We do have warmer temperatures today. Yes, that's right. Mild temperatures, not as active winds thankfully. And we'll notice the winds out of the southwest will add on to that mild condition and high temperature for today reaching 50 degrees. Some of us, even 52 New York, you'll notice also our weather icons plenty of sunshine this afternoon. We'll notice some passing clouds, but that's it as far as you know, what can linger across our skies tomorrow though. You'll notice those rain showers into the afternoon in New Brunswick, 51 degrees. You'll expect the same across Edison and Newark 52 as well. In some locations though. We'll notice the rain arriving a little bit on the earlier side. So around 12 and to two, but that's for northern portions of the state across the state though. So central northern as well as southern portions, especially across the shore four and into seven o'clock into the afternoon, evening time frame could be expected to see that wet weather. How much, not much we're noticing trace to upwards, you know, 1/10 to 10th of an inch. So that's not significant rainfall. We're not noticing too much of major impacts with that today. It's sunny and chilly but feeling seasonable all in all we're supposed to be right where we're going to 50 degrees as a high temperature, 52 for some spots as well. Tomorrow we wake up into the thirties, we notice some clouds filtering in right around nine o'clock into lunch time. That's when we'll notice a lot of the system just, you know, breaking apart into two pieces first across Sussex and Warren County as well, North Bergen Counties as well. Then four o'clock, it's central southern portions and northern corridor, not as substantial as in the first round of rain, but nicely exiting right around seven and eight o'clock, calm conditions heading into the overnight. We start off on the dry side, too, more sunshine for Saturday, but it doesn't last for too long. The clouds will be back into play as well as those late showers arriving filtering in across for Sunday and Sunday. Then it becomes a Monday thing as well. So we're heading into the fifties, feeling so much better, even our overnight lows staying stuck into the forties.

Just Alex Kama. Fun fact, like you said, it's 10 degrees warmer today. Look at that. Yeah, it's so much nicer out there. We deserve this guys after two days of really feeling like January, we're back to feeling like November on the last day of the month. It's definitely not as cold this afternoon, but you do need the jacket this morning. I'll show you the temperatures in a bit. Showers arrive for Friday evening. So most of the day Friday dry, but it will be cloudy. The weekend looks really mild, temperature wise, but it is overcast the whole day. So waking up, you're in the thirties, it feels like twenties. But by 910 in the morning, we're all in the forties and then we move into the upper forties with lots of sunshine. The sunset is at 429. So we are going to absorb every moment of sun today, especially since we have a long stretch of cloud cover coming our direct starting tomorrow. So again, highs could hit 50 in a few spots. Most of us are just shy of it tonight. We drop into the upper thirties and low forties. So that's an improvement. You see Mott Haven at 38 for your Friday morning low and then you are 49 in frogs neck on Friday. So again, it looks like a mild day. But the difference on Friday is that it is mostly cloudy and we do have a few dry sprinkles. So here's the picture. You see most of Friday dry, but then four o'clock, a couple of these showers start to creep in by six o'clock. They push over our area. So it's kind of just sprinkling. It's not a huge impact, but you might need the umbrella Saturday dry, especially to start, but the clouds will be pretty thick. Temperatures are gonna be in the fifties just about all day and we're going to watch for that quick little stray shower chance Saturday evening. So here's how the weekend is shaping up. Definitely Saturday is the better chance for dry weather. Sunday looks more overcast with a better chance of rain in the evening, but both days will have their dry time and we're in the fifties. So it's hard to complain, especially for a first weekend in December, which is historically one of our coolest months out of the year. But this is not a bad forecast. All of these temperatures much milder than what we dealt with yesterday.

HVFORECAST

Studio. Thank you so much, Lisa. Looking at her today, you can see you're still going to need to dress appropriately. It's not like it's warm out there. She's not chattering. She's not shivering. We're getting better. Yeah. Yeah, we're getting better. It's, this morning is quite cold. I mean, we're around the twenties right now, but it's as we go throughout the mid morning into the afternoon, that's when you really will notice the difference today. It's still dark and early until we get a little bit closer to seven o'clock this morning. You'll see a lot of sunshine around today. It's going to be a nice bright day all throughout the lower Hudson Valley. These morning temperatures at best are around 30 to 34 in White Plains south into Yonkers right now. Elsewhere in the twenties, thankfully, the wind is very light, so not too much of a wind chill factor right now, but it is a cold start to the day. So you do want the heavy coat, the gloves that had all of that for the early hours this morning winds will stay light the entire day. Now, as we go through the morning hours temperatures will rise through the thirties will hit the 40 degree mark just before noon time today and we'll be in the middle and upper forties for those afternoon highs and that's going to be pretty seasonable for this time of the year. Normal average high right around 47 will be close to that. If not a degree or two below it, expect a few high clouds to build in this evening. It'll be dry but partly cloudy through the overnight overnight temperatures in the thirties to near 40 then tomorrow is going to be a nice start to our Friday, but there will be some scattered rain showers approaching for the afternoon. This is not a major storm. Rainfall totals continue to trend lighter and we're looking at rainfall totals under a quarter of an inch. With this just some spotty light rain showers tomorrow afternoon through about six o'clock tomorrow evening and then dry weather will push right back in overall into the start of the upcoming weekend. So in terms of what to wear today, you want to dress warmly early on during the afternoon. You really don't need the gloves, the hat and layers, but you certainly want the jacket with temperatures in the middle and upper forties. There still will be a slight chill around with that, but a gorgeous looking with a lot of sun as well by this evening and later on tonight, partly cloudy lows mostly in the thirties ahead of a day tomorrow where temperatures even creep a little bit closer to 50 with just a few spotty showers during the afternoon and through about six o'clock tomorrow evening. So nothing major and certainly no flooding, nothing like that tomorrow, mostly cloudy on Saturday. If anything, a touch of drizzle, but most of the day looks ok, better chance for a few showers on Sunday. Most of next week will be dry but turning colder with highs in the forties again. Starting Tuesday.

All right, let's get a check of the forecast with Rich Hoffman. It is going to be a bit warmer out there today. I am happy about that after the cold conditions this morning with twenties and thirties. How about temperatures in the mid upper forties? With that sunshine? We're looking much nicer around the island for today. We're getting back to average and actually a little bit above average towards the weekend, but we do have some changes coming our way. Some clouds, some wet weather will be on the horizon today, temperatures are in the mid and upper forties. You can see through Brentwood this afternoon. There's your sunshine, mostly sunny skies. A few clouds coming in towards this evening and for the evening rush hour dry weather conditions with temperatures in the mid forties, wind chills this morning have been in the twenties and thirties. Yes, it has been cold this morning. We're improving our weather during our afternoon hours. Take a look around the tri state region. Sunshine from the east end to the west end, Nassau County, seven County heading into the five boroughs of Queens down along the Jersey shoreline heading north today mostly sunny skies. Take a look at our temperatures here for today. 48 degrees, mostly sunny tonight. Partly cloudy skies. A little chilly to cold at 38 but not as cold. The last couple of morning we've had temperatures in the twenties with wind chills in the teens and twenties. The cold weather is with us. Now, going through the afternoon hours, temperatures, mid and upper forties, you can see here at around 330 going towards tonight. A few passing clouds, your evening rush hour will be dry with temperatures in the lower forties. For your Friday morning temperatures around 35 to 40 before eight o'clock. We're right around 930. Now, mid forties, even some fifties popping up more sunshine on Friday and then towards Friday evening, a few spotty showers start to develop some nuisance showers coming our way and an overnight Friday just kind of cloudy skies. But drier weather conditions into Saturday and a few more raindrops coming in Saturday night into your Sunday. So recapping your Thursday forecast today, forties to around 50 degrees, mostly sunny and nice afternoon. Then for tonight, lows are in the thirties, partly cloudy skies and then going into tomorrow, we can see here fifties after morning sunshine showers Friday evening, mostly cloudy Saturday showers coming in Sunday, Monday, but temperatures in the fifties

Beautiful. That's so nice. Yeah, I did a great job and you got something nice, didn't you? From your weather? Kids from yesterday? Or Hills Elementary? He sent a nice thank you dear Mr Cubit. We are glad that you came to. We hope you like the car. Did they make you a car? They did. It made a nicer in edition of Thunderbolt 12. Coming up there. They are right there. You are. They knew a lot about the seasons. They said summer, winter were their favorites. They told us about a little different kind of precipitation that happens year round. Oh, they were really jumping in with the answer. There are thunderbolt. Oh, we love it. And there's the note and there's the note they made for you say it was a good visit, John. It was a good visit. They reminded us to wear our coats because it's cold outside. I'm with you. I'm not a fan of the cold eye. We see those temperatures rebound as we push forward, getting into the later part of this afternoon. But as we roll into your December for tomorrow, we are opening up this month on a little bit of a wet not, but again, numbers closer to average 49 for this time of year, we'll see 47. So listen, two degrees here there. We're looking pretty fine. Lots of sunshine. We continue to stay dry. High pressure is in control. 46 for Newtown. That's your two hour 46 for us here across Newark, 44 for Bridgeport. And then as we head into here tonight, not all too bad, still, not quite as cold, do need the jacket but thirties we'll take, we'll see forties on the wake up for your tomorrow morning. Lots of sunshine, clouds fill in late morning. Then that sets the stage for rain which we have on tap for the early parts of your afternoon for some spots. A little bit of some light scattered shower activity, a little bit of a break, mid-afternoon. Then that commute home on a Friday evening. Yeah, it could be a little bit of a doozy certainly with adding some rain to the forecast. So if you could sneak out the offense a little bit early, you should be pretty fine. But for those that do have to trek along I 95. And the merit again, we're watching for a few showers. Then by your Friday night, we're looking good. By around 7789 o'clock, we're drying out nicely. Still working with decent numbers into the forties. Not quite too cold as if you're gonna be out and about for your Friday night, you're looking good and then pushing into your Saturday, we're looking dry first half of the weekend looks pretty good. It's really gonna be Sunday, late part of the day. We're gonna see showers back into the picture. And again, we're looking a little unsettled as we're opening about the month of December.

Live Life Better: Host the ultimate summer party

It is the time of year where we soak up the sun, really enjoy our time outside. So when it comes to outdoor entertaining or even party going, we've got this summer's must have from Social Life magazine is here with the season's trend. And if you are hosting a party, one guest that is not invited, mosquitoes. So everything you need for your outdoor event is, can be provided from heritage farm and garden. And this is my go to in, it's citronella with sea salt and it's, it's so great. It's, that's this. Yes, you can put them on sticks all around your table or, or place them in your planter. It's, um, beautiful ocean air, sea salt and jasmine scent. It's not irritating. There's no deep or, um, synthetic pesticides in that. I'm asthmatic. It doesn't bother me. It's really beautiful, um, smelly. The burn time is about an hour and it definitely keeps the bugs away. Ok. And the good thing is there are, there are 50 sticks in this container, so it's about 30 bucks. Now, over here, this is, if you're, you know, really beat the mosquitoes this, these are about $20 right. If you want to take it a step further before your guests arrive, you're gonna spray the perimeter of your property, the pool side, the barbecue, it's gonna get rid of the mosquitoes. It's safe for Children. Um, and it lasts up to two weeks and you can attach it with your hose and then wildlife, it's also a wildlife repellent. If you're in the Hamptons or out east on the east end and there's raccoons and deer before your event, it doesn't harm the animals. You spray it with the hose around the perimeter of where you're hosting. It just causes like a slight irritation to the eyes and the nose and it makes keep them at bay. Ok. And now what about this beautiful orchid? Oh my God. So these are custom made and heritage farm and garden by Mark. And they are just so fabulous because they stay in bloom 2 to 4 months. And all you have to do is, uh, water them with two shot full of water on each stem once every two weeks. And then when the flowers do die, see this, um, nodule right here, you cut, um, below the nodule and, um, it blooms. So you just have to water it like as directed and it's gonna last forever. So you really get a lot for your money. Ok. So now we're setting the table scape and I love the idea of the ceramic because this looks so great, but it's not going to break. You don't want any glass by your pool or, I mean, really anywhere, it really, it's unbreakable. It's acrylic. It dresses up your whole table top for outdoor. It's great to take on the boat. It's great for the pool. It's safe for Children and it's dressy. It's dish washable. It's durable feel. Yeah. And it's pretty, it's like glass also. Um, the glassware, the same thing. It's not glass. It's acrylic, it's acrylic and it doesn't break. It's so pretty dishwasher. Now, this is bamboo. So it's eco friendly right away. I look at it. I say yes. Yep. Eco friendly. It is. And um what's so great about this is you get several uses out of it. It breaks down into the environment without damaging the environment. It's from sustainable plantation. So it's better than a paper plate that's whimsical and it's more durable. The food kind of falls off. A paper plate gets yucky with heavy food items. Sure. All right. Now, let's talk about prepping for the party. First. We gotta think about our face. If you want beautiful looking skin, Elizabeth, you must try. So skin our created by leading dermatologist Dr Howard. So Bell, who pioneered the use of prescription great ingredients and over the counter products and all of his products in his entire skin care system contains the highest concentration of active ingredients such as vitamin C retinol stem cells, pep and glycolic acid. And this is his vitamin C fusion serum. It has three potent levels of vitamin C that's going to, um, brighten your skin, strengthen and tighten it. And you're gonna have that J Lo Glow. OK. You have that. I like that. And then I, sorry. Yeah. No, I was gonna say you also want to dress your body. So the great thing I know about this one is that it's interchangeable. You can get it in different colors, the tops and bottoms. That's right. And these are from, um, Bay rather. They're beautiful. You can interchange them. They're light, it's 100% cotton. So when you're outdoors at your event, it's not gonna be clingy, it's gonna keep you cool. And they also make little, um, beautiful dresses, Jimmy with dresses. That's right. And they're fashion forward, they're comfortable and they're not expensive. Ok? We don't want to forget our feet. Ok. This is the steel and that's the splurge. So this side is under 50 bucks, under 50. They're great for the pool. Their little slides knock off Bergen Stock. They're rubber. They're great for the beach anywhere outdoor where you're hosting your event. And these are a little more dressy, the drills, the woven, the woven wedges and the slides and we have to protect our eyes. Of course. So why not do it in style vision? Source of Huntington carries all these beautiful shades. You have gorgeous Prada on. I have Tom Ford. These are really reasonable place. They're only a couple $100. But if you do not have sunglasses on, you're at risk for possibly developing skin care, skin cancer rather on your eyelid or around your eyes. And that's the, the big frame is really in right now. Exactly. So maximum is on trend which is amazing and so are bold colors and color blocking. Like J Lo can be seen wearing that black and white product. So, I mean, really great this year to have these oversized frames and we don't wanna forget our best friends. I I think this is hysterical because of it instead of it saying white cloths as white paws that so community pet in Huntington has the most incredible healthy food and treats and they just have such a, a wide variety. This is just a little toy pet, but I just wanted to show you this is roster. This has such a beautiful back story. It's about a street dog that was emaciated and was rescued by um a family who was on vacation in Europe. So it is the only bio organic dog food in the world. That's a super food. It's loaded with antioxidants. It has spinach, quinoa, strawberries, blueberries, all these treats are under 15 bucks and don't forget that I'm featuring you in our Life Worth and show. So you have to pick up a copy of Social Life. I love it. They may be your favorite fruit, but there's a lot more to those bananas. There's also many varieties of banana plants, meteorologist and garden guru, Alex Kaia, breaks it all down. And this week's garden guide.
