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.

Made In New Jersey: Bagging hot peanuts right in Cranford

While working with family that can be a tough nut to crack. But one New Jersey Cluster has kept a local business going for more than nine decades. Here's Britney Miller with this week's made in New Jersey. Welcome to nuts dot com. A national brand based right here in Cranford, New Jersey. So what do you say? We go inside and get a little nuts first stop in this 140,000 square foot facility. The roasting room, we take our freshly harvested cashews. They then come down here, they cook in the oil, they dry in this drying tunnel and as they come out, they get seasoned with salt and in a few minutes, nutty perfection. I like to say, I have cashews kind of coursing through my veins. David Braverman has been doing this for more than 20 years, bagging hot peanuts at the family business as a kid. But back then, it was Newark Nut Company started by his grandfather. Ok. So this is my father, Ken Braverman, s dad. Poppy Soul opened the shop back in 1929 a fixture on Mulberry Street for decades. The Newark Nut company was well known back in those days because of this open air market and the roasting of by 1998 Ken's son, Jeff Braverman wanted to join the family business. My dad and my uncle verbatim said you're nuts. A year later, Jeff took a small company out of its shell starting nuts online dot com, which became nuts dot com. In 2012 orders came in like 10 X like instantly. It was unbelievable. My dad said shut it off. We didn't shut it off. Going from five employees in a nut shop to 550 in six facilities all across the country selling 3500 products to offices, micro breweries and even Delta Airlines. The best sellers are going to be your typical stuff like pistachios all PC. And if you don't want to crack nuts, you can certainly satisfy your sweet tooth. So welcome to Willy Wonka's dream come true nuts dot com. Bought Copper's chocolate back in 2016. We specialize in innovative flavors, colors making batches of bon bons by hand. We use roughly just dark chocolate around 120,000. This is a special machine that creates a waterfall of chocolate. JP Oliveira has worked here for 36 years. Oh, and he even revealed an exclusive new decadent dessert. These are our specialty chocolate covered Oreos. Moment of truth. Yeah, it's that good. From chocolate to dried nuts to seeds and more nuts dot com is more than just nuts. It's a three generation family owned business born in Jersey, bringing almond joy to customers for 94 years.
