Purdue. Fort Wayne did last night. Look at it. He blocked the shot of a Southern Indiana player with right there that I don't know, size 14 shoe. I mean that, what does that give you like an extra? Well, I do declare get that weak stuff out of here. Wait, is that legal? Can you take your shoe off and block a shot apparently in this game? Yes, it is. Who's gonna argue with him? He's holding a shoe. Let's walk over the weather and see where this forecast is headed. We are looking at mainly cloudy skies. Temperatures are going to be in the upper thirties. We will see the clouds thin and we'll look for the temperatures to cool off. Now. It's not going to be uh, like what we've been dealing with where morning lows have been in the twenties, but we are looking for that seasonable chill to take you into the overnight as we were just talking about it is the first night of Hanukkah. Temperatures are going to be in and around the low to middle thirties under a mainly clear sky overnight. Lows up towards Sussex is about 26. Trenton's coming in at around 28 you can go over towards Irvington. You'll see an overnight low right around 32 and then heading down towards Stafford Township. Also looking at around 32 degrees, our skies are clear and our temperatures are going to be seasonably chilly. There's no big storms on the board until the end of the weekend. And I do want to time out Sunday's forecast because it's important. It's not going to be a total washout. Saturday afternoon. We, well, Sunday, Saturday morning, we start off with some clouds and the clouds will continue to thicken temperatures warm up on that south westerly wind to the low and middle fifties, which is above average for this time of year on Sunday. That's when we're going to start to see the rain move in and the worst of the rain is after dinner time, the showers could start as early as let's say, two or three o'clock, but they're widely scattered kind of all over the place. It's really not until Sunday, late at night, going in a very early Monday morning that the weather really starts to go downhill. That system will pass and cooler temperatures will win out going into next week. More details on the forecast coming up. All right, Dave.

PM, checking back in now with storm watch teams, hoo SECA Hope cold. Today, we saw some snowflakes and now you're telling me wet weather is coming this weekend, I'm a little worried. No snow. I'm less worried. Well, it's still going to be an impactful system and something that we need to really prepare ourselves for over the next couple of days. So we saw the cold. Today, saw a few of those festive flakes, a nice couple of days ahead and this is what you can expect for Sunday evening into Monday, windswept rain. So the wind will be an issue and the rain starting Sunday evening and even lasting into Monday morning, a line of gusty thunderstorms that could start pushing through as early as 10:11 p.m. on Sunday. So we're still fine tuning the storm as we get through the next couple of days. We'll let you know what, what we can expect. Excuse me. So the gusts 40 to 50 MPH that can knock down tree land, tree branches even cause a concern for some scattered power outages and localized flash flooding, especially for the most flood prone air. So let's get into the future cast this evening will remain quiet. The clouds are with us. It will be clear tomorrow morning but still cold temperatures in the mid thirties, but not as cold as it's been over. The last couple of days. Tomorrow's highs will be in the mid to upper forties. So that season will feel we're seeing the sunshine again. Haven't seen that for the last couple of days. So it will be something that we can enjoy and guess what the sun does take us into our Saturday. A blend of sunny clouds with highs in the low to mid f Saturday. The pick of the week go outside and the conditions or just prepare for what's coming our way on Sunday because it is going to be nasty out there with the widespread rain and gusty winds moving into our area. So here's the timeline of the storm. The showers could be here as early as Sunday afternoon around 12:01 p.m. But the brunt of the system will start moving into our area closer to midnight and we're talking about heavy rain and gusty winds behind the front lies a cold blast. So winds will start picking up 40 to 50 MPH. And then that cold.

And of course, we'll have more news in just a few moments. But first, let's turn our attention to our storm watch forecast. Here's meteorologist Addison Green to break down everything you need to know for this weekend and, and to that, we do anticipate seeing a very nice start to the weekend. It's the second half the back end as we're trying to come on back home from our weekend getaways perhaps. And we're dealing with a very high chance of seeing showers come through at last into Monday. Thankfully though, not the entire days for both, these are going to be washed out, but we're going to be seeing this system swing on in by Sunday afternoon, the first half of your Sunday for the most part will be fine, breezy, mild, a touch of the muggy side with an increase of moisture coming up this way. But by Sunday afternoon, overnight into Monday, that's when we get batches arranged strong gusty winds. Those holiday lights that are nicely decked out across your household may be impacted, especially some of those inflatable holiday decorations where you maybe perhaps you want to bring them inside before they get blown away. So putting your future cast right here in motion Sunday morning, you can see we have probably the most of the cloudy skies across the Hudson Valley area. These yellow lines right here are Isobars lines of vehicle pressure, the more amount that we have in place and the closer you are to get shows us a stronger wind field coming on in and the direction of where it's coming from. And we can see those winds will start to increase out of a south westerly direction around lunchtime showers though still aren't here yet, but we're watching those Isobars getting closer together. So more breezy winds by Sunday afternoon with rain coming on down and this will continue being the case overnight, potentially some heavy rain coming on through. Thankfully though, this is for the most part wind, we're sleeping 330 or so right there in the morning, but some strong gusty winds may come down with that rain as that rain comes down from the atmosphere and pulls down that strong wind flow. Now, up past this cold front, approaching our area, we may be dealing with a brief change over places like Sullivan County, Olsa County, a little change over a little wintry mix of snow. I think dry air will come rushing on down first. So that change over will be brief. But nonetheless, it's still possible if you're out and about. We did have some snow showers earlier on today with a brief flow of air coming in off the Great Lakes that has, for the most part shut down. But we still have some cold air in place for tonight with a very light breeze. We'll see temperatures go down towards the low 30 gut in towards your four, five o'clock hour and then moving up nicely towards lunchtime. Around 42. We're getting back to where we should be this time of the year with high temperatures in the mid, maybe even the upper forties. If we're lucky, Saturday is the pick of the week. Mid f coming our way. Sunday, 60 degrees. You're like, wow, that looks great problem is that happens closer to midnight and heavy rain and gusty winds coming on and so it's not gonna be a pleasant 60. Then after that, temperatures tumble forties are coming our way for all of next week.

We've got some ugly stuff knocking on the door. Absolutely. So we've been dealing with the cold for the last couple of days, Joe and now we're looking to warm a little bit, but with that warmth, it comes some stormy conditions. Unfortunately, folks, so getting straight into what we are gonna be expecting, we are in storm watch because you know what we need to know is that Sunday is gonna be pretty nasty for us, Friday though. Not bad. It's gonna be warmer temperatures in the upper forties, Saturday still dry and then we're back to the fifties Sunday. However, it's gonna be near 60 degrees and we're looking for that storm system to move in and it's gonna be impacting our Monday morning as well. We'll get to those details in a few moments, but Hanukkah begins tonight this evening for us and we're looking at temperatures to be in the middle to lower thirties and overnight to around 30 degrees is where we are expecting our low to be as we roll into the overnight hours. So, otherwise, hopefully you have a happy Hanukkah, but we are looking for things to stay dry for us. A couple of flurries over towards the east end, but nevertheless, not looking for much issues as we get into the rest of our Thursday night, take a look at the next 12 hours in itself. Again, staying clear for the most part in our skies, temperatures will start off on our Friday morning into the middle thirties. So you're definitely gonna need that coat and just wanna bundle up. So it's gonna feel cold once we start, but it will improve as we get into our Friday afternoon, upper forties, as I mentioned, Saturday is gonna be pretty mild as well. Middle fifties around this time of year. We're into the middle forties, what our typical seasonal temperatures are so Saturday and Sunday in itself, it's going to be really nice for us in terms of surface temperatures, but then we're looking forward to stormy conditions heading into our Sunday. Otherwise, again, it's going to be rather quiet, but we are gonna be monitoring the storm system rolling in for a Sunday evening around dinner time. That's gonna carry into our Monday morning, which is why we have our storm watch for Sunday night into our Monday morning. And then the following week back to the seasonal temperatures.

There waiting outside the restaurant. It's going to be a cold morning tomorrow, but then things quickly turn around. Now by Sunday, we're going to be watching for rain and it's going to be a lot of rain, maybe 2 to 3 inches of rain here in western Connecticut, gusty winds 25 to 35 miles an hour sustained, but it's the winds of the wind gusts rather that could reach up to 50 miles an hour closer to the coast. That's going to be just a small window of opportunity. Sunday night into early Monday morning, that's enough to cause some damage and some of the coastal flooding and street flooding could also cause damage as well. So Sunday, not a good day to go out. If you are going out tonight tomorrow morning, make sure you bundle up and layer up. It's still cold. But then we're in the forties for tomorrow. Temperatures not as cold tomorrow night, partly cloudy sky. So at the bus stop, make sure you're nice and warm the afternoon though. Not that bad. And you know what, I think 45 is going to feel incredible. Here's the forecast in Norwalk, temperatures returning to the forties, Saturday, we have F Sunday. It's near 60 degrees before that cold air comes back for. These are in the forecast through next week and that's a look at your local weather.

be Well: Millions of couples struggle with infertility. What options are available?

BEWellIVFNewFIX

This month, the World Health Organization published a report that found one in six people across the globe experiences infertility. Infertility is defined as the inability to achieve pregnancy by both men and women. After 12 months of trying and going through fertility treatment can be expensive and a long difficult process. So here to talk with us about infertility and the treatments that are out there is Dr Bradley Triva, he's a reproductive end biologist and infertility specialist at Stony Brook Medicines Island Fertility. Thanks so much for being with us. Thank you. I appreciate it. So I do want to just start with really our understanding of infertility and how much it's changed over time. Definitely, the technology in our field has advanced significantly. But I think on a personal level for women and men and going through the infertility process, there is so more awareness, there are women coming into the office much younger than they ever were before because they know about it and they know about family members and there's awareness on social media and they want to get checked out and they want to make sure that they're ok before they start to try right, which is a different way of looking at it instead of going through, you know, 12 months or more and being unsuccessful to have the conversation before you start your journey. I mean, it's always nice when someone comes in and it's a preemptive where you can check and say is this working? Is this working? Ok. Now, go try but that isn't always the case where people will come in and they've been trying for a couple of years. And you want to say, ok, let's figure out why and let's start with the basics. OK. So start with the why. What are some of the common reasons why someone you know, would, would have some issues? So the first, the first important thing that we'll ask is are you getting a period every month? Are you ovulating? If you're not releasing an egg, you're not going to get pregnant. So that's, that's number one. How are your ovaries working? What is the age of your ovaries? Is your uterus intact? Are there fibroids or polyps or scar tissue? Are the fallopian tubes working? Are they open? How is the sperm? These are four things that are just basic need to be checked out and anybody who wants to get pregnant needs these to be working for them. And for some people, there are medicines that can help, there are medication that can help you ovulate. We use medication like Clomid which has been around since 1950. There's a medication called Leo or Femara. These are pill form you take in the beginning of your cycle and they can help you ovulate and release an egg. What if you release an egg every month? But you're still not getting pregnant. So then we'll offer patients the same medication and instead of making one egg on the left or the right each month, maybe you have one on each side or two on one side, one on the other, more eggs, more targets for the sperm to hit. Now, what, who's a good candidate for? Something like an I V F? So we do a lot of I V F. We do it every day but not everybody needs I V F. So there are steps before that like an I U I or insemination where on the day of ovulation, we're washing the sperm, we're getting rid of the non swimming sperm and we're putting it closer to the uterus, giving it a head start. If that's not working. We talk about in vitro in vitro fertilization or I is where we're taking an egg, we're taking sperm and we're putting them together in our embryology lab, making an embryo growing it and then placing it back into the uterus. So if you have blocked fallopian tubes, you're not going to get pregnant with time dinner course or even I U I, you need I V F. If there's a severe issue with the sperm, same thing we can take one single sperm and one egg and inject the sperm into the egg, creating an embryo with fertilization. So there's definitely ways to help patients get pregnant. And IVF is definitely one that we've made big changes and advances in for people who are going through this. This is emotional. This is a long process. Yes. And it can be really hard on, on, on couples who are, who are doing this or, or anyone going through it. I think that's the, that's it. That's the hardest part of the process. It can take time and there's a significant portion that is just unknown and that part makes it really difficult for anybody, especially a type a person who says, tell me what to do, right. I'm gonna go do it and then I'm gonna be successful and move on and you can do everything you can do I V F everything can be perfect and sometimes it doesn't happen. And I think, and I say to this to patients a lot, you need to know there is light at the end of the tunnel. You can't always see it and you may not have the clarity, but you need to have the courage to do it. Thank you so much for your time. I appreciate the conversation.
