First full weekend of December officially upon us, but it doesn't really feel like it out there at all. Was that 60 degrees for Saturday? Really nice. Can't complain a little wet though today. Yeah, it was a little wet a couple of hours ago, but at least we got some dry conditions to kick off the weekend. That will be quickly changing by Sunday. Here's what you can expect. Waves of rain starting Saturday night into Sunday night. So that's going to be a long duration storm where we are expecting rounds of rain, steady rain with a few downpours possible. So you're gonna have to watch for some puddles ponding on area roadways. And if you live somewhere that has poor drainage, you're probably going to see some more of that localized flooding. In terms of tomorrow morning, we're starting off chilly. Temperatures near 46 degrees areas of fog will be to move into our area. It will lift and clouds will still be with us throughout the afternoon with temperatures topping out near 58 degrees muted sunshine. So not seeing that sunshine that we like to see, but at least it's going to remain dry. During the evening, it is still going to remain dry with clouds, but showers do arrive late after midnight. That's where we start to see some of that wet weather pushing through. But at least we got these unseasonably mild temperatures. Our average high 49 degrees. We're not going to see the forties until the midweek. And that's also where we start to see there. I say some festive flakes returning back to our area. But in the meantime, let's just enjoy the dry weather. So some clouds and fog to start our Saturday, it is going to remain dry throughout the day. Temperatures will be topping out near 58 degrees and we got some rain.

Manhattan College men's basketball welcomes new head coach John Gallagher

A new era about to get underway over at Manhattan College as the Jaspers have hired John Gallagher as the new men's basketball coach. He told sports director Pat o'keefe spoke with the new man in charge, John Gallagher is fired up. I'm just so excited that the history, the tradition, um the great respect I have for the institution, the lasalle and values. Um I'm just excited to get going. Gallagher was the head coach at Hartford for 12 years and in 2021 he led them to their only NCAA turning appearance in program history. Now, he is tasked with bringing the Jaspers back there for the first time since 2015. So what is priority number one players, right? Players? It goes like this players staff and at the same time reaching out to the to the people that really care about Manhattan basketball. When Gallagher was named head coach on Wednesday, several Jaspers players expressed their disappointment on social media that interim head coach Rashawn Stores wasn't given the job on a full time basis. One of Gallagher's first acts as head coach was to meet with the players. I just told them we're going to have meetings, you know, uh Wednesday, we're gonna meet and I'll have a better idea of where the roster is on Wednesday afternoon. I gave everybody the option to give time, you know, and sort of, you know, get their emotions together, you know, think about it. But the transfer portal is something Gallagher will have at his disposal as he tries to improve a program that hasn't had a winning record in eight years. We have a huge opportunity. There's some really, really good players out there. There's some really, really pat, there's some great players that fit Manhattan and that's my job to really figure out how we get them and return Manhattan to the level of success it has enjoyed in the past at Dr Gymnasium in Riverdale, Pat o'keefe News 12.
