All right, let's take a look at our hyper local forecast here tonight. This is me. I just hope right here with us in studio. Hope. I mean, as we sit here, it's a great time. If you got to get out there and do get some shopping done or you know, enjoy some of the holiday activities, but you got to definitely bundle up a little bit. Yeah, you know, today was a very cold day compared to yesterday, we got spoiled with highs in the fifties. Today were back down to the mid forties across the borough. So whether you were in class and Point Fordham or City Island, we saw temperatures near 44 degrees. Now, this is where we're going tomorrow afternoon, the chilly breeze will take us throughout the day. Highs will be in a low for so a few degrees cooler, it will be in seasonally cold. Even through our Thursday lows will be in the twenties and thirties. So this is what you need to prepare for Wednesday night into Thursday morning. Feel like temperatures will be in the twenties and thirties throughout the day on Thursday. But heading into tomorrow morning still very cold start with temperatures in the mid to upper thirties. A mostly cloudy sky, the clouds will really just be sticking around for the majority of the day, not going to experience that sunshine and temperatures will be in the low forties. So again, it is going to feel cooler because of those brisk northerly winds that's going to take us throughout the day. On our Wednesday, we clear out a little bit on Wednesday night, that is going to allow temperatures to fall to near 29 degrees, feeling like the low twenties by Thursday morning. So the heavier coat your entire winter gear will be needed. Now Thursday afternoon can't rule out a few flurries possible that is associated with a Clipper system to our west. Looks like mainly north and west of our areas should see some snow while we may see a rogue flurry. So don't be surprised if you see some of those festive in terms of Friday. Finally turning things around, seeing temperatures climbing into the low fifties, even milder heading into the weekend, the pick of the week will be on Saturday. Wait until you see exclusive 10 day Sunday just start off dry. But this is what we're watching. The storm system will bring us some rain and even some gusty winds, maybe even some embedded thunderstorms when all is said and done. So that's going to be the next day that we need to watch

Hawaiian lei maker in Brooklyn raises funds for family devastated by Maui wildfire

HAWAII0910

Maker from Hawaii is in Brooklyn right now, looking to help a family back home after a massive fire destroyed Maui last month. Well, she spoke to News Twelve's Julio Avila and shows us what she's doing to help. Well, what you see me wearing right now is one way that she's helping. This is a Hawaiian lay made by Gina and she was here hosting a workshop where she was teaching others how to make other Hawaiian things that they could not only wear but also to help this family at the same time. Now she's from Oahu and she knows the family from Lahaina telling me that they lost their home and a loved one. This workshop was already planned where she would teach those here to make lays and smudge ones. Then the fire struck and she changed the focus to help this family. So far over $2000 was raised for the sale of the Green Lays and the workshops. And she tells me that all that money will go directly to the family. It was also emotional for some of those here. I just got married in Hawaii and so Hawaii holds a special place in my heart and I just broke down and started crying like I can't imagine what that was like. I'm amazed that people in New Jersey, as well as New York really care about Hawaii. It makes us feel really seen and, and appreciated and I just love that the turnout and just the compassion has been through the roof for what Maui is going through. Gina tells me that she is set to go back to Hawaii tomorrow. Now, if you would like to help out this family, she tells me that there will be more of these green lays on sale here at the stem florists for any donation amount in East Williamsburg, Julio Avila News 12. A great.
