We are now turning back to this storm watch, Allen. Today, we saw some flurries in the air, but I understand we have quite literally a storm brewing. Oh, for sure. It's actually getting on to the Pacific coast of America. It has a pretty long way to get here, but we know it's coming and that's why we're on storm watch, make sure that you're prepared for the second half of the weekend and into the start of next week because this is one of the big changes that we have from this time. Yesterday, the time of the storm seems to be a little bit later. Let's take a look at that future cast. This is at six o'clock showing that rain six pm in the evening. Basically morning activities. You're fine. Actually doing a little bit of a brunch. You'll probably get away without needing the umbrella, in fact, but after lunchtime, that's when the rain will start to pick up and it will pick up pretty much in a hurry. By the time we get to midnight, it'll be pretty much, uh, a steady, if not heavier rain. And then what I'm worried about this is a very summer like storm. Actually, when you're starting to see this yellow showing up, it almost looks like a squall line. Remember today it's Thursday. We're talking about Sunday night to see this already showing up on future Cast. That's a good indication that we are going to see some, not just heavy rain but windswept rain. Take a look at these wind gusts 40 to 50 MPH that could cause some wind damage. That also includes not just the trash cans. It also includes of course, the holiday decorations, those lights, any sort of loose items, either secure them or bring them inside before Sunday afternoon because by the evening time already wind gusts approaching 40 MPH and then as the heaviest of the rain arrives at around midnight or just after this is at 1 a.m. right along the water. This is especially where I'm worried about south of the Belt Parkway along, let's say Oriental Boulevard in Manhattan, out to Surf Avenue, Coney Island, Bergen Beach as well. Mill Avenue, Mill Basin. Something to keep in mind because those winds could be over 50 MPH. Looking at the rest of the 10 day. It's the big temperature drop after the storm, we're going from 65 to 35. That is a drop. So I've got to get my rain boots, my umbrella maybe cancel my plans or move them to Saturday. We'll see. Thanks Alan

Dumbo Improvement District hosts 16th annual tree lighting

so much. Well new tonight holiday cheer is in the air especially as the dumbo improvement district hosted its annual tree lighting that drew in dozens. That's right. Let's head right out to news twelve's Phil Tate right now. He joins us from dumbo with more on this exciting event. Yeah, kurt Amanda. It is the first day of december and it was welcomed with fun fit for the family. We're talking about everything from free activities, live music and entertainment and oh, how can I forget that tree right behind me while it was lit up moments ago and as you see right there, it is full of bright colors. I'm just excited. This is my son's second christmas, but the first one, hell really? I think be able to participate in so fun to get out here and do something together and what's a holiday event without a real life santa claus. Families had a chance to take pictures with ST Nicholas and hold onto the memories with a picture from the photo booth while organizers also allowing others to give back with items such as toys, code and canned goods, hot cocoa was served tonight to warm down guests with the cold temps and we spoke with the new york state senator Andrew Bernard's who tells us everyone should be coming to Brooklyn to see the tree Rockefeller center isn't in Brooklyn and in case anyone hasn't heard Brooklyn is the center of the universe. Here's where it's at any tree in Brooklyn is where it's at, Over Rockefeller Center? That's my, that's how I see things and so why would you want to be in the city when you can be down here with all these great people? And this is the 16th year, the dumbo holiday tree lighting is being held. And this is a reminder that the holidays are here. So good to see so many families joining in on the cheer and we hope you are as well at home. Well, that's the latest here in dumbo. I'm Phil Tate is 12.
