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.

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.

The Real Deal: Looking to move? Rental market prices are coming down

Mortgage rates remain high, leading to more people choosing to rent. So our consumer reporter Janice Lieberman has the real deal on how those rental prices are looking. If you're looking to move rentals, maybe the way to go, prices were over inflated after the pandemic, but now they seem to be coming down in our area, the weather is changing and maybe a new place to live is in your forecast, buying a home may be out of range with mortgage rates high, but rentals for now may be worth exploring. The state of new york has seen some of the most aggressive declines in rental prices from their peak. When we look across the major counties, we track in Nassau County, rental prices are down 9.5% from their peak in New york city down 9% and those rents were really increasing a lot during 2021. In Westchester, they're down 5.1% and in Suffolk County down 3.6%. Landlords need to entice renters when vacancies are up, rental vacancies continue to increase as prices come down and they've been really dropping in Westchester County where they're down 4%. But as prices continue to drop, you'll see vacancies increase, which is good news for folks looking to rent an apartment or a house. If you find something you like, try to negotiate with the landlord, ask for a free rent for a month or free parking. You don't ask, you don't get, I'm Janice Lieberman and that's the real deal
