Before 10 tomorrow night. And for anyone thinking of heading to midtown and taking that in, in person, you best be bundled up. Yeah, it is going to be brick. So hopefully you guys can bundle up, try to stay warm and you know, this is what you need to wear, stepping out the door tomorrow morning, you know, temperatures are gonna be in the upper twenties to start 40 degrees by the afternoon. But you're still gonna need the heavy coat, the air muffs hat, the Uggs, the tins, you need it all because of those winds. It's still going to be whipping out of the west near 1525 MPH. So this is where the morning is starting and this is where we're going throughout the day. So as you're standing on the platform, just make sure that you bundle up and try to stay warm again. The gloves will do you some good tomorrow evening is where temperatures begin to, you know, still remain very cold, but the winds won't be too much of an issue. Lighter winds out of the west 5 to 15 MPH. Thursday, the pick of the week lots of sunshine to enjoy so chilly with temperatures in the upper forties, but at least for seeing the forties, that's going to be a welcome sight by our Thursday with lighter winds. Now, looking ahead to our Friday, that's where we start to see the chance for some wet weather pushing through Friday afternoon, lingering into evening, catching a break on our Saturday, but can't rule out stray showers still trying to fine tune the timing of this storm. But a bigger storm system, it is gonna give us more steadier rainfall throughout the day on our Sunday and even leading into Monday. And it is gonna take us into an unsettled weather pattern through early next week, which is gonna be the first full week of December temperatures in the fifties. But then we got some wet weather to deal with.

Poly Prep female sports continue history of success

High school is celebrating 45 years offering high level female sports and as news, 12 sports director, Pat o'keefe explains the accomplishments for this program. Keep growing year after year, for years, poly prep has remained a powerhouse across the now 13 varsity sports offered to its female students. The Dyker Heights, Brooklyn school's ample facilities, an emphasis on sports leading to league championships and dozens of its students going on to play in college during freeze. I come in here in the weight room and I get stronger and I work on my mobility and also I have access upstairs to the gym, even though nobody's there, there's always a net up. I just do reps by myself. Ariana Rodriguez has competed for the Dominican Republic's National volleyball team and will play at the University of Miami. Her teammate at Polly Clinton Hills Elector batch will also be playing in college. But water polo at, there's a huge difference between water polo and swimming where I know I need to perform and my numbers are being looked at or my performance is being looked at as opposed to volleyball. It's just going out there and trying my best and having fun. A lot of stress helping to provide the platform is athletic director, Kim Carter, who competed for the US track and field team at the 1992 Olympics. Athletics has no gender, female athlete, male athlete. You wake up in the morning, you have the intention of trying to do the best that you can possibly do, push yourself to places that you might not have thought that you can go Like Julia Bell Raif, a javelin thrower who grew up in Mill Basin and will be competing in the Ivy League next year for Brown. There's not many schools in New York, New York City or New York, New York City where you have a whole field that you can use or a whole weight room. So the facilities here are definitely made me the athlete that I am and there is also the team success exhibited by among others, the Blue Devils softball team, the championship game was really awesome just because it was sort of like that moment where we seen all our hard work, like come to fruition and we have all of this now, Pat o'keefe News 12.
