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.

GayRidge hosts second annual Pumpkin Festival at Brooklyn Firefly

GAYRIDGE1016

and members of Brooklyn's L G B T Q Plus community got together this afternoon for a day of fall themed arts and crafts. While news tells Greg Thompson is out there now in Bay Ridge and Greg, how's it looking? Believe it or not, you can actually do more with pumpkins and just making other things taste bad by adding pumpkin spice to them with Halloween. Just a couple of weeks away, it's time to get the decorating and carving portion of things. That's exactly what's happening here at the Brooklyn Firefly today on Third Avenue with Gay Ridge hosting their second annual pumpkin festival. Free to attend and open to all ages. Can see just how good some of the people here are and there is also a little competition going on with contests and prizes. The best decorated pumpkins, truly putting the gourd in gorgeous organizers with a Ridge say they've been making an effort to put together more and more activities each month for the L G. B. T. Q Plus community in Southern Brooklyn and this is just a part of that. It's absolutely needed. I think it shows that there are different spaces for all different people from young people who are just discovering their queer identity to adults as well as queer families. It really is perfect. I mean just between just the bonding that connection and just the safe space for everybody. Everybody's so nice. The music is great and just the people, everybody is so friendly and that's really important in today's day and age with everything, all hate and bullying going on. Like we said, Gate Bridge has been trying to host more and more activities in the area every month. Besides this, they've already had a game night and a coffee meet up just in october. So if you want to take a look and see if anything sounds good to you, just head over to our website News 12 dot com, click on numbers and links in Bay Ridge Greg Thompson was 12.
