Another check of that hyperlocal forecast. Definitely not as cold out there today and we have the sunshine too. So overall, this is just about as good as it gets for us. Not a bad way to close off the month, but we start off December with more clouds and a chance for a shower in the evening. It's mostly light rain, but it'll probably be around through the whole evening commute. Then the weekend comes with cloudy skies kind of spritzes and a little bit of drizzle. But as you see, temperatures have been kind of hovering close to 50 this afternoon and then we drop into the mid forties for any evening plans. So 7 p.m. dinner time looks cool but not cold. We're chilly in the morning time on Friday, a few spots close to freezing, but I'm expecting us to stay above it. And then Friday afternoon, temperatures are mostly in the mid forties with high temperatures close to 50 but it won't feel as warm tomorrow. And that's because we have cloudy skies. Here's a look at four o'clock seeing very light showers pass through the city and that will continue kind of on and off for us here in the Bronx at five o'clock, still some light showers tomorrow and then closing off Friday evening with just mainly cloudy skies. Those clouds just are so stubborn. Best chance of seeing the sun is gonna be on Saturday, but there's not much of it expect clouds to build overnight. Saturday with a few showers. If you have late Saturday evening plans, I'm talking after dinner time, Sunday, rain pretty much expected at some point in the afternoon or evening. Definitely not looking like a total wash at this point. But the later you get in the day, the better bahrain risk gets. So you need the umbrella there. Probably gonna need it for Monday morning too. That's still a few days out. But at least temperatures still look quite mild there and we're expecting high temperatures to stay only in the mid forties from the middle of next week. It's gonna be a little cool.

Student loan forgiveness deadline approaches

10.26loanforgiveness

President joe biden's student loan forgiveness plan is being challenged right now, but not all hope is lost, especially if you're a public employee or work for a nonprofit, there's a chance to have your debt forgiven but there are a few catches and you're gonna need to act real fast. That deadline is fast approaching. It's on monday and told Julio Avila shares what you need to know, what are you learning about this program, Julio it almost sounds too good to be true, but it's not, it's actually a federal program called the public service loan forgiveness program that can help wipe out student debt at least that's what it did for one city employee we spoke to, It's over. I don't think about it anymore. You know, I don't have to think about it anymore. But Hannah did at one point she's talking about her student loan debt that she described as crushing. After graduating in 2006 from Cornell University where she studied city and regional planning. I found myself feeling before I signed my promissory notes, having this moment knowing that when I graduated that I would have to deal with an incredible amount of student loan debt for a very long time. She then went to Columbia University for grad school and got a job with the new york city department of city planning. I do enjoy feeling as if I contribute to the greater good of the city and it's a job that I feel proud of and I also um find rewarding the debt though wasn't rewarding. In fact, it was the opposite as Hannah's says, repaying student loans cost her thousands of dollars each year. But she says she visited one of the city's financial empowerment centers which informed her of the federal public service loan forgiveness program. The program started in 2007 and helps those who work in public service repay the remaining balance on their direct loans after making 100 and 20 qualifying monthly payments. And now you can get credits for payments that did not qualify in the past, but you need to apply for a waiver by monday now that she's debt free. Maybe now I can actually think about what else I want to do with my life. You know, as much as I enjoy public service. There are other things I've been wanting to do now to see if you do meet those eligible eligibility requirements. Just head on over to news 12 dot com but definitely keep in mind that the deadline is october 31st were in University Heights on Julio Avila News 12 definitely act fast to make the most of that opportunity
