Back in my day. All right, let's see where the forecast is headed. As we go into the weekend, we've got rain. We have wind and a lot of it. Now, the timing of it is going to be critical. Most of the storminess that we're anticipating for Sunday is going to happen very late Sunday night into early Monday morning, the weekend is salvageable. Saturday is great and warm. We just see a little bit more cloud coverage. The first part of Sunday, up until about maybe three, four o'clock in the afternoon should be dry. Then the showers start and become steadier and heavier when all is said and done. We're likely going to pick up between 1 to 2 inches of rain in our rain gauges and a lot of that is going to happen very quickly and then the winds are picking up also. So it's a wind driven rain and if we do approach wind gusts of 4045 maybe even 50 miles an hour and it lasts for a couple of hours occasionally hitting those gusts, not, it's not gonna be a 34 hour sustained 40 or 50 mile an hour. Wind gust, it's periodically happening, but that's the type of wind that could get the power to flicker from time to time. We're at 39 dropping down to about 32. The opportunity for rain is going to be Sunday night into Monday morning, Saturday is looking great. Sunday afternoon is ok. It's cloudy but you'll be able to feel it in the air that the rain is certainly going to be building. So for tonight, temperatures, twenties and thirties with just a few clouds around Friday is gorgeous with sunshine. Temperatures are back up into the upper forties. We look at the extended forecast and as I mentioned, Saturday is warm but clouds are building Sunday morning, early Sunday afternoon, cloudy dry that changes going into Sunday night into early Monday morning. Give yourself a lot of extra time in that Monday morning routine to potentially deal with some travel headaches, getting wherever you go, the rain and the wind are gone for next week, the sunshine is back out but the cold that returns with morning lows in the twenties and thirties, daytime highs in the lower forties.

Kids with special needs participate in various activities at 'Move the Spectrum' event

RTNJAutismFieldDayNatPack8pm

it was a field day that students won't soon forget the move the spectrum event is a place where kids with special needs from schools across the tri state can play to their heart's content. Used to a photojournalist mike roberts gives us a closer look. Three one go. The move the spectrum is across curriculum event that are created to bring kids on the spectrum together to experience many different activities. So kids on the spectrum respond differently to different things. So we have a sound school that's here, we have art, we have physical education, we have R. O. T. C, we have a police academy, a dance school. So we want the kids to have a great day, spend five minutes here. You will feed off their energy, everybody clap your head. Oh yeah, I rather like to dance. If I did the dance, I want to do the side. It benefits him because it gives him access to a lot of different types of opportunities within his community, within the school setting. It enables him to make friends with all different kinds of students, not just students on the spectrum or students with disabilities that make me happy is Miss Gina and MS Goldstein follow the dance with me. So the age we have grades nine through 12 and then there's an 18 to 21 program that numerous schools have on the shirt, you see, connect, create and conquer. It also gives them the chance to connect with other kids and other schools within the community to expand and grow this. Each and every year, kids are amazing and their energy is amazing, and when you see the smile on your face that does it all.
