The approach to the George Washington bridge. Getting busy. Yeah, it is getting busy as it does this time. Let's talk about just how cold it's going to get tonight tonight. We're looking for temperatures to be around the freezing mark. And then as we go through the next couple of nights, we'll probably be looking at temperatures subfreezing around most of New Jersey obviously be colder in the pine barrens and up towards the northwest corner of the state with clear skies and a light wind. Now, for this week, our temperatures are cooling off and that all starts tomorrow morning and takes you into Tuesday afternoon, Wednesday and Thursday daytime, highs are only going to be in the lower forties morning, lows should be subfreezing in just about every neighborhood of New Jersey. Then we get closer to the weekend and temperatures shoot back up and it looks like Sunday will be filled with rain and wind. At least that's the way the guidance is painting this weather scenario for the weekend right now, it may change. So make sure you keep checking back with the news 12 storm watch team for all the latest details how this is all going to evolve. But right now it does look like Sunday would be the wetter stretch of weather. Another weekend where we feature a little bit more rain for the second half of the weekend. Waking up Tuesday morning, temperatures are going to be in the lower thirties. We do see some clouds rolling in. You'll start off with some sunshine by the end of the day, we're looking at mainly cloudy skies. Daytime highs are stuck in the upper thirties and lower forties. Colder air is beginning to rush in from Canada, Canada right now with the north westerly north, north westerly wind at around 5 to 15 miles an hour. So that will keep temperatures on the cool side of seasonable. By Wednesday morning, a partly cloudy sky with temperatures hovering at or just below the freezing mark except for the shoreline, probably looking at about 33 or 34 there, Wednesday afternoon, a little, a few more neighborhoods not even making it to 40 degrees for a daytime high temperature in northwestern New Jersey, the rest of the state should stay in the lower forties. As far as Thursday is concerned, partly sunny skies again. Still on the chillier side. It looks like Thursday will probably be the coldest day of this week. Morning, lows, upper twenties, daytime highs in the lower forties and then the temperatures begin to recover a little bit for Friday under mainly sunny skies. Well, that's the pick of the week, you've got a 51 degree high temperature with mainly sunny skies, mainly cloudy skies. On Saturday. We could be dealing with some rain and wind as we roll into Sunday. More details on the New Jersey forecast moments.

she's making a splash at school and also in her community. This week's scholar athlete is Elaine Peterson from Hightstown High School, Lane is captain of the swim team, finishing first in the Mercer County swim championships this year. She's broken multiple school and county records, many of them her own that I would actually feel challenged in the same way and after a really tough swim practice or meat. So obviously that just kind of hooks you in a little bit more because you have to, you have to just dedicate yourself more. Lane has a 4.0 GP. A. And is a member of her school's Red Cross club where she helps collect donations for local charities. Her motto, give everything you do 110%. There are some accolades I've gotten as well, but I don't think anything kind of comes near to kind of the dedication I may put into the things I do. Lane will head to West Point this fall where she will swim for the women's team, Congrats to her
