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.

‘The Brooklyn Nutcracker’ show returns to Kings Theatre for holiday season

Well, the Brooklyn Nutcracker is returning to the King's Theater next month with a new twist taking on a mix of hip hop and ballet. And this year's production along with other genres News Twelve's Marilynn Buckley's here. She's got a sneak peek at this year's production during rehearsal and she joins us now from the Brooklyn Ballet in downtown Brooklyn, Mary Lynn, what can you tell us? Then we got to meet a bunch of these different cast members and they told us they have been working very hard to get to where they are now practicing up to four days a week just to get ready for next month's performance. And they tell us that this year the production is going to have some twists and turns. Unlike previous years, we're talking about street dance collaboration, ballet dancers and even other genres. We got to sit in and watch some of the and boy, were they in tense? These dancers tell us that they come from all over and there are over 90 cast members performing this year. This year, musicians have also been added to the cast as well and we sat in for a sneak peak we're told that rehearsals have been happening at least four times a week and they all are getting so excited for this year's production of the Brooklyn Nutcracker. They say it definitely has a New York flair. We've just thought about who Brooklyn is, uh, who lives in Brooklyn, who dances in Brooklyn, what dances have come out of Brooklyn and then adding the iconic uh ballet, the Nutcracker ballet, which everybody knows and everybody loves and kind of really how do those two worlds come together? I feel like it's a definitely a more authentic experience watching this Nutcracker. And it really embraces all the cultures of Brooklyn. So many of the cast members so excited to be part of this year's production. It kicks off next month at the King's Theater, December 16th with two performances open to the public 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. They are selling tickets and they are already have two sold out shows that are going to be for New York City public school students. But everyone very excited for this year's production and eager to see what the audience is going to think. That's the latest here in downtown Brooklyn. Mary Lynn Buckley News 12.
