The overnight weather and what we can expect tomorrow morning, Michelle. All right. Well, there is rain on the way, but tomorrow morning's commute actually looks pretty good. It's that evening ride home that will feature some of that rain and roads are going to be wet at that point. So the morning looks good. The afternoon looks good and you know what, those temperatures look good as well. It's another mild day, but unfortunately, the wet weather does win out winds are going to be and west pulling in that milder air. Now, all evening long, we've seen some clouds around, but the sky should be clearing by the time we get to the morning here, there's no rain though. Just some cloudiness hugging the 95 corridor basically from north to south. Here's the wet weather. It's a good distance away. It's coming at us from the plains and deep south. It's going to scoop up some of that moisture. But the good thing is this is not a big storm and it's moving very rapidly. So rain chances come in in the afternoon and they will exit at night. But that's not the end of the story. There could be more rain on the way throughout parts of the weekend. In the meantime, though, temperatures are cooling 30 on the way for the morning, it's not quite as cold and then fifties take over the next few days, but we'll have to carry those umbrellas as well and I'll be back with that full forecast. So stay with us, Roxanne back to you Michelle.

Let's see where our forecast is going as we head into uh the overnight hours, it is going to be chilly, but it's a seasonable chill. It's a clear to a partly cloudy sky overnight. Low temperatures, we're gonna go from the forties down into the upper thirties. It's a clear to a partly cloudy sky. It's a south westerly wind at around 5 to 10 miles an hour. Some of the coldest air is up towards northern sections of New Jersey and if you have a chance and you're up late at night, it is a stretch. Listen, it is a stretch, but there is an opportunity community maybe to see the northern lights even this far south in northern sections of New Jersey, you have to be looking north, you have to be looking low on the horizon so trees can't be in the way it's not going to be overhead, it is going to be on the horizon, but there is an opportunity maybe to see the northern lights a little bit later on tonight. That's if we could get rid of the cloud coverage, you gotta remember that we were, we're coming off of a full moon. So that's also not going to help viewing as well. But there's still that chance tonight's temperatures backing down into the mid to upper thirties, which is normal for this time of year, early sunshine giving way to cloud coverage. And then we've got the showers that'll be moving across the area at some point late tomorrow afternoon. It's cloudy on Saturday. We see more rain showers returning on Sunday, a little bit of a break. Monday afternoon going into Tuesday and we'll have the opportunity for some rain showers moving into the forecast by middle of the week next week. But temperatures are really starting to drop again back into the mid forties. I'll have more details coming up in just a little bit.

The Real Deal: How to cook up Thanksgiving sides for less 

1117CTREALDEAL7A

Our friends over at investopedia broke down some of the prices that you'll be paying in the grocery store. This Thanksgiving data shows that prices are actually down this year for an £8 ham. You'll be paying about $24.35 for a £16 turkey, $18.85 cents for £3 of potatoes. About three bucks and for almost a pound of cranberries just under $2 prices are down about 4%. So we went over to our friends at the pantry and chef Dan gave us a few ideas of things that we can cook on a dime for the holiday. A butternut squash soup. Uh You can use any squash. You can even use sweet potato. It's super easy. Four ingredients, nothing hard. Just a little bit of oil, some shallots. J I'm gonna tell you four ingredients, I mean four ingredients, some butternut squash and this was quick. Just sauteing it up a little bit. Just getting uh just getting little flavors. Going touch of cinnamon and then some water. Once the squash is soft, pure it, it's beautifully silky, delicious butternut squash soup. And then what I did was I took a little bit of uh this to pump the seeds that were inside. Just throw a little bit of seeds outside as a nice garnish. Next, we're gonna make cranberry sauce. Now you can buy cranberry canned cranberry sauce super cheap. But a lot of high fructose corn syrup in there. And I'm, I'm not really trying to, I'm not trying to take all that in. Especially on the holidays. I wanna save all that for dessert. Cranberries, orange zest sugar as much sugar as you desire. I put about a half a cup to one bag of cranberries and one orange. It's going in a pan, orange juice, a little bit of water. You're gonna just simmer it a few minutes. Really get those berries popping, let the sugar melt into that liquid. Throw it in, blend it up after it's blended. We have a super rich delicious cranberry sauce with some sugar. Got no little bit of acid and orange cuts that, that tartness of the cranberry. Super easy and delicious. And chef Dan has a few tips to help you save money on your Thanksgiving dinner. Don't be afraid to jump off some stovetop stuffing. It's cheap. It's easy. You can doctor it up however you want add some apples and cranberries chicken stock. A lot of people prefer chicken and turkey this time of year. It's actually cheaper to get a whole chicken. Also talking about people coming over for the holidays. Don't be afraid to ask people to help you out. You know, potlucks beautiful things to keep an idea. I'm Alexa Farrell and that's the real deal.
