And speaking of ice is expected to get colder out there. Meteorologist Michelle Powers joins us now and we are on storm watch. Michelle, what can you tell us? Well, we have a lot more rain before the morning comes and roads are going to be wet. It's going to be sloppy as we start the day. But temperatures are above freezing, we're going to watch them fall throughout the day and heading into Tuesday, any standing water that is left over that could become icy. So plan ahead. Now there could be some minor slowdowns on the roads and as for snow don't get your hopes up. There's a chance as you go up in elevation and throughout parts of the Poconos, that's where really most of this will fall. So the colder air rushes in temperatures are really going to drop as we head into Tuesday morning, we're near freezing. The next couple of mornings will be much colder daytime, highs in the forties and no rain in sight until next weekend.

Main Street New Jersey: Spotlighting small businesses in Monmouth County

It is a great Friday and we are featuring local business on Main Street, New Jersey. And today Lauren do is in Spring Lake. Locals call it the Irish Riviera. My aunt and uncle used to have a place at the Ss and Sussex down there in Spring Lake. I know it. Well, it is a great place. Yeah. Yeah. Good afternoon, Rick. We got the bagpiper here. This is Mike with the Irish Center. He's gonna, he's walking the streets. He is walking main street this morning, walking Third Avenue in Spring Lake. All right, I want to show you all the businesses that we teach our Scott and Mike. They're gonna do a little dance because Mike has to get on his way because he's walking third at all. Right. I got my coffee from noon. I have scones from Mike from Nick and Sons Chocolate from Third Avenue, chocolates, doughnuts dune donuts. There you go. And scones from the scone pony fresh out of the oven. We are just enjoying our Friday here in Spring Lake. We have a little bit of Ireland. If you can't make Ireland just come by and that we did from collectibles at the Irish center to an Irish dinner at Tom Bailey's Market, you know, corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, shepherd's pie, everything Irish. And it was delicious time for an Irish coffee at Driftwood coffee house. People can come, you can hang out, there's no rush to get in and out of here. Um And it's great because we've kind of built that reputation in town and somewhere that people can come and enjoy their time while they have a cup of coffee. All these stores lining third av in Spring Lake at the start, there's the green awnings of Kate and company. You couldn't pick a better spot for a shop like this. And, you know, my mom had a vision and here we are almost 28 years later, been here since 2006. And the best thing ever happened to us, very, very good community and we're proud to serve them. We shot from the cases at Spring Lake jewelers and picked out trendy outfits from charity brand. So the brand is the brand we started 10 years ago. It was a lifelong dream and my twin brother Mike and I, and it's inspired by our life growing up in Spring Lake at the beach, spending vacations in California and living in New York City more on a coastal vibe for Spring Lake. We're two blocks from the beach. Yeah. Yeah, we are. Yeah. It's amazing living. We soaked in the salt air, an amazing plant displays at Terra Earth and Surf grabbed a great book to read while lounging here at Thunder Road books. Our owner is Basil Ironic. He owns Thunder Road films. So Thunder Road, we love the art of storytelling. So in all forms, so we focus on music, on film. We lean into rock and roll a little bit and then the mayor of Spring by to support the local businesses, whether you want a birthday gift, Christening gift, a wedding gift, something for yourself, piece of jewelry, a great sandwich, some chocolate donut. You can find it here and it's not easy to do that in the downtown. We are very, very proud of. We found it. All right, Rick. We're in spring, Lake Lauren. Do news. 12 New Jersey.
