All right. There are less than 21 days until Christmas and a week to the first day of winter. I don't like, I don't like talking about that. I just go, don't worry, Kevin, we're gonna go ahead and make sure that we're gonna have any cold air coming our way as we move on in towards those first few days of winter coming on up because you can see that temperature trend for the month of December shows us trending on the warmer than average side. In which case, the average high throughout the month is around 39 to 47 degrees. So we'll be seeing sixties and seventies. No, but we'll be trending a little bit around 47. Are you a little bit warmer? Yeah, it's certainly possible. Especially heading up in tours this weekend. I'll show you those numbers in just a moment first. These numbers right here as we're continuing the countdown for the holiday season. We do have winter officially arriving December 21st in the evening hours, 17 days from now. Christmas arrives, of course, December 25th, 21 days from now. So you still have time to go ahead and continue some holiday shopping and New Year's Eve, of course, getting ready to ring in 2024 27 days from now. Now looking out and about, it's a quiet night out there past the Cuomo Bridge. We are watching those skies getting clearer as time goes on, temperatures cooling down to the upper thirties and then we'll watch more cloud cover head our way going in through the middle of the day, but no showers are coming out of those clouds. In fact, we'll continue to enjoy a dry stretch of weather. We certainly do need to have that kind of raw wet day on Sunday. Well, look at this. Our next chance of rain is coming up this coming Sunday where we're gonna be watching a large system moving towards the northeast, but Saturday is gonna be beautiful. It's my pick of the week. Probably cloudy guys, 53 degrees for a high running nearly 10 degrees above the average high of 44. So for your future cast, we go tomorrow afternoon, we have temperatures in the thirties and forties feeling a little bit cooler. And then by Wednesday morning, we see those temperatures in the twenties and thirties having a touch of a chill in the air. So each and every morning going forward, it's gonna feel a little bit colder and colder. Getting in towards Friday to Saturday. Here comes that system heading our way. A southerly breeze will help to boost those temperatures on Friday and Saturday. Then here comes the rain, Sunday morning, just rain coming on down, breezy winds. Then the system is out of here by Sunday night. So we should go in towards our Monday coming out of next week with drier, yet cooler air coming on down. So guys overall a very nice stretch of 10 days with one dreary day in sight.
