With meteorologist Michelle Powers. Rain tonight, Michelle. Yes. Today or tonight rather is a damp evening. Roads are wet already. Just watch out for the leaves because those are going to be very slippery. Now, this rain is in and it's out, the steadier rain will be arriving shortly. So just keep that in mind if you have plans tonight, make sure you are ready for that rain. Grab the umbrellas as you head out the door. Please be careful driving around. It's not going to be flooding rain but still roads are definitely going to be wet and going forward. There's going to be more rain over the weekend. This system passes through pretty quickly, dry weather for tomorrow and then it begins to come back on Sunday. So outside now in Norwalk, we're dealing with clouds and damp conditions, but you know what, 46 degrees isn't that bad and it feels like 46 because the winds are light. Now compared to 24 hours ago, it's about the same feeling, but this time around we have the rain. So showers are going to be on and off through the next few hours. This will clear up before midnight, but it's not completely dry at that time. With all of the moisture around, fog is likely to develop and there could be a couple areas of mist or drizzle for a time. Overnight temperatures barely cooling though. So tomorrow it's a milder start to the day and an even warmer finish stick around. I'll have much more on Saturday's forecast and we'll talk about how much rain you can expect on Sunday. And if you should cancel those plans, Tina back to you. Thank you.

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.

The Real Deal: How to cook up Thanksgiving sides for less 

1117CTREALDEAL7A

Our friends over at investopedia broke down some of the prices that you'll be paying in the grocery store. This Thanksgiving data shows that prices are actually down this year for an £8 ham. You'll be paying about $24.35 for a £16 turkey, $18.85 cents for £3 of potatoes. About three bucks and for almost a pound of cranberries just under $2 prices are down about 4%. So we went over to our friends at the pantry and chef Dan gave us a few ideas of things that we can cook on a dime for the holiday. A butternut squash soup. Uh You can use any squash. You can even use sweet potato. It's super easy. Four ingredients, nothing hard. Just a little bit of oil, some shallots. J I'm gonna tell you four ingredients, I mean four ingredients, some butternut squash and this was quick. Just sauteing it up a little bit. Just getting uh just getting little flavors. Going touch of cinnamon and then some water. Once the squash is soft, pure it, it's beautifully silky, delicious butternut squash soup. And then what I did was I took a little bit of uh this to pump the seeds that were inside. Just throw a little bit of seeds outside as a nice garnish. Next, we're gonna make cranberry sauce. Now you can buy cranberry canned cranberry sauce super cheap. But a lot of high fructose corn syrup in there. And I'm, I'm not really trying to, I'm not trying to take all that in. Especially on the holidays. I wanna save all that for dessert. Cranberries, orange zest sugar as much sugar as you desire. I put about a half a cup to one bag of cranberries and one orange. It's going in a pan, orange juice, a little bit of water. You're gonna just simmer it a few minutes. Really get those berries popping, let the sugar melt into that liquid. Throw it in, blend it up after it's blended. We have a super rich delicious cranberry sauce with some sugar. Got no little bit of acid and orange cuts that, that tartness of the cranberry. Super easy and delicious. And chef Dan has a few tips to help you save money on your Thanksgiving dinner. Don't be afraid to jump off some stovetop stuffing. It's cheap. It's easy. You can doctor it up however you want add some apples and cranberries chicken stock. A lot of people prefer chicken and turkey this time of year. It's actually cheaper to get a whole chicken. Also talking about people coming over for the holidays. Don't be afraid to ask people to help you out. You know, potlucks beautiful things to keep an idea. I'm Alexa Farrell and that's the real deal.
