Three pints should do the job. And maybe next year there'll be a Christmas miracle. Christmas tree industry is pretty well known for feast and famine in terms of supply and demand. So I think things will get better. If you don't feel like cutting your own, you can always buy a pre cut tree. Prices are up, but balsams will run you less than a fur at a big box store. And of course, you can always buy an artificial one and use it year after year happy holidays. Everyone. I'm Janice Lieberman and that's the real deal. I saw a video on Instagram the other day, Sebastian Maniscalco asking what are they charging for Christmas trees by you? It's everywhere, it's going up and you know, depending on what type of tree you want. If you want the larger tree, those Frasier 1st 10 ft and higher. Yeah, those are the difficult ones to get this year. But uh you know, hey, whatever you do, no matter what the tree decorate it with the family. Have fun doing it. Enjoy the holiday season. Mostly cloudy skies today. There will be the threat of a passing rain or snow shower this afternoon and that's more of a nuisance. Most of our day will be dry and it will be cold temperature around 41 degrees for that hyper local high. And here's the other issue that northerly wind. Yeah, that's gonna make, it feels like temperatures, well, generally in the twenties and thirties. So that's what you need to dress for going throughout the day. Plus with all the clouds around and a little bit of moisture, it has a chill to the air, some snow showers and flurry north and west. And every now and then this afternoon, there may be one or two quick little rain, snow showers or flurry or Sprinkle moving on over Long Island. Take a look at this at around +343 45 there's a cold air temperatures around 38 to 39 degrees and there's that little stray flurry, snow shower, Sprinkle rain shower coming our way. Much more of a nuisance. A festive flake or two coming on through and that threat is with us through about 8 p.m. Then overnight skies clear tomorrow morning, lows are in the twenties to around 30. It's cold Thursday morning and then during the day on Thursday can't rule out once again, a quick little snow shower or a rain shower into Thursday afternoon for the start of Hanukkah. As we go towards sundown on Thursday, it's going to be cold. Temperatures are going to be in the thirties and towards sunset, a slight chance of a quick rain or snow shower and then we're dry overnight, Thursday into Friday. And by Friday afternoon we finally warm up. Now over the weekend, this is going to impact some of your plans and also will impact some of those holiday decorations because there's a threat of heavy rain, Sunday, late afternoon, Sunday evening and early Monday morning. And as the cold front approaches Long Island strong winds, there's a potential of winds, 40 to 50 MPH coming our way late Sunday afternoon through Sunday evening. So we'll have to watch this very closely and the impacts on Long Island highs today and in the low forties, lots of clouds, it's cold chance of that passing rain or snow shower, twenties for tonight. And we do have a warm up after the cold starts of Hanukkah fifties. Friday, Saturday, stormy weather near 60 on Sunday. Oh.

Saying, wow. Can you believe it's been around 20 years? It's crazy. It's crazy. I remember when that movie came out. That's nuts. But hey, get in the spirit, right. Christmas is coming. Hanukkah is this week. Isn't that exciting too? So definitely a lot to celebrate in the next coming weeks and days. We have a couple of festive flurries to just kind of compliment that right? I call them rogue flurries kind of coming from wind up clouds. No accumulation expected here in New Jersey, but we are warming up toward the weekend into the fifties. We go Friday and Saturday, but come Sunday, we're, we'll be in the sixties, believe it not. But that comes with stormy weather, Sunday, stormy conditions. Although it's very early in the forecast stages, I want to be transparent with you and let you know that we're watching for some gusty conditions along with downpours and maybe a squall line with thunderstorms on Sunday afternoon and evening. The timing is uncertain. The specific location of these impacts are uncertain and it's something that we're going to work out with the next couple of days. But I think it's important to let you know now that something is coming so that you can plan for it rather than wait until we know every little detail 100%. So, let's talk about today's forecast. A couple of windswept flurries coming through, maybe a rogue Sprinkle or two down toward Monmouth Ocean, Middlesex counties today. That's this afternoon because the temperature is going to be warming up into the forties tonight. It clears out briefly 30 degrees by tomorrow morning, it's cold, but then the clouds come back tomorrow and we'll see some rogue flurries and sprinkles all along the Delaware River up and down the western half of the New Jersey. So just be aware of that for Thursday, temperatures will be in the low forties by the afternoon high, but that's just that moment about three in the afternoon and it then finally clears out into Friday. Friday is a beautiful day, 5051 degrees, uh, the northeast corner of Bergen County, Passaic counties as well as Hudson and Essex County. Definitely looking at temperatures near 45 to 46 degrees. Morristown. Same deal there. Not too bad as the mild weather settles in. We hold on to that mild weather into Saturday too. You can see it's fair thin clouds, high pressure, sunny and mild, but we're going to be watching for this front come Sunday, strong wind and thunderstorms with that front. It's definitely going to knock down temperatures for early next week but could be pretty nasty. On Sunday night.

Quite the operation they've got over there. Julio. Great. Look at what the post service service has to deal with. You know, what's the saying? Right? Neither rain nor sleet nor snow. That package are going to get it where it needs to go. We don't have any of that in the forecast, but for the mail carriers tomorrow and everybody else to bundle up, I guess. Yeah, the temperatures will be in the mid to upper 30 to start tomorrow and we are seeing some rain and maybe even some festive flakes in the near future. So that's something that we need prepare for as we get through the next couple of days. But 37 degrees mostly cloudy sky that puffer jacket will do you some good and some extra layers and you can grab the tins or the Uggs, some things, they just keep your feet warm because tomorrow's highs really struggle to get to the low forties. This is where we're going by tomorrow afternoon. 4 p.m. feeling like near 32 degrees across the boughs and it gets even colder, waking up on your morning. This is going to be the core of the cold we feel like temperatures will be in the mid twenties. So that's what you need to dress for Thursday morning. And even through the majority of the afternoon, we feel like temperatures will still be in the thirties. It looks like Friday. We have one more cold start to the day and then temperatures really begin to turn around. And we're seeing the fifties back by Friday and even into Saturday, which is going to be the pick of the week. Here's why temperatures will be in the mid fifties. It's gonna feel and look nice to be outside. And we're finally seeing a return of that sunshine that we haven't really been experiencing. So we're also turning the page to Sunday, which is our next day that we're tracking some wet weather. So here's what we know so far, still several days out, we're still fine tuning the timing of the system, but expect some widespread rain wind, some thunderstorms and this can start moving into our area Sunday evening into Monday.

Putting us all in the holiday season. That is a great event. Check it out if you can. You know, I learned something about your real Christmas trees this weekend too and I went out so they're all so different because one is stronger, like they have stronger branches, they're meant to hold your hardier ornaments. The other ones are more fragrant. So you have to really think about what do you want. There are a lot of variables just like the weather, just like the weather. There are a lot of invariable is when you go out and pick your Christmas trees, everybody. So, yeah, think long and hard about just not too, too long because you, your time is running out really as we go throughout the next couple of days, I want to just draw your attention to our most significant weather event that we're watching. And this could be for Sunday evening and Sunday night, this latest snapshot and don't take a verbatim just yet. This, the timing on this will change over the next few days. But around nine o'clock, Sunday, even some moderate to heavy rain, potentially temperatures well into the fifties and there can be some gusty winds with this. So I would start getting in the mindset of planning ahead for a wet second half of Sunday into Sunday night outside. Today. It's chilly and there are some passing snow flurries around, nothing too significant at all. But you can notice a few of those festive flakes as we go throughout the afternoon today and through about four or five o'clock. Otherwise just stress warmly daytime highs today, barely touching 40 degrees, mostly cloudy skies. Other than a few of those scattered flurries ahead of a colder night tonight with lows in the twenties into Thursday morning. So you might need the extra layer tomorrow morning. Tomorrow is a carbon copy of today. A few flurries near 40 warming up Friday and into the weekend. Saturday still the pick of the week before we get to that late rain and gusty conditions. Sunday evening and Sunday night before dry weather pushes in for next week.

And we don't want to get ahead of ourselves, but it sounds like this weekend, at least Saturday would be a great day to do that. Yeah, definitely better than Sunday. Sunday. We got a lot of rain on Tampa. I'm liking Saturday out and, and take care of those errands. If you want to pick up that tree, it's gonna do. We're gonna be looking at numbers a lot better than what we're dealing with for today. 41 is the forecast at high. You get a lot of today. We're not gonna get out of the thirties very much feeling like winter, which is 15 more days away. We bring it in December 21st this year we work our way into the mid part of this month. And yeah, I know we're, we're, we're, we're gonna start to cruise these next couple of weeks, wrapping up 2023. It's just gonna go lightning speed as you push forward through the rest of this morning. Again, we're working with some cloud cover, chance for a few flakes late morning and then as we head into this afternoon, uh, still won't rule out a chance for flakes. If we're really watching back out across the lower Hudson Valley, some of them could seep into our neck of the woods, but still, we're not worried about any accumulation or anything like that. Just putting it out there. Keep that in mind as you are out about heading into tonight, we're gonna really look at the clear skies and we're gonna see colder numbers into your tomorrow. It, same set up to what we had last week. Right Wednesday night into your Thursday, we dealt with the coldest here. Thursday is gonna be the coldest day on tap. Numbers not making it out of the thirties, chance for a few more flakes. But again, nothing to worry about too, too much as we head into your Friday. Friday morning is gonna be a chilly start, but we bounce back as we head into your Friday afternoon again. Feel like numbers for Thursday tomorrow morning. We'll be in the teens for areas up north. We're talking twenties for areas south of 84. And then as we head into your tomorrow afternoon, we really aren't gonna feel anything better out of the twenties. So we definitely want to bundle up another shot of some cold air will work with us for your tomorrow. Make sure you got your winter gear prepared Saturday. Again, it's gonna be the pick of the week as we work our way into the first half of the week and we're staying dry. Maybe some sunshine. One thing's for sure, moderate temperatures well into the fifties. So it isn't gonna feel old, too bad. First half of your Sunday looks good. Then we're watching a storm really bringing in some heavy rain which will impact your Sunday afternoon into your Sunday evening. Where for right now, that's when we're looking forward to be its worst along with some strong gusty damaging winds, potentially Sunday night into your Monday as well. Other than that, we're still gonna hold on to mild weather into the first part of your week before we start to trend cooler heading into the tail end of next Becky John.
