Aren't letting them win either. No, they are not. All right. Let's see where our forecast is going as we head into tonight. There's still a few lingering showers across the area. Fog is a bit of an issue. The fog will probably last right up until about daybreak. As we go through the day tomorrow, we have more clouds than sun, but there will be sunshine in the forecast and with the sunshine and a favorable wind, temperatures will warm up nicely into the mid to upper fifties. Now, we're in the mid forties, there will be a few passing showers as we go through the first part of the overnight hours. But I don't think we're looking, looking at anything too significant things start to change as we get into Sunday. I think that's when we're more than likely going to be looking at a decent shot of rain, not only in the wee hours of Sunday morning before daybreak, but there's another slug of possibly moderate to heavier rain moving in at some point in the afternoon. Tonight, we're looking at mostly cloudy skies. Temperatures are going to be in the mid forties, areas of patchy fog will be around. There's also going to be a few on again off again. Showers early on temperatures will be in the upper thirties and lower forties. Milder temperatures are coming up the east coast. We do have some colder air wrapping around behind this rain event. And when this rain event finally wraps up on Sunday, that's when we start to see the colder temperatures moving in for early next week. So for the rest of this evening, we'll be dealing with a few passing showers by tomorrow afternoon. It's a mixture of clouds and sun. Temperatures will be in the mid to upper fifties, which is well above average for this time of year. We look ahead to Sunday or Saturday night going into Sunday. There's that first round of light scattered rain right up until about daybreak. You're left with mostly cloudy skies. The second round of storms comes in right around three o'clock in the afternoon and that will continue to spread through the area as we go through Sunday night into very early Monday. Otherwise Monday and Tuesday are fairly nice. Temperatures are very chilly going into Wednesday and we might be looking at some rain mixing with a few wet snowflakes, no accumulations but a little wintry. Nonetheless, more details on that forecast coming right up. Thank you, Dave.

First full weekend of December officially upon us, but it doesn't really feel like it out there at all. Was that 60 degrees for Saturday? Really nice. Can't complain a little wet though today. Yeah, it was a little wet a couple of hours ago, but at least we got some dry conditions to kick off the weekend. That will be quickly changing by Sunday. Here's what you can expect. Waves of rain starting Saturday night into Sunday night. So that's going to be a long duration storm where we are expecting rounds of rain, steady rain with a few downpours possible. So you're gonna have to watch for some puddles ponding on area roadways. And if you live somewhere that has poor drainage, you're probably going to see some more of that localized flooding. In terms of tomorrow morning, we're starting off chilly. Temperatures near 46 degrees areas of fog will be to move into our area. It will lift and clouds will still be with us throughout the afternoon with temperatures topping out near 58 degrees muted sunshine. So not seeing that sunshine that we like to see, but at least it's going to remain dry. During the evening, it is still going to remain dry with clouds, but showers do arrive late after midnight. That's where we start to see some of that wet weather pushing through. But at least we got these unseasonably mild temperatures. Our average high 49 degrees. We're not going to see the forties until the midweek. And that's also where we start to see there. I say some festive flakes returning back to our area. But in the meantime, let's just enjoy the dry weather. So some clouds and fog to start our Saturday, it is going to remain dry throughout the day. Temperatures will be topping out near 58 degrees and we got some rain.

Well, it was a gloomy, a gloomy day rather, but the sun will come out for that walk tomorrow in Tarrytown. Right. Edison. Yeah, I think so. Kevin, we're gonna be seeing some breaks in that cloud that getting peeled away. So you perhaps and a few others are gonna maybe go out and about to do some running or some jogging or at least go out for a nice stroll where as you make your way on in through the 11 o'clock hour and a little bit after that, we're peeling away that layer of clouds getting that sun to shine on down temperatures though. Look at that not bad. Get up and towards the low fifties around 11 or so. But as you move on in towards that time frame, where was the showers move away? That fog is lingering around. Some spots may have some pockets of low visibility and for the weekend it's split Saturday, a nice day, Sunday, not so much the case. And then towards next week, we do go dry, but we do see a little bit of some colder air heading all wet. So, speaking of patchy fog, you can barely make out the Cuomo bridge in the distance. Earlier Friday evening, we will be able to see the spot. There's all nicely lit up in red. Not so much the case anymore. I'm looking at that platter and white points. We're keeping that cloud cover around pretty much until noon time as those temperatures only go down towards the mid forties and then rising after that, we're having an area of low pressure, pushing up warmth and moisture up this way. And as a result of that, we're getting that patchy fog to come on down, keeping the cold air away from us in towards your visibility forecast. You can see across Rockland County, Westchester County, Putnam County even. That's where we're seeing some of those low lying areas, some pockets, some lower visibility that will fade away, heading in towards the middle of the day as we get that sun to shine and shine on down and break that cloud deck. So 815 in the morning, we got 42 degrees in Newburgh, 42 as well in Yorktown Heights, you can see about one or two o'clock peeling away the clouds getting some sunny breaks, temperatures getting up in towards the mid FF and several spots then getting up in towards your Saturday night scatter shower slowly trying to push on in before midnight. So prepare yourself if you have any Saturday night plants. Then overnight we see all enough pockets of light rain come through, but we see more rain move on in after lunch time and maybe some batches of moderate to heavy rain time frame right there. 315 Newburgh be on the lookout near Harrison to see some moderate rain falling on down still have that rain falling on down towards seven o'clock. It should be wrapping up afterwards and we go towards your Monday morning commute with drier conditions, breezy winds and then unfortunately, guys, temperatures getting colder after that.

You know, I watched it for so many years and to be seeing and hosting it is a different level. So it looks like everyone else enjoyed their time as well. They did. So this wet weather will get out of here for a little bit. You can have some hot chocolate and dry off tonight after work. And then tomorrow we get a little bit of a break from the rain. Saturday will be your day to get out, do some decorating, do some shopping. Even on Sunday. If you are out, it will be wet. So just have that umbrella. We'll be talking about on and off rain for much of the day, especially the afternoon and evening. Look at your highs this weekend in the fifties. So it is going to be mild. Um So at least, I guess that's a good thing. If it's going to be raining, at least it won't be cold right now. We're in the forties. You see those fifties southwest, this mild air will be in place for the day tomorrow. A little break in the morning, we have some low clouds and fog to kick off the day. But the afternoon is not bad. I think we get a couple of bright spots in the clouds, seeing some sunshine here and there. It's a little bit unsettled but it's dry at night. Light rain is back Sunday morning. There's not much until the afternoon and you see some heavier steadier rain will come through. It will be appearing kind of like today. Um, let's say between about two o'clock and eight tonight, 10 o'clock, most of that rainfall should get out of Suffolk County by 9 to 10 o'clock. Monday will be dry one more mild day and then we'll turn a little bit cooler as our winds will shift to the northwest. How much rainfall are we expecting? About a half an inch, maybe close to an inch in some spots? And that will be through Monday morning after that. The drier weather is back most of next week looks nice with mostly sunny skies and temperatures in the forties.

I can. And if you're getting out of town for the weekend, you'll run into some rain just about everywhere. On Sunday, Saturday is going to be the dry day and the warmer day, but Sunday will feature some very soggy conditions all around the northeast. There's going to be a much larger system coming our way and this is going to be packing a lot more rain than what we just had. So what's where tomorrow? No rain in sight. They don't have to about the rain gear, but it will be a mostly cloudy day. A little bit warmer with temperatures in the fifties. I would still grab something warmer to where early in the day by the afternoon, you may not need all these layers, but it's a nice day. So get out and enjoy it. We don't often see temperatures like this in December to December. This is meteorological winter and it's a great time to do some star gazing. So we do have a couple of things heading our way for the month. Mercury at its greatest elongation on December 4th, best time to view the planet, which is very, very difficult to see because it's always low on the horizon. Look for that after sunset, the earliest sunset of the year is coming our way as well. That will be December 7th and we also have the gem, its media in a couple of weeks by December 13th and 14th. So stay tuned. I'll have more on that coming your way in the meantime, here's that extended forecast. Temperatures are mild for several days. Fifties right through the weekend. I think Monday and Tuesday are trending drier. Wednesday. More clouds could be a shower and then it's colder after that back into the forties. And that's a look at your local weather.

Fitness in Four: Burn calories and build muscle by walking

You know, walking at any speed can really improve your health and burn calories. I was just with Joyce Schulman, author of Walk your way to better who showed me ways to make walking a daily workout. Today, we are focusing on all the benefits of taking a walk and Joyce. I know that you actually wrote a book on this. I am all about the power of walking. I love it. OK. So what are some of the things that we should focus on when we go on this walk? Well, starting with some of the benefits of walking. You know, walking is one of the most accessible forms of physical activity there is, and the benefit bits are huge and I always like to think about them through the lens of benefits for your mind, your mood and your body, right? So let's start with our mind. So the research shows that a regular walking practice can reduce your risk of dementia and Alzheimer's and improve your memory and actually adds volume to your hippocampus. Oh I like that builds gray ma, it makes your brain bigger. Amazing. That's amazing. So now for our mood research shows that for many people, not everybody, but for many people walking can be as powerful to reduce the symptoms of depression and anxiety as medication. Wow. Now, is there a time I should do it? I've heard great things about like after you eat a meal, go on a walk. So any time that works for you, ok, is good. Right. Because all walking is good. Every mile matters. Every step counts all the things. Yeah. but there's huge benefits to your blood sugar levels by walking after meals for sure. And now should I try to hit a certain mile mark? Should I try to hit a certain amount of steps? Like what should I aim to do? I love a goal. I love a good goal. It really depends on what your goal is. Ok. The benefits tend to kind of level out for most people around 8, 800 steps a day. Ok? With more being better, but like the huge benefits and then once you get past that, you know, it's incremental. Ok? But the bottom line is for most of us. Yeah, more is better move every day, you move every day, every day. And I love it. But I know one of the things that you had mentioned to me earlier was that doing smaller walks throughout the day might also have the benefit as well. So for sure. So there is some research that teaches us that several shorter walks during the course of the day spread out 3 15 minute walks, as opposed to 1 45 minute walk has particular benefits for your blood sugar and your cardiovascular system. But again, like all walking is good, do more because there are also benefits that come from a long walk, especially for your mind. You know how your mind clears and you go out for, especially in nature. Yes. And I know one of the other things you were saying is like ditch the cell phone, ditch everything else and make it an intentional thing that you're doing. So my thing is intentional walks. I don't count my steps and that's all good. Right. Park at the far side of the parking lot and get more steps. It's all good. But the value of stepping away from all of our obligations and our screens and the dishes and the kids and taking some measure of time to walk is beautiful and magical and delivers all of these improved clarity and relaxation reduces your cortisol. I mean, all the things that help us live the way we want to live. Right. So all this week, we're gonna be talking about the benefits of walking and different things that we can do to even improve the walks that we go on. Thanks so much. My pleasure.
