We do have warmer temperatures today. Yes, that's right. Mild temperatures, not as active winds thankfully. And we'll notice the winds out of the southwest will add on to that mild condition and high temperature for today reaching 50 degrees. Some of us, even 52 New York, you'll notice also our weather icons plenty of sunshine this afternoon. We'll notice some passing clouds, but that's it as far as you know, what can linger across our skies tomorrow though. You'll notice those rain showers into the afternoon in New Brunswick, 51 degrees. You'll expect the same across Edison and Newark 52 as well. In some locations though. We'll notice the rain arriving a little bit on the earlier side. So around 12 and to two, but that's for northern portions of the state across the state though. So central northern as well as southern portions, especially across the shore four and into seven o'clock into the afternoon, evening time frame could be expected to see that wet weather. How much, not much we're noticing trace to upwards, you know, 1/10 to 10th of an inch. So that's not significant rainfall. We're not noticing too much of major impacts with that today. It's sunny and chilly but feeling seasonable all in all we're supposed to be right where we're going to 50 degrees as a high temperature, 52 for some spots as well. Tomorrow we wake up into the thirties, we notice some clouds filtering in right around nine o'clock into lunch time. That's when we'll notice a lot of the system just, you know, breaking apart into two pieces first across Sussex and Warren County as well, North Bergen Counties as well. Then four o'clock, it's central southern portions and northern corridor, not as substantial as in the first round of rain, but nicely exiting right around seven and eight o'clock, calm conditions heading into the overnight. We start off on the dry side, too, more sunshine for Saturday, but it doesn't last for too long. The clouds will be back into play as well as those late showers arriving filtering in across for Sunday and Sunday. Then it becomes a Monday thing as well. So we're heading into the fifties, feeling so much better, even our overnight lows staying stuck into the forties.

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.

Addison Green is now back with a look at that forecast and Addison, it looks like there may be a bit of a warm up this weekend. But what about those rain chances? Thankfully, Nikita, the warm up is coming along in with just a little bit of some shower activity. We're not talking about the weekend being a wash up, but Sunday between the two weekend days will have you perhaps being more inside than outside because we do anticipate seeing on and off showers, maybe some isolated sunny breaks if we're lucky. But the day to be out and about on Saturday, mostly cloudy, relatively mild for this time of the year. High temperatures getting up into the low to mid fifties, but we can't skip past Friday and we do have ourselves a relatively mild day coming away, upper forties to around 50 degrees coming through. The only problem is we're gonna be seeing a system come through, pushing away that sunshine giving us those rain chances as we start to make our way through the afternoon hours. But at least high pressure for the day today has displaced the cold air, mild air has moved up across the northeast. But here comes Friday showers as the system comes out of the southern plains and heads over this way. So let's put it all together for you going into. It's Friday morning. 830 we got 39 in pine bush, 37 Brewster, 40 degrees out there in New City towards the two o'clock hour, cloudy cover for everyone scattered showers moving along as well. Just light to maybe isolated batches of moderate rain coming on down. That will be the case towards the evening commute, 56 o'clock or so across the entire Hudson Valley area. But notice towards 8 to 9 o'clock showers are starting to wrap on up as that first system leaves us. Then here comes system number two with fast forward impasse Saturday into Sunday where by Sunday morning in through Sunday afternoon, we're seeing widespread scattered showers coming on in. Don't see a lot of that dark green or yellow or orange coming through. So we're not anticipating downpours and when all of a sudden done from those two systems, maybe about half an inch or so of rain coming on down. So certainly nothing to cancel any plans over. Just prepare to have that umbrella by your side past Sunday into Monday, we're drying out, but unfortunately cooling down. Once again, we see temperatures going down towards the low forties and upper thirties as we head into the first night of Hanukkah on Thursday.

And we've got some great news in the forecast for you. If you're a fan of sunshine and mild weather, we're back into the upper forties and low fifties for the next couple of days. But today is the last day with ample sunshine. We're watching showers for your Friday evening commute. It's not an all day wash, but certainly in the evening we'll have light showers and then the weekend, it just kind of gloomy with a chance for some rain returning Saturday evening and then again Sunday, but we're gonna time it out in a sec first. Let's look at the rest of today. We're around 50 across the island. So the thirties, yeah, a big improvement compared to yesterday. Tonight, we do drop into the thirties. You'll need the winter jacket for Friday morning plans. We're expecting plenty of sun for the start of the day, but clouds start to push in during the afternoon on Friday. And that's the last you see of wide red sunshine until next week looks good though, as far as temperatures you're in the fifties. So the future cast on Friday, you see, not a lot of cloud cover in the morning. It looks good for recess for the kids. It looks good for the bus ride home too. Three o'clock is still mainly dry. There could be a few spots at sea sprinkles in Nassau County at three, but it's not really likely until the evening commute for five o'clock. We've got some showers rolling through the island with temperatures near 50 degrees. Ok. Temperature is good but the rain not so much. If you have late plans on Friday, the rain will clear out for you. And Saturday looks mainly dry. We're not bad on Saturday, but Sunday, I can't promise that it's dry all day. We do have some stray showers in the afternoon and evening there cooler for next week. Feeling like December, which is just about right.

Check of our forecast. Michelle Powers, Michelle, what a difference a day makes and some sun. I know incredible temperatures are right where they should be. So this is what the end of November should feel like for us, that cold snap is now done. Temperatures are back. We're looking at some forties now as we jump into the evening hours and it's nice and dry. It's really nice when it's sunny too during the evening temperature change from yesterday, 12 degrees warmer in Bridgeport, it's 11 degrees warmer in you can. So basically that just tells you the entire story. Now, we have to talk about rain. That's the next step in our forecast process going into the weekend here right now, things are quiet and calm and dry. But this storm system over parts of the southern plains and deep south heads our way by tomorrow. So there is rain out ahead of it and it will be warm enough that this does fall as rain. It's quick, it's in, it's out the roads are going to be wet tomorrow evening. And unfortunately, that's not the end of the story. We have dry weather for now, but going into the weekend and coming out of the weekend there is some rain, so I'll be back with that full forecast. Be sure to stay with us Britney back to you.
