A little warmer though. We had that, we had that trying to look at the bright side. Yeah. And then all of a sudden you started to see, you know, just some on again, off again, showery weather beginning to take over. Now that rain has become a little bit more consistent in the forecast. We have seen rainfall rates that are as little as just over 1/10 of an inch of rain in the Carteret area. You get back out towards Raritan road from North Edison, going up towards Clark and those rainfall rates range anywhere from a quarter of an inch to 3/10 of an inch of rain. That's a lot of, that's an intense burst of wet weather. Now, it's not going to produce instantaneous flooding. However, with all of the fall debris that is in the streets, that's clogging the sores and the drains. This type of wet weather is going to get pushed out. It's, you know, all the puddles are going to get pushed further out into the streets. So we're probably going to be looking for some puddles. We'll have to navigate around as we go through the evening hours tomorrow. Is looking pretty good. We've got a temperature in the mid fifties, similar temperature on Sunday, but we've got more rain showers and it looks like the rain is going to be kind of like what we're dealing with right now and the timing looks pretty similar as well. The rain holds off until later in the afternoon, going into Sunday night right now, mostly cloudy skies, some rain showers. Temperatures are in the mid forties dropping down into the upper thirties and lower forties. We will be dealing with some on again off again, rain showers going into the overnight but most of the rain, most of at least the consistency of the rain begins to taper as we get past midnight, we get towards Saturday morning. It's mostly cloudy. Temperatures are going to be in the upper thirties and lower forties. We will roll in a Saturday afternoon, daytime, highs climbing into the upper fifties to near 60 degrees in some spots. Only to watch another system moving in on Sunday. We might be dealing with some drips and drizzles on Monday, partly sunny skies on Tuesday. Wednesday looks interesting. We could be dealing with a system capable of producing rain show and then dragging in enough cold air at some point where that rain might actually mix with a few wet snow flakes. It gets breezy going into Thursday. Temperatures begin to drop again looking for numbers morning lows to be in the mid to upper twenties. And afternoon highs by the middle of next week are only going to be in the lower forties. I'll have more details on that New Jersey forecast coming up in just a little bit Eric. All right, Dave. Thank you.

What's going on inside there, who need to know? All right, but what's going on in the weather department? We have rain. I mean, there, office parties tonight, right? So you will want the umbrellas heading out and about for evening plans. Best chance is going to be during the evening commute between three and eight. You can see pretty much how a lot of us start to see the rain after three or four. Best chance is going to be around six or seven. So you'll have to tap those windshield wipers a little bit, but it quickly ramps off by eight or nine o'clock. We're more or less dry and the rest of the evening looks fine. It just got to have the umbrellas for the early part of the evening, but it's not the only time we're going to see rain this weekend. A little bit of a break expected tomorrow and honestly go outside. Enjoy 60 degrees because we might not see 60 degrees any more in 2023. That's right because of course, things are going to be cooling on down. Enjoy tomorrow because it'll start to rain again on Sunday. It'll also be quite a bit cooler, only lower fifties. So let's take a look at that future cast for Sunday starts off dry. So heading over to let's say church in the morning, you're fine. But by about 11 a.m. we will see a couple of showers moving on in. So by brunch time, you will want to move those brunch and lunch plans inside, it'll become a little bit of a heavier rain into the afternoon. Notice some of the oranges right there over park slope as well as Gowanus down towards Bath Beach. We are going to see quite a bit of rain for the afternoon hours. It's a quick hit though by seven or eight to on Sunday evening, we're pretty much clearing out of the rain and then into Monday morning, maybe a lingering shower is expected. So let's take a look at that 10 day forecast. What you're going to see is again a little bit of a temperature roller coaster up to 60 tomorrow. Then we have that yellow highlight. That means rain is looking likely and it could be a little bit more significant. A little bit left over Monday. Then it gets a lot colder. Take a look by middle of next week. We're looking at middle twenties.

All right, let's talk about that weather again. Meteorologist Addison Green here to give us a look at what the weekend has in store for us. It's raining. Is it going to be a wash out this weekend? Addison? I think Sunday, Nikita between the two weekend days looking to be more on the washout side of things. But hey, at least we have Saturday to look forward to where it's going to be relatively a mild one and dry one as well. But then we have, we're going towards Sunday. It does turn dreary, but moving on in overnight, it's going to be those showers moving from us, but the fog will linger around. So if you're going to be out and about keep your eyes on the roads up ahead of you. And then for next week while it's mild now, it's going to turn a little bit colder, kind of like how it was earlier on this week. Now, we're watching air blood pressure head up towards the northeast. It is definitely sending a lot of moisture up this way. Thankfully, we have just rain showers falling down, cold air is being kept behind the stationary front up across portions of Canada and the northern plains. So we're not going to be talking about snow showers coming on down. Although a few spots in the Catskills may see an ice pellet mixed on in with a flake, but we're talking like 3 4000 ft in elevation. So for the most part, most of us are fine, we do have heavier rain moving on in towards Rockland County, Westchester County as well. The little cluster of yellow to orange right there and it should be heading in towards Fairfield County within the next hour or two in the Scarsdale area, showers will wrap on up between seven and 10 o'clock tonight. You can see temperatures hanging out in the mid forties and you can go on in over with very light to calm winds. That's where we're going to be seeing that moisture lingering around. Couple that with the light winds dealing with some patchy fog coming around. But first things first, the rain adding on up when this day is done, not adding up to a ton, maybe 1/10 2 10th of an inch add on up what we're going to be seeing. Potentially on Sunday, we may put down an additional inch plus in those rain gauges and this is pretty much double if not triple than what we showed you yesterday at the same time frame. So new model data that we may be seeing more moisture come through. Hence more shower activity for our Sunday. Now, eight o'clock tonight, we have the showers wrapping up in Middletown. It's still raining and pretty much at a brisk pace in Brewster of 43 degrees out towards tomorrow. We start off with mostly cloudy skies. Patchy fog will be around should burn off towards the afternoon hours. Temperatures low to mid FF coming on and not bad for December 2nd overnight from Saturday to Sunday. Here comes light rain heading on through. We'll watch more scattered showers come on in towards the midday and then you can certainly see there's a lot more yellow and orange towards the afternoon hours as buckets of rain could be coming along as a second system moves in towards the northeast. It'll be leaving us before Monday. Morning's commute is underway but dry breezy winds will come on down. Colder temperatures from Monday to Tuesday and we're gonna be seeing our temperatures struggling to get out of the thirties for Wednesday. We do slowly bounce back as we head into next weekend. Coming up. Nikita.

That address on your screen right now. All right, we're bringing hope back now for another check of that hyper local forecast. I've heard there's a warm up in our future hopes will be climbing into the mid to upper fifties this weekend. So that's something that we can look forward to. So we are also watching the some wet weather that's moving into our area right now. Here is the current timeline. So we're seeing some steady rain right now through at least 8 p.m. So watch for some puddles roads on area roadways and from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. just expect the roads to still remain wet, but the rain will be coming to an end. Can't rule out some drizzle some mist through at least 10 after 10 pm, cloudy and chilly with areas of fog developing into tomorrow morning. So taking a look at your weekend forecast, it looks like Saturday is going to be your best bet to really go out there and enjoy the conditions highs near 58. This will probably be the last time that we see temperatures this mild for the rest of the year, limited sunshine. So we're not going to see that bright beautiful sky but still an overall really decent day, Sunday looking more so like a washout, temperatures will be in a low to mid fifties and steady rain. Expect rounds of showers throughout the day and we will be catching brief breaks at times. So here's the timeline. So again, the rain will be moving out of here this evening. Tomorrow morning, we'll be waking up to some fog, reducing visibility. So, if you're one of those early risers, give yourself a few extra minutes and us, your low beam headlights, the clouds will take over by the afternoon and temperatures will be climbing once again to the mid to upper fifties. But we're not seeing the sunshine muted sunshine all day long with some showers to follow Saturday night into early Sunday morning. We're seeing some of that rain and even some moderate to heavy rainfall as we get into the day on our Sunday. Now, in terms of the rest of the weekend, even into early next week, temperatures will be tumbling back into the forties. All right.

Our community camera in Norwalk today, a little bit overcast there but it seems as though the temperatures are decent storm. March team, meteorologist Jonathan Cuban is standing by with a look at the weekend. Hey there. Hey, what's going on? Mark? Now, listen, those temperatures are gonna continue to hang around the fifties sitting nice and mild heading into the weekend. Saturday is gonna be the better of the two Saturday better than Sunday because we're staying dry Sunday, we have some rain to watch for after we work through the rain through this afternoon. Here's look at your five o'clock hour, looking at your future chaotic and a little bit of some light shower activity starts to move in. So the commute along I 95 as well as the mirror could be a little bit tricky. And again, we're seeing those showers stick around till about 678 o'clock. And then we'll start to see things move out, dry out and better conditions as we head into the late night. Now, we could see a little bit of some patchy fog on the wake up for your Saturday morning. But again, we're dry, temperatures are gonna be pretty decent into the afternoon as well with numbers in the mid ff, but we're gonna work with more cloud and sun for the first half of the weekend. And then it really only gonna continue to grow gloomier and gray as you look ahead into your Sunday. So clouds all day, Sunday, Saturday night looks good clouds all day, Sunday. And we're gonna see that first round of some wet weather just a little bit after the midnight hour. And then you'll catch a little bit of a break for the early parts of your morning. 89, 10 o'clock, early parts of your afternoon there, we have that steady, that heavier rain moving in. So maybe driving back home, got a flight to catch back here across the tri-state. Could be a little bit of a delay. A little bit of a doozy that steady to heavy rain really continues. Heading into your Sunday evening and Sunday night, things clear out as we head into your Monday and as far as rainfall totals again, 1/10 to maybe a quarter of an inch for this first round for Friday. And then we're looking at a little bit more about an inch to add on to that after Sunday's event. Again. We're looking pretty good for the first half of next week, temperature wise. Then we're back to some chillier weather to round out the end of next week.

The Real Deal: How to be smart when using credit to buy holiday gifts

All right. Have you started your holiday gift shopping? The bills will add up after the gifts are unwrapped as our Js Lieberman tells us in the real deal, be careful what you buy on credit because it does all add up later. It's easy to swipe and buy. But credit card interest rates are higher than they've ever been. Some retail credit cards up to 29% interest. So before you run up a huge debt, be very careful, the gifts and the tree are festive but the bills to pay for it all is not, prices are up on goods and services and all that can add up quickly. It's a really fast way to get into debt and spend. Take a look at what your expenses are, what your income is going to be and determine how much per person or overall on the holiday season you're going to be spending. Leslie Tane recommends making a list and sticking to it and consider all the other expenses that come with the holidays because it's not just about gifts, it's also about holiday, food having family over. In addition, it could be increases in electric bills just from adding holiday decorations to your house. Take a good look at your credit card interest rate. It may be a good time to apply for a new lower one if you prefer cash back, that might be the better card. Some cards may offer you 0% of buy. Now, pay later options, especially certain store cards. You do want to understand how each one of those cards fits into. Not only your budget but your holiday spending before you use them. No credit cards and no, no, no more of that. That brought me a lot of trouble in the past. Don't be swayed to sign up for a retail credit card at the register just to save a few bucks. Their interest rates are usually much higher than a bank credit card and this would be a good time to check your credit score as well. I'm Janice Lieberman and that's the real deal.
