That you're out on the roads. Yes. It's just a little like, you know, quick. Oh, there it is. And a quick chuckle. Right. Um, that's exactly what we're dealing with today. It's like a quick little cold plunge and tomorrow. Really? We're back to more seasonable types. So we have to contend with these colder temperatures just a little while longer. We do get to stop freezing later on today. So eight o'clock, you'll notice temperatures really taking a deep dive, but it doesn't last for too long. Tomorrow, we wake up with fields a little bit more manageable into the twenties. And by Friday and Saturday we're back into swing with the forties and fifties as ultimate high temperatures. Now, what's gonna influence? Of course, a warmth are the winds, the winds will also tack back down heading into the afternoon today and not be as gusty. Now, they will be coming back tomorrow Thursday, but notice a direction here out of the south and southwest that also adds into a little bit more of that warmth and milder feel. Overall, we are tracking some wet weather returning once again, kind of all day, really nuisance rain. We're not looking at significant rain totals for Friday, but of course, you're gonna have to keep your umbrella handy today. It's sunny and still frigid. I know many of us are noticing that layers is really the best way to go and protect ourselves from the cold, cold temperatures into the thirties. Right around five o'clock, the clouds will fall, then they will decrease clearing up for our night sky tonight. Then we'll notice some more clouds just passing on through for Friday. Now, Friday morning, we wake up into the thirties right around lunchtime. We'll notice overcast skies and northern portions getting the showers first. A little bit of a break right between two and four o'clock and then more widespread showers. Belmar to Jackson, expecting a little bit more moderate rainfall clears out nicely by nine o'clock. All in all. We're trending a bit more. We wet, heading into December 9th.

In terms of the weather for that tree lighting to be cold, feels like temperatures, they're going to be in the twenties. So I know layers is always recommended but add an extra thermal layer or two or three because it's going to be blustery. It's going to be cold. Again, these wind gusts not as high as yesterday, but this is enough to make it feel extra cold out there. Again, about 20 MPH gusts into the afternoon and these will continue into the evening as well. That'll make it feels like temperatures quite a bit colder. So later on this morning, even in the next hour or so again, it feels like temperatures no matter where you are 20 or below if you want to pack your lunch right now before you head out the door. So you don't have to be outside an extra bit. That's a recommendation from me because take a look at lunchtime, this is at 12 noon. Feels like temperatures Bay Ridge, 27 Park Slope, same deal Bushwick as well. 27 Sheepshead Bay and Coney Island 27. So it's going to be a cold afternoon, pretty cold evening. As well. So this is at 8 p.m. right before the tree lighting. And again in Manhattan, pretty much same deal, middle and upper twenties for the fields like temperatures 26 for Flatlands, 27 for Bushwick 27 for winds will slowly subside throughout the overnight hours and the temperatures are not going to be as cold tomorrow morning. I'd still classify it as cold but not bitterly cold. So it feels like temperatures out the door. Tomorrow will not be in the teens. There'll be about 26 for Williamsburg, 26 for Bay Ridge, 24 for Flatland. So not as bad and the improvements really get going into the afternoon. Lots of sunshine just started about 32 and we get up well into the forties. So improvements much milder definitely will make it feel better out and about for the afternoon hours getting up to about 47 degrees for the afternoon. But with this warm weather, we see the clouds on the increase and then here comes some showers into the afternoon for Friday. So it's going to be a wet finish to the work week. And after three o'clock expect some more of the showers could be a little bit heavier at times for the evening commute. So definitely keep that in mind for late Friday as well as Friday evening plans weekend. Not too bad, but a little bit more rain late Sunday. All right, Alan, thank you.

HVFORECAST

Rules back to this bitter blast and hopefully not back to it for too much longer. Matt Hammer is here with details on your Wednesday. Yeah. No, through about mid-morning tomorrow and then a much improved weather into the afternoon tomorrow. I mean, today looks great. We have a lot of sunshine this morning giving way to more of a mix of sun and clouds during the afternoon hours today. In fact, at times more clouds and sun by the afternoon, but it's certainly a very cold feel, but you can get out and about and enjoy this as long as you are addressed appropriately and you have to dress for temperatures that are in the middle and upper twenties in terms of what they feel like outside the actual air temperatures on the left hand side of this map in the thirties tomorrow though, middle and upper forties for the air temperature, much better what to wear today. It's all about the winter gear, still, whatever you dressed in yesterday. And if you were comfortable in it, do it again, if you were not as warm feeling as you wanted to feel yesterday, add an extra layer today, middle thirties again, feel like the twenties. It's breezy. It's dry at times more clouds and sun this afternoon and this evening and later on tonight, it's partly cloudy. It's dry. It is just one more really cold night with lows in the low twenties. I can feel like the upper teens to low twenties into tomorrow morning. Tomorrow's highs though much more seasonable. The normal average high this time of the year is right at 47. So it'll be close to that all throughout the Hudson Valley under a lot of sunshine tomorrow. And then Friday, you will need to plan on a wet second half of the day on Friday. No flooding expected no high rain totals here, but there will be some nuisance rain showers after no time on Friday and those will be on and off through about six or seven in the evening on Friday. Once we get past that Saturday, mostly cloudy upper forties, there can be a spotty shower or two but nothing major on Sunday. Better chance for a couple of rain showers Monday of next week. If anything, a stray shower next Tuesday and then back to dry weather, Wednesday through Friday of next week with highs mostly in the forties.

LIFORECAST

I'm meteorologist Rich Hoffman, hyperlocal weather forecast. We've had some chilly weather conditions. The last 24 hours we had some snow yesterday. So the cold weather still out there with a high of 39 degrees, kind of mostly sunny to a mixture of sun and clouds. And then tomorrow mostly sunny some afternoon clouds, a high of 48 degrees and we're looking at some fifties heading towards the weekend. So a little bit of that warmer weather coming our way after the deep chill the last 24 hours, you can see feels like temperatures have been in the twenties out there for this afternoon. So cold weather running errands leaving work bundle up. You have the cold numbers, the rest that say feels like temperatures in the twenties. The evening rush hour will be dry with a temperature around 34 degrees in corm 31 at 8 p.m. and down into the twenties when you wake up tomorrow morning. So we have one more morning of the cold weather, wind chills around 20 degrees and you can tomorrow afternoon in Riverhead at one o'clock, it's around 47 degrees sunshine, dry conditions, so some nice weather with that warm up coming away on Thursday before we start to see some wet weather for Friday, a few clouds around four this afternoon, that mixture of sun and clouds, it's breezy and it's cold and you can see now we're dry today. Tomorrow, we're looking at some nice weather. Thursday afternoon, temperatures will be in the mid forties. Some clouds come in Thursday night. And then by Friday morning, we're starting to see more clouds developing not as cold Friday morning. And then for your Friday afternoon, highs will be in the fifties tracking some wet weather. Now, Friday evening, some showers coming in and they're gone rather quickly. It's about a four hour window of some wet weather highs today are in the thirties. It's sun and clouds, it's cold twenties. Four tonight. Fifties. By the time we get towards Friday now, wet weather, more rain, Sunday into Monday.

BXFORECAST

Another check of the weather. Now with storm watch team, meteorologist, Alex Kalama. Now, Alex yesterday, people even saw some flurries earlier in the day. Are we expecting that or no, no, no flurries today? But officially Central Park did consider it a trace because you saw the flurries, even though it didn't stick, that counted as a trace of snow. But today it's just plain old cold tomorrow morning, pretty chilly too. But tomorrow afternoon, we actually rebound nicely. But then we have to watch plain old rain on Friday the afternoon and the evening you'll need the umbrella. Temperatures are back close to 50 at that point. So it's definitely not going to be anything other than rain. But hey, you know, it's something you'll want to keep in mind the weekend isn't perfect. It's cloudy, but we have a chance for some sprinkles in between those clouds as well. Overall temperatures are going to be milder for the weekend than where we've been. Let's talk today though because we're still on our Wednesday and temperatures are just about as cold as they were yesterday. But the wind is not as bad. We're expecting temperatures to slowly drop into the mid thirties for any late evening plans. It will feel like closer to freezing at that point. In fact, let's talk about the, feels like temperatures because tomorrow morning we're close to 30 on the thermometer, but it does feel like mid twenties. So again, you need the winter jacket, especially early in the day, but maybe just like a light jacket in the afternoon, it's not warm, but it feels like forties and temperatures will be a little bit closer to the 50 degree mark. So tonight, again, dropping near freezing but feels like twenties everywhere. Tomorrow, close to 50 a few spots might hit 50 but I'm expecting most of the afternoon to kind of just be around the mid forties. It's also very sunny too. Today, tomorrow, the air is dry. We really don't have any worries about rain until Friday, probably late afternoon or so. We're starting to see it push through the Bronx around noon time, Friday, just light light showers. The bulk of the rain doesn't come until the later half of the evening. Commute on Friday. This is 5 p.m. and then it's added here by Saturday morning. But you do see it is mainly cloudy on Saturday. So expect those clouds to be pretty widespread Saturday and Sunday. But the rain risk is low, maybe Saturday evening, maybe Sunday night. You see a few showers. Temperatures are not nearly as cold after we get through today though. You see we're back in the forties and fifties, which is about right for this time of the year. All right, Alex.

All right. Let's take a look outside through our community camera in Norwalk Storm Watch team. Meteorologist, Jonathan Cubit. He joins us. Now he's at Orchard Hills Elementary in Milford. Hey, Becky and the kids, they got another reminder for us. They tell us not to forget our. That's right. The coldest weather we've seen so far this season, we've gotten through the worst of it earlier on this morning. But as we progress getting into tonight, one more cold shot, now, temperatures do rebound as we head into your tomorrow as well as your Friday. Unfortunately, we have to wash for showers as we push forward into your Friday night. But after we get through today into your tomorrow again, better weather temperatures starting off in the thirties. We're not going to deal with that biting and chill for your tomorrow morning while you still want to bundle up. We do better heading into your afternoon that high pressures are gonna take over, remain in control. So we're gonna continue with this dry quiet weather. You're just gonna need to grab the coat. So I know it's feeling a little bit more like midwinter for today, but we're back to more seasonal numbers even heading into your Friday. Now, first half of your Friday looks good. We're staying dry. We're actually stepping out the door into some 40 degree weather kind of where we should be for this time of year. But as we head into your afternoon, right around that lunch period, clouds start to fill in and then we're watching for some showers. We'll catch a little bit of a break for that commute home around 45 o'clock for your Friday afternoon. Getting into your Friday evening before we see another round of your showers late Friday evening into your Friday night. So, yeah, maybe date night, maybe dinner night, maybe heading out to the movies. You're definitely gonna wanna grab the umbrella or something with the hood that what weather moves in that week front is gonna produce some showers into your late Friday night before we dry out. Nicely. Heading into the weekend. First half looks good for your Saturday. Still working with some 50 degree weather. I like Saturday a little more than Sunday because it looks like we could see a few more showers in the mix to wrap up the week and looks like an unsettled pattern heading into the first half of next week.

Live Life Better: Give your home a warm and cozy makeover with an inexpensive DIY

1010BeWellDIYFallFun

This time of the year, you have to really get your home in good shape. It's mainly to make it warm and make it cozy, nice little makeover for your home. And one way to do that to embrace all those fall feels is with florals. So I paid a visit to the Diy Huntress who showed me an inexpensive way to spruce up your space. Ok. Take a look at this. This is the finished product, but we're actually going to make this right now. I'm so I'm so excited. All right, Sam, you are the Diy Huntress and you can make this in minutes. So this is a really fun project. It really is only gonna take probably a few minutes to do, which is cool. And I think one of the best parts is after the summer and doing a lot of projects, some people have a lot of left lumber so you can make this entirely with scrap wood. Yeah. So if you already have this wood in your house, you don't need to spend a single dollar on this project, which is so great. Yeah. Ok. So now how, what kind of materials do we need. So obviously, the wood. So we have the wood here and then we're also going to be using a nailer for this project. Although you could use a screw gun if you don't have a nailer. And if you don't have either one of those, you actually could just glue box together and clamp it, which is also really easy. But for our purposes, we're gonna use a nailer, we're gonna use some stain, some glue. And I have a little secret sauce for making the wood look aged like it's been sitting around for a while. So I use a torch for that. We're gonna get there in a second. OK. OK. All right. So what's step one? OK. So step one is cutting all of your pieces. There is no right answer for this. You can make it as big. You're small as you want, depending on the wood that you have, which makes it a really fun beginner project because it starts, you could start small. Yeah, exactly. So I've already precut the wood pieces to make life a little easier. I appreciate that. No problem. And what we're gonna do is we're just gonna start assembling some stuff. Right. So I'm gonna take these side pieces first, which are the small pieces. Do you want me to hold that? And then what I like to do is add a little bit of wood glue because I just think it makes life a little easier if you want to add some glue to that one. How did you know the right height to do the glue? No. Right answer. I promise you're good. I promise. I'm gonna pick it. No, no, no, you're good. That's totally fine. We can always clean that up and just course mine needs to be. No, you're good. All right. So once this is here, we're gonna just pop some nails into there. I do want to note that you're wearing. I did put my safety glasses on. OK. So now the nails are set. Yep. And what's the next thing? All right. So, because these nails are set, now we're gonna flip this over. OK? And now we're gonna add the sides. So, same thing. So we're gonna add some glue. The glue just makes everything nice and strong. Another cool thing I like about this project is because it's rusted. You don't really have to worry too, too much if things don't line up perfectly, I'm gonna show you a little fix for that in a second. So we nail that in and again, if you don't have a nailer, another thing that you can do with this project is just use screws. It's, it's one of those where it's that easy this around two tap you in. Wow, you're a pro, you're hired. OK? And now I'm gonna show you my favorite trick for making this look a little rustic. OK. So right now this looks like new wood. Right. So, what we're gonna do is I'm gonna take my torch and then I'm gonna have you try it as well. We're gonna be good. I'm scared we're gonna start it and just run it along the box. Now, how come that's not going on fire? So this is just torching the surface of the wood. If you hold it long enough, it will go on. But by just lightly torching the surface, you're gonna make a nice rustic look. I love the way it looks already. I guess. I don't think I've ever do. Is this button? You sure you got it? I'm gonna push this and then run along the box. Got a little closer. Ok. There you go. Oh my gosh. This is, wow! Ok. I feel like I should give it back to you, but it's really fun. I know it is a lot of fun. And again, same thing like no, there's no right answer here. You just have fun with it. And then I would do this all over. So this would happen all over. Yep. And then whenever you're ready, what the other thing that you can do is you can wipe some stain on here as well. And then the charring, plus the stain will give you a nice rustic glow.
