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.

So this is a game that's become a staple at barbecues and beaches. You know what I'm talking about cornhole, we sure are. And with the weather getting colder, you may need to take the game inside, there's just such a spot in Toms River News 12. Photojournalist Matt nash takes us there on a road trip close to home, fun bags, cornhole lounge is the go to indoor cornhole facility in Toms River. We're about five minutes away from seaside heights. It's really blown up over the past couple of years we got this spot because one day I was sitting on my brother's couch just flipping through channels and I see on tv there's professional cornhole. I'm thinking to myself, there's ax throwing places, there's escape rooms. But what about indoor cornhole? We played by american cornhole Association Professional rules. If you hit 21 or over the game's over. The idea is you get either the bag on the board, that's one point or on the whole, it's three points. This is an example of what would be scoring a one point for this team. So if there's two on the board for one team and one on the board for the other team, there would be a cancelation. And then what we would do is we would move this on up to represent the one point, I'll be honest, I love playing cornhole, that one looked good for it. It's something that in the summertime, you know myself, my friends, my family, it's one of like the exciting games that we enjoy playing outside now that it's getting colder. I have no interest of being outside, so having this is a huge opportunity. Come on, anybody can play this sport. We have Children parties, we have adults play, we have an older crowd, we had a group play in their seventies, they had matching t shirts, anybody can play this. One of the things that we like to do, something that's a little bit different as a fun challenge for us and for our, our competitors, we bring out an air mail box. It's something that we do to give out some prizes at the end of the night, we'll give them an opportunity to do the airmail challenge where they'll have to get the bag in the hole and then we give them a prize. Yeah, when guests come to our facility, they should expect an amazing customer experience. We have music blasting custom playlists, we have NFL sunday ticket, B Y O B. This is really a fun place for all ages. The coolest part is something that's just new, innovative, you know, ease of just getting involved. It's not expensive. It's an easy way to just get out of the house and have a good time. Funbags is open thursday through sunday for more information on hours and their pricing, just check news 12 dot com
