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.

Video games meet physical fitness in this week’s Road Trip

Now imagine being in a real life video game. Now you can and this week's road trip close to home, join us as we sweat, jump run and have fun and activate the American Dream malls. New high tech gaming facility, activate games is unique experience where it is active gaming. It is physical fitness, mixed with new age technology. There is a lot of running, jumping, climbing, crawling, throwing throughout this entire facility where you have 45 minutes. And in that time you will be tired and you'll be sweating by the end. There's games where you're dodging around lasers. There's games in here where you're running across the floor. There's games where you're throwing asteroids that are flying. You, there's games where you have to climb on the wall. You can be moving and working out and it's all gaming. Instead of seeing something on a screen, you're actually here doing it. The games here are laser hide, mega grid grid, push arena, climb control and hoops. This is mega grid. The game that you can see being played around us right now is zones. It displays colors and you have a specific amount of time in this game four seconds. I'm Sammy News. 12 intern and Lara is gonna show me how to play mega zones. All right. So right here. So basically you're just gonna go to the color that the room says to go. So if it says red, you go to red. If it says blue, you go to blue. Yeah, go for that one. If you don't get there in time, then you lose a life. If you do get there in time, you continue to the next round. Is that it? So that means we won level one. That's just level one and then we lock the other level 10 no, I keep doing it. This is very active. The game we're gonna play next is called zap. The goal is to get all the blue circles and make sure you get enough of them to go beat the level. There's no specific theme. It's just different activities that work out different parts of your body. Every single room has multiple different games inside ranging anywhere from 2 to 9 different games inside of the room. So on average, there's 40 games inside this entire facility. If you like it, you can keep pushing it farther and farther and farther. See how far you can go inside that game, a team fun event. So we organized like all of our 20 something people to come over. I think that is really fun. It's like a really unique concept and it's like a nice way to, like, move around a little and play with your teammates and stuff like that. What my favorite game is so far, probably the grid one. It's like not that hard to learn and it like, really, like it's a Cooper game, right? So you're all trying to move towards the same goals? OK. That was good. I think I hit every red tile there ever was. You get an experience that is Cooper as teamwork. It'll have your entire group running and moving and laughing and smiling. It's just fun.
