Well, let's get a check of your local weather with Storm March team. Meteorologist Hilda Estevez. Hilda. Yes. Sah. So we are talking, you know, significant a warmth, especially for today. They're quite big of a departure for December 2nd, you know, approximately 10 to 15 degrees above where we should be for this time. Also, we're expecting a soggy Sunday on and off rain showers and they're exiting sooner than anticipated. And that is a good thing because that means that we have a drier at evening and heading into dinner time as well. Seasonal return on Wednesday, Thursday and notice our rain chances pretty consistent and very well up there, close to 100% well into the morning and even beyond lunchtime. So it's rounds of rain. So we could expect to see this continuing and lingering into five o'clock. Now, when it's all said and done, approximately seven o'clock, I think is for sure the exit time for all this rainy weather and we're expecting close to an inch of rainfall when it's all said and done. Now, we are expecting to see some more showers possibly forming for Wednesday and some snow flakes and that potential comes also with a cooler temperature. So today, enjoy this amazing warming trend. Close to 60 degrees 730 brings those clouds thickening and building. Of course, once again in those showers, arriving into the overnight, a little bit later on the onset of them. And then of course, they are a bit more widespread right around seven o'clock tomorrow, heavier in points. South Newark also getting there by nine, we notice that it's a bit more progressive and intensity all throughout the state. And by 12 o'clock, we notice things lightening up for central and northern New Jersey staying pretty consistent and a bit more bulked in that portion of the state. Now that exits right around four and five o'clock and we're left with some clouds gradually clearing out, heading into the evening and overnight time frame. Now Monday looks better and a bit cooler with the forties. Here's a look at our exclusive 10 day forecast.

Take it, you know, today, I'm calling it for a good ish day now because you're not going to be seeing the wet weather and notice our silver lining here, 60 degrees. That's nice and very warm, big departure for December 2nd. And uh we are noticing the trend also heading into the pre dawn hours into tomorrow. Now by tomorrow afternoon, you'll definitely need those umbrellas, a lighter jacket alert for sure. Today, what to wear looks like that um, umbrella for tomorrow's soggy on and off showers all day and heading into dinner time. That's when things really start to improve. But a seasonal return once again, specifically Wednesday into Thursday, as we walk you through our future cast, the clouds are here and they will continue to stay with us thickening and also gradually building to more shower activity heading into overnight at first light, but then we have these rounds of rain. So, you know, not everyone gets to see them and experience them all at once, but their heavier pockets also embedded as early as eight and seven o'clock in the morning. You'll notice Brooklyn, you kinda see that, especially when we're talking about heading towards the afternoon time frame. So after 12 o'clock, that's when we can start to notice a bit more of those moderate heavier pockets, the contours of the deeper um, greens, as well as oranges and yellows. We're gonna need those umbrellas handy all day tomorrow. So be mindful of that accessory by four o'clock, things really lighten up and the showers seem like they kind of exit. But, you know, we are left with the clouds still at bay. So it's kind of a bit more of a damp start heading into Monday. Nice, beautiful clearing and the sunshine is back into play as we start off the next week. Now, as far as rain total, it looks like this. So three quarters of an inch close to an inch for some spots, very localized. I'm not very concerned about localized flooding. Uh but because it seems to be such kind of like nuisance rain, it's just gonna be a rainy day and that's something to just be mindful about. By Tuesday, Wednesday, we get back into the forties and as we start off Hanukkah on Thursday, we are expecting drier conditions and high temperatures into the forties. Much more like December.

Looking day out there. But it's definitely better today than it is tomorrow and we even have a few peaks of sun. Possible. We are kind of wedged in between two air masses. We have a really humid setup in between, but there is a little bit of dry air higher up in the atmosphere that could bring some breaks in the clouds. I think that the model guidance is kind of overdo the sunshine, but I wanted to show you his bigger picture view because you can now see that next storm system coming our direction. So probably seeing more clouds and fog by about 1011 o'clock tonight, the latest and then by Sunday morning, even if you're an early riser, you're waking up to light rain and persistent rain and it's just going to continue all morning on Sunday, all afternoon. It's a gross feel. Now, the good news is most of this rain is light so that kind of limits the severe aspect to it. But you know, these roads could be a little bit slick because of just the amount of rain, just the duration of it just really lasting all day. There are improvements for Monday morning, we're seeing peaks of sunshine early in the day, but then things cloud over Monday afternoon, we have a northwest wind that's gonna come in and cool us down. So here are your temperatures this afternoon? We're in the mid ff as we close off the evening. How about near 50 again? It's gonna feel a little chillier because we start to introduce rain into the forecast. You're low tonight in Kingston is 40 it's 47 in Yonkers, so not a huge spread and we don't warm up much on Sunday. You're only 45 in Kingston now, that's pretty close to average, but you factor in the rain and it feels so much chillier. Westchester County, maybe parts of Rock County, you could hit 50 tomorrow. But again, this is coming with a guarantee that it is gonna rain. Now, there could be a few dry breaks, but most of the day is gonna be wet and then for the work week, we dry out. So, you know, good timing. If you have plans for the work week, 50 on Monday might be a little optimistic because we do vet northwest breeze in the afternoon. I am expecting a majority of the day to be in the forties and then we are stuck in the low forties for Wednesday for Thursday. The first night of Hanukkah looks very cold and so does Wednesday night at 26. That's gonna be pretty chilly next weekend we rebound, close to average, but we're tracking a chance for some precipitation. So we'll keep an eye on it for you. You're watching News? 12.

It's gonna cool down again in the 10 day. Let's talk about the bigger issue, which is going to be the rain tomorrow. So we do have cloudy skies all weekend, obviously a fog out there this morning too. So that's creating some visibility issues. But on Sunday, it is a steady rain for a good chunk of the day. So today is the pick out of the weekend. There'll be some peaks of sunshine this afternoon around lunch, but not much of it. Temperatures are in the mid ff maybe even upper fifties if we get enough sunshine, but I would not count on the sun. It's gonna be a possibility that we, you got a few breaks in the clouds, but most of the day is pretty cloudy. This is 5 p.m. the sun is already set and temperatures are still in the fifties. So you don't need the heavy winter jacket. Just a light jacket. Today will do dinner time is mainly dry, but after 89 o'clock, there could be some spritzes and stray showers. It's a all day full LG wash out on Sunday, light rain in the morning, check this out. Temperatures are in the fifties in the morning, that's above average for the afternoon at this point in the year. But we don't warm up on Sunday. It's gonna stay 50 all day with this very persistent, very steady and very damp rain that just sticks around until I'd say about six o'clock or so. So, if you have any brunch lunch, early dinner plans Sunday, I just don't see a lot of opportunity for dry time for you here. So we're gonna keep that in mind. Temperatures are not bad all the way through Monday. We're hanging out in the fifties. Today's high of 56 is the warmest that we've actually seen since mid November morning. Lows are in the forties, so no worries about frost. No worries about cold when you're stepping out the door. Tuesday morning, we're back down to 36. So that's kind of setting the stage for a cooler upcoming work week, 46 there, 43 on Wednesday and 42 on Thursday. It's not the coldest set we've seen, but it is definitely pretty chilly for that first night of Hanukkah. Expected to definitely feel like it is December, but we rebound a little bit next weekend with another chance for some rain. Just a little heads up on that. But the work week does look dry. Not that we want to talk about the work week on a Saturday, but that's how it's shaping up

CTFORECAST

With a look at your hyper local forecast that looks pretty good this morning felt good. Is it going to stick around? Yes. Do you know, I think it will, you know, especially with these temperatures, as I think really the silver lining for this weekend's weather story now notice close to 55 degrees by one o'clock and three. What's not to love, notice our weather icons though. Yes, it's cloudy and it will remain that way. Some limited sunshine into the afternoon could be expected, but this is what we're also trying for tomorrow. Some showers a light in nature, widespread and long lasting. So think for the better half of tomorrow, you're going to be using the umbrellas, especially if you're heading out and about for tomorrow when it's all said and done totals look like this. So anything from a half, close to three quarters for coastal communities and even more upwards towards touring in Litchfield County closer to an inch. So it's nuisance rain. It's not so much. Um We're not expecting any concerns with the system tomorrow today. Enjoy cloudy and mild temperatures and some showers off to our north could be dripping back down. But I really think that for the most part we are going to send, still stand dry for today. 45 heading into fifties west and take a look at that 56 degrees. It's mild. I mean, we really shouldn't be seeing these types of temperatures as we're heading started as we're getting started into the month of December. But here we go. Don't worry that downward trend and temperatures is coming very soon as we walk you through our future cast by two o'clock in the morning. So overnight, not truly impactful when the showers arrive but very long lasting. So as we're waking up around 56 o'clock in the morning, tomorrow, the showers are here and they're here to stay. Sometimes they start to lighten up a little bit, becoming a bit more isolated. And then by 10 o'clock in the morning, we'll notice those more moderate heavier pockets noted here in the dark green as well as the yellows heading into lunch time, you'll still need that umbrella by two o'clock heading into four. That's when we're starting to notice a bit more impactful wet weather. So take it slow if you're driving, um, especially in the merit as well as 95 by five into seven o'clock, things exit calming down significantly. The clouds will linger until Monday. So perhaps maybe a damp start heading into Monday and a bit more seasonable temperatures return by Tuesday, Wednesday, 39. By Thursday. The start of Hanukkah.

Hot Toys: Toys designed to stop the summer slide

0717BeWellToysDesignedSummerSlide

Kids look forward to it all year. Summer is obviously full of sun and sand and of course, a break from the homework. Exactly. The best part. Right. And we're all about having fun, of course, but we don't want our kids to fall behind when school starts back up. All right, our Christie reader shows us toys that are designed to stop that summer slide. Hi, Shannon and Elizabeth. I'm on a great assignment here. I get to play with toys. Now as a parent myself, I know we all dread that summer slide. We want to keep the kids on top of their game. We want to keep them learning. And I'm looking at so many different options, including this one from National Geographic volcano. Be back, toss game, get them outside and learning at the same time. And there are so many other options, ready set learn. We went to the experts at the Sweet, sweet event where they were showing off the latest toys. Jackie Coco is a senior editor at the toy Insider, a company that reviews thousands of toys. She showed us the top teaching toys. This is the hydraulic boxing. So this is a great stem to because kids are going to build these two robots using Idul which is water power. So it's teaching them physics engineering, there's gears in it and then they can battle coming in at 49 95 an option for the younger crowd. This is the express yourself set. So you can see it comes in a little school bus to get the little kids ready for school and it's going to focus on social emotional learning. It has these activity cards and then parents can ask these questions to help kids feel their feelings. Under $20 I tested out the Shiba puzzle toy that gives hours of play. It makes over 70 different shapes and it has 36 magnets of the star. It could become a hive or the hive could be a UFO costing $25.
