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.

U.S. Masters darts tournament returns to MSG

All right. For the second straight year, the best dart players in the world are right here in New York City. In fact, this Friday and Saturday, it's the US darts masters at the theater at Madison Square Garden. I remember this from last year and I remember that sports director Pat o'keefe had a great time this year. He spoke with the current world champ. Michael Smith says that last year's US masters. The first one held in New York was a smashing success. The Americans were hyper. They love to shout, they love to scream. Of course, it helps when you win winning. It was like MSG in Madison Square Garden. I said it was Michael Smith's Garden instead. And now he's back. Eight of the world's leading dart players will take on eight North American representatives at the two day event. Darts is a social sport or an activity played in taverns and bars throughout the world. Oftentimes accompanied by an adult beverage. So we can't expect to see you with like a pint in your left hand throwing with your right hand on Friday. If you go on youtube, you might see that years ago. But not now, we practiced for these situations where not only in a pub where you play at the bar, having a drink with your friends, having a laugh. Now, what are you playing for? Thousands and thousands of pounds? However, Smith might never have been in this position. Were it not for an accident when he was 14 years old? I was going to school on my bike and I fell off, my bike broke my hip. So I used to play rugby when I was younger. I could never play. Obviously the injury and I just started watching my dad practice. I was like, you know, what could I have a go? And I think three or four years later I joined the BBC and become a professional and now he is the best in the world performing in our town this weekend at Madison Square Garden, Pat o'keefe News.
