration or proof of identification needed. Kids can simply show up and eat every summer. We open up across the five boroughs and serve meals to Children, 18 years in 18 years old and younger to any new york city child that doesn't have to be a public school student. Anyone that wants to come get meals can get them across the five boroughs. The Bronx school also got a surprise visit from former new york jets running back Tony Richardson today who tells me programs like these paved the way for a positive impact has to continue because like I said, I live in queens, I live in Long Island City and I see um, you know, young people who don't have the proper nutrition and in a way it affects their lives. And so this is something we cannot, I don't care, we can cut funding somewhere else, But this is something we've got to continue for years and years to come. Designated public schools as well as parks and community centers across the five boroughs will be open for service up until september 2nd. I took a look at the menu myself and everything that is being served is not only delicious, but also healthy. I even saw fruit. I see on the menu and let me tell you with a hot summer day like today, that seems just right. We're in High Bridge, Ellie, Morillo, News 12.
