NJFORECAST

Is storm watch sea meteorologist Mike Rizzo, with the weather, weather conditions today are going to be beautiful for the first night of Hanukkah. You're going to love this weather, everyone. The conditions are going to be cool and crisp, typical for this time of year. And we have just a few clouds parting ways with our sky to make for a beautiful evening. As the sun sets tonight, temperatures will be near 37 degrees and we continue to cool off into the overnight. So enjoy have a Latke for me. It's going to be an amazing experience for the next couple of nights as well except for Sunday. Now, Sunday, here's what we know, don't it will rain Sunday for sure. It's likely going to be at night. But what we don't know is what time I think it's going to be after sunset on Sunday, but I'm just not 100% certain exactly what time yet. We do know downpours are coming through and there will be some damaging gusts associated with this thunderstorm squall that slides right across the state of New Jersey. So for today, we have a couple of flurries and sprinkles across the Delaware River, but that's essentially it for this morning. We will end up with dry weather for tomorrow morning at 31 degrees. We get back into the fifties tomorrow in Ocean County, around 50 to 51 everyone else around 48 to 49 degrees under a mostly sunny sky that gives us a beautiful day. So Friday is a thumbs up. It is a fantastic day and it stays really nice into Saturday as well. Saturday is even warmer in Ocean County, we've got around 53 to 59 degrees. Even Monmouth County at 55 Bergen Passaic County. Hudson County is coming in near 57 degrees and Morris County and Morristown around 55 and Flemington in 100 County at 51 it's just a beautiful day. But of course, we are going to keep an out for Sunday because Sunday's weather front is going to be a timing issue, right. We don't know exactly what time I think it's coming in the evening. So that does bring us downpours and strong gusts up to 30 to 50 MPH. The timing is important because you need to know when you need to deflate Rudolph or Santa, you know, the decorations outside. We don't want Santa Rudolph to truly fly away. Go to the next house if you know what I mean. But either way, you know, let's just prepare for Sunday night's stormy weather because next week it does look really nice. It's just a hurdle of Sunday that we need to get through.

Now, the question I have about the mayor is that the weather down in DC, a warmer than the weather here because it's got to be at least a little bit better. It is a little bit warmer in DC. But you know, we are dealing with that really cold pocket of air that is taking us just for one more day. But we are going to turn our eyes for the weekend an early look for what are some potential impacts for this storm. So some thunderstorms in December, that's what is possible for Sunday evening into Monday, steady rain isolated flooding high winds of 40 MPH or even stronger that can knock down some decorations even cause some scattered power outages and then temperatures start to crash. So we're forecasting a high of 61 on Sunday by Monday night. It's going to be in the 30. So that's something that we need to monitor in terms of tomorrow. Another very cold start, temperatures will be near 29 feeling much colder than that high. Tomorrow will be in the low forties, feeling like the mid thirties throughout the day. A few flurries possible by the early afternoon drying out and clouds clearing out by Friday. Seeing more of that sunshine seasonable fill with highs in the upper forties. Saturday will actually be the pick of the week. We're going to see that beautiful sunshine highs in the mid fifties and then we're watching for some stormy weather on Sunday.

Can send in your wishes until December 21st. I mean, Santa going high tech is very cool. He's got a lot of elves helping him get. Let's just shout out and Gen Zs who are like Santa, we're gonna, we're gonna Instagram account. Meanwhile, I've never been more like eager to get to the mailbox when I get home. I'm like, yes his card, the holiday cards can to brighten up your mood on a bad weather day. We had some bad weather days. I don't get them from the mailbox on that day. Well, someone's going to have to for you and then your mood will be brightened, right? As uh as uh we take a look at our storm watch featurecast for Sunday. So today and through Saturday overall, no major weather impacts, but we just want to make sure you are planning ahead for and ready for what is likely to come on Sunday, Sunday morning. It looks dry right now, but there will be an increasing chance for periods of rain showers to develop a Sunday afternoon. Now, this is not really what we're concerned about. The concern comes in Sunday evening and Sunday night as the intensity of the rain ramps up after eight or nine o'clock, Sunday night, it'll be warm. Temperatures will be in the upper fifties to near 60 at the same time the wind is picking up too, but expect a good soaking rain Sunday evening up and through about say four o'clock or so on Monday. Now, a of times, computer models can't handle the wind gusts, well, several days out from a storm like this. So I don't expect widespread 50 mile per hour gusts. But I do expect those winds to ramp up in the 30 to 40 mile per hour range of times. And that can lead to some scattered power outages. Sunday night into early on Monday. In addition to blowing around those holiday decorations that you might have up as far as today goes, go with the heavy cold all day. It's a very similar day to yesterday. A couple of flurries around the light pass snow shower, otherwise mostly cloudy and dry with highs in the upper thirties today. So mood canst stay overall today is fine. Just watch out for a little brief light snow shower throughout the day. Highs in the upper thirties overnight tonight, back down to around 30 or so for those late night temperatures into tomorrow morning. Nice and more seasonable tomorrow pick of the week. Saturday 54 a storm comes in Sunday evening into very early Monday morning. The rest of next week looks dry with highs in the forties.

All right back in the weather center now with rich, we are feeling these low temperatures, cold temperatures out here this morning. Thanks to that wind, teens and twenties and rich. That's what you dress for. If you're going to be outside for a prolonged period of time, you do have the cold weather conditions around the island that wind is with us today, temperatures are below average right through the afternoon hours. And for the start of Hanukkah, we're going to be looking at towards sunset at 425 the clouds going to be with us. There is a slight chance of a rain or snow shower into our afternoon similar to what we had yesterday. A little bit of a nuisance moisture coming on through the big story today. The clouds and the cold weather conditions, temperatures are below average. With those wind chills, teens and twenties throughout our day. Notice the clouds flurry snow showers north and west. They're moving southward. And throughout the day, there will be a slight chance of a passing rain or snow shower, bundle up through throughout the day. Keep your feet warm yourself warm, the gloves, the hat, the scarf with a hyperlocal high only around 41 degrees.

CTFORECAST

Joining us. Now we decided it's a purple day. We match match. It's gonna be a good day. Yeah, it's also the start of Hanukkah and we've got, you were saying earlier, the coldest temperatures we've seen this week. Yeah, just like last week, Wednesday into Thursday, it was a very cold morning. We're dealing with that same cold for us today. Now, just keep that in mind as you make your way out the door, you're gonna want to bundle up, you're gonna need that layer, that extra layer, that sweatshirt, the hat, the gloves. Because while we're gonna try to get into the upper some spots may try to see 40 we're gonna feel like the thirties throughout the day. That wind chill is still gonna stay locked in and we're not getting out of this pattern until maybe the later party or tomorrow. So again, get into this routine tomorrow morning, you're looking at another cold start, maybe not quite as cold, but for tonight, temperatures dropping off down into the twenties, for areas up north, we'll try to hold on to thirties for areas along the shoreline. A lot of cloud cover for today. We're not seeing a lot of sunshine to help warm things up. So that's part of why we're going to continue to work with this chilly weather. And again, we're sitting anywhere from 10, almost 15 degrees cooler than where we should be for this time of year. Now, we're not going to rule out a few flakes or two like we saw yesterday for a lot of us here across Western Connecticut. But as we push forward into your tomorrow, better chance at some sunshine for the start of the day, numbers are going to be in the lower to mid thirties. We'll climb into the lower forties. It's really going to be your afternoon. You'll start to feel a little bit more relief, not quite as blustery as what we're going to deal with for you today. But look ahead to your Saturday, Saturday afternoon. Those numbers are in the mid f. It's going to be a nice day, mixture of sun and clouds, enjoy it because unfortunately, we do have again, a very strong wind driven system pushing in and we also have some colder air behind it. So once we work away into our Sunday where we're watching for some steady to heavy rain, we also have strong gusty damaging winds, potentially, maybe want to, you know, tie down those Christmas decorations or bring them in. That's how strong some of these winds are expected to get here across the region. So we're going to keep our eye on your Sunday into your Monday and we're really going to watch for some heavy rain and some potentially damaging.

Live Life Better: Did you know boating could be good for you?

Well, boating could be a great way to spend a summer day or bond with your family and friends. But did you know it can also be good for you? Yeah, Shannon has more. Boating is so relaxing and so much fun, but nowadays, it's not just about having fun in the sun. It's about your mental health and how boating can help. So here with more details on that is Maggie with discover boating dot com. Thanks for joining us, Maggie. Thanks for having me. So this is beautiful. We're out here on the water in Huntington, New York. Talk to me about the benefits that voting can have for someone. So there's actually a scientific connection between your mental state and the water. So just the sight and sound of water puts your mind at ease. It allows your brain to reset it, recharges and you're away from all the distractions on land. So it's really good for a variety of reasons, but it promotes mental wellness. So, is there something someone should do when they come out here or just being around it? Do they have to get on the boat? Do they have to touch water? Or what being on a boat is actually one of the best ways to access that restful state of mind. So you can, you don't have to be on the water, but being on the water on a boat, you're able to disconnect from all the technology and noise and craziness on land and just be out on the water where you can kind of reset and recharge and enjoy the peaceful benefits. Talk to us real quick about why someone should try this for their mental health. Well, there, there's a concept called Blue Mind. We've worked with a marine biologist in the past who has, there's research, there's actual research that shows that your mind and your body benefit from being on the water. So being able to get out on the water, whether it's a weekend or whether it's several times a week, it helps your mind reset, recharge and it, it promotes overall health and wellness. Well, I'm enjoying this is helping my health and wellness. So, thank you so much Maggie Discover boating dot com. I definitely agree with Maggie there. So the next time you're feeling a little stressed, just head to the nearest body of water and a boat ride could just be the thing to help calm you down. I know I love jumping on my kayak. All right.
