We're back again with, this is a star Mandy Moore talking all about the holidays. Yeah. So tell us, do you have any big plans with your family? So we have um a, a one year old now and a 2.5 year old. And I think we're just excited to like be home last year. We were traveling for work and we, we lived on the east coast for like five months and had a newborn baby with me and not being at home to sort of celebrate that first holiday season together was, it was a new experience and it was wonderful, but I'm excited to sort of hunker down here and kind of start to figure out what those traditions are going to be as a family of four and just be cozy. I mean, this is my favorite time of year. I think it's everyone's favorite time of year, but just that sense of togetherness and connectivity and connecting with friends and having dinner parties and all of that fun stuff. I'm just, I'm looking forward to everything that the holiday season is going to bring. Did you have a tradition you were growing up that you loved it. Like, you know, it's always that one thing you want to bring to your family. Like, what was my favorite tradition growing up? We had a silly one that my parents, my parents didn't have. Well, they claim they had no food in the house on Christmas Eve, their first year being married. So they had like breakfast for dinner. And that was something we did throughout our childhood. And again, it's not like a big deal, but it was so much fun. I don't know, as a kid, I was always like, yes, we get eggs for dinner, eggs and bacon. Um, so I feel like something fun like that would be, would be fun to pass on with our kids. Um, but yeah, making cookies, we're actually getting ready to move. Um, so I'm excited to kind of put down roots and feel, um, I don't know, like, figure out what our traditions are going to be in this new home and getting settled and all of that. I'm very much looking forward to this season of life. It's going to be like a nesting. Exactly. Exactly. Breakfast for dinner. That's the breakfast for dinner is the best. Any excuse for another cup of coffee too. I'm thank you so much. Thank you guys. Have a good rest of your day.

That you're out on the roads. Yes. It's just a little like, you know, quick. Oh, there it is. And a quick chuckle. Right. Um, that's exactly what we're dealing with today. It's like a quick little cold plunge and tomorrow. Really? We're back to more seasonable types. So we have to contend with these colder temperatures just a little while longer. We do get to stop freezing later on today. So eight o'clock, you'll notice temperatures really taking a deep dive, but it doesn't last for too long. Tomorrow, we wake up with fields a little bit more manageable into the twenties. And by Friday and Saturday we're back into swing with the forties and fifties as ultimate high temperatures. Now, what's gonna influence? Of course, a warmth are the winds, the winds will also tack back down heading into the afternoon today and not be as gusty. Now, they will be coming back tomorrow Thursday, but notice a direction here out of the south and southwest that also adds into a little bit more of that warmth and milder feel. Overall, we are tracking some wet weather returning once again, kind of all day, really nuisance rain. We're not looking at significant rain totals for Friday, but of course, you're gonna have to keep your umbrella handy today. It's sunny and still frigid. I know many of us are noticing that layers is really the best way to go and protect ourselves from the cold, cold temperatures into the thirties. Right around five o'clock, the clouds will fall, then they will decrease clearing up for our night sky tonight. Then we'll notice some more clouds just passing on through for Friday. Now, Friday morning, we wake up into the thirties right around lunchtime. We'll notice overcast skies and northern portions getting the showers first. A little bit of a break right between two and four o'clock and then more widespread showers. Belmar to Jackson, expecting a little bit more moderate rainfall clears out nicely by nine o'clock. All in all. We're trending a bit more. We wet, heading into December 9th.

With storm watch team, neurologist Alex Calamia. Alex. Do you do the Spotify? Unwrapped or you? Apple music replay? I do have a Spotify. I did not realize that we were already at this point in the year. It comes up so quick and I mean, that's why it feels so cold. I know. I know it's true. The weather is reminding us that. Yes, winter time is around the corner. We are chilly all the way through tomorrow morning and we are dry all day. Thursday. So Thursday actually looks pretty decent in the afternoon because temperatures rebound. But the rest of today is cold, cold, cold Friday. We're talking about rain. It's cloudy for the first half of the day and then kind of sprinkles, light showers for the evening time. It's nothing really too significant but it could get you a little wet at times and same for the weekend. It's generally a cloudy weekend. And if you have plans Saturday or Sunday evening, there will be a little bit of rain in the mix too. We're stuck in the thirties though, for the rest of today. There's no novelty snow flakes like we saw yesterday. It's too dry for that today. Temperatures are, you know, pretty similar, but the wind is not as bad today. So that helps. But it does feel like basically 30 degrees all afternoon and it feels like twenties for your Thursday morning. So this is what you're waking up to as far as wind chill goes. I'll show you the temperatures in a second, but the wind chill is what you want to pay attention to tomorrow. Still a bit of a breeze. In the afternoon, we have lots of sunshine. Highs are in the mid, upper forties, but it feels like lower forties. So that's kind of important to keep in mind you'll need the heavy jacket this evening. And tonight, actual temperatures are close to freezing this morning. It was 27 in Central Park and that was the coldest we've been since February 25th. So it's an improvement tomorrow, but not much. And then on Friday, it's going to be similar temperatures, but we've got some rain to talk about. You see, in the morning it's dry on Friday, but in the afternoon we tracking a few showers, lunchtime, very light shower chance. And then the evening commute the second half of the evening commute, especially dinner time or so, we'll see a few passing showers or maybe even a downpour, but it's pretty brief. Saturday morning should be dry. Saturday afternoon, enough cloud cover to bring in a stray shower chance, but we're keeping an eye over a 10 day for now. Sunday, that rain risk is a little bit higher in the afternoon and evening temperatures are back in the forties and fifties.

If you're heading down to add a little sparkle to the season max. Absolutely. It'll be tightly packed together too, so it'll be a little bit warmer feeling down there. But I mean, this is another cold day and just to kind of point out here today, it's the really cold feel tomorrow a bit better. Still going to be a slight chill in the air for Thursday. We expect there to be a little bit of a chill around this time of the year. Right. We're almost to December after all. But today still feeling like the twenties tomorrow will feel like the upper thirties to low forties into the afternoon. Certainly heading in the right direction tomorrow. In terms of what to wear from here on out today, temperatures at best today are in the thirties, but with that breeze at 10 to 20 MPH, you definitely need the heavy coat, the hat, the gloves, a few extra layers, make sure all the extremities are covered. So you're a bit more comfortable as you even, uh, head to and from the car and that sort of thing, uh, throughout the afternoon, especially if, if you have to be out for any prolonged stretch. If you're working outside or anything like that, you really want to make sure you're covered in multiple layers tonight tonight. Back down into the mid twenties, the wind thankfully is not too strong overnight. Tonight, it's light at around 5 to 10 MPH, but that's enough to make it feel like the upper teens to lower twenties into early tomorrow morning. So tomorrow afternoon, middle and upper forties for those actual daytime, highs winds at around 5 to 15 MPH can make it feel closer to 40 or so during the afternoon hours. But even still, that's a far cry from the teens and twenties. Those feels like temperatures have been yesterday and today. So I want to also draw your attention to some rain moving in for Friday. This is not a super soaker of a storm or anything like that on Friday and Friday even starts off dry. But as we head towards around noon time on Friday, there will be rain showers developing across the Hudson Valley and this is mostly at worst moderate rain showers. A lot of this will be light and we expect rainfall totals to be around or under a quarter of an inch with this. This is not a ton of rain, there will not be flooding and think of it as kind of off and on periods of rain from around noon time on, on a through around seven or so in the evening. But this is nothing that's going to really lead to any da damage or anything like that. No, widespread flooding. Just something that we're watching in terms of some on and off periods of showers Friday afternoon and early evening, Saturday, the drier half of the weekend, mostly cloudy, upper forties could be a couple of showers. Sunday. Better chance for showers will actually arrive on Monday if anything, Tuesday of next week, an isolated shower before drier weather pushes right back in for next Wednesday through Friday with highs mostly in the forties.

I'm meteorologist Rich Hoffman, hyperlocal weather forecast. We've had some chilly weather conditions. The last 24 hours we had some snow yesterday. So the cold weather still out there with a high of 39 degrees, kind of mostly sunny to a mixture of sun and clouds. And then tomorrow mostly sunny some afternoon clouds, a high of 48 degrees and we're looking at some fifties heading towards the weekend. So a little bit of that warmer weather coming our way after the deep chill the last 24 hours, you can see feels like temperatures have been in the twenties out there for this afternoon. So cold weather running errands leaving work bundle up. You have the cold numbers, the rest that say feels like temperatures in the twenties. The evening rush hour will be dry with a temperature around 34 degrees in corm 31 at 8 p.m. and down into the twenties when you wake up tomorrow morning. So we have one more morning of the cold weather, wind chills around 20 degrees and you can tomorrow afternoon in Riverhead at one o'clock, it's around 47 degrees sunshine, dry conditions, so some nice weather with that warm up coming away on Thursday before we start to see some wet weather for Friday, a few clouds around four this afternoon, that mixture of sun and clouds, it's breezy and it's cold and you can see now we're dry today. Tomorrow, we're looking at some nice weather. Thursday afternoon, temperatures will be in the mid forties. Some clouds come in Thursday night. And then by Friday morning, we're starting to see more clouds developing not as cold Friday morning. And then for your Friday afternoon, highs will be in the fifties tracking some wet weather. Now, Friday evening, some showers coming in and they're gone rather quickly. It's about a four hour window of some wet weather highs today are in the thirties. It's sun and clouds, it's cold twenties. Four tonight. Fifties. By the time we get towards Friday now, wet weather, more rain, Sunday into Monday.

Another check of the weather. Now with storm watch team, meteorologist, Alex Kalama. Now, Alex yesterday, people even saw some flurries earlier in the day. Are we expecting that or no, no, no flurries today? But officially Central Park did consider it a trace because you saw the flurries, even though it didn't stick, that counted as a trace of snow. But today it's just plain old cold tomorrow morning, pretty chilly too. But tomorrow afternoon, we actually rebound nicely. But then we have to watch plain old rain on Friday the afternoon and the evening you'll need the umbrella. Temperatures are back close to 50 at that point. So it's definitely not going to be anything other than rain. But hey, you know, it's something you'll want to keep in mind the weekend isn't perfect. It's cloudy, but we have a chance for some sprinkles in between those clouds as well. Overall temperatures are going to be milder for the weekend than where we've been. Let's talk today though because we're still on our Wednesday and temperatures are just about as cold as they were yesterday. But the wind is not as bad. We're expecting temperatures to slowly drop into the mid thirties for any late evening plans. It will feel like closer to freezing at that point. In fact, let's talk about the, feels like temperatures because tomorrow morning we're close to 30 on the thermometer, but it does feel like mid twenties. So again, you need the winter jacket, especially early in the day, but maybe just like a light jacket in the afternoon, it's not warm, but it feels like forties and temperatures will be a little bit closer to the 50 degree mark. So tonight, again, dropping near freezing but feels like twenties everywhere. Tomorrow, close to 50 a few spots might hit 50 but I'm expecting most of the afternoon to kind of just be around the mid forties. It's also very sunny too. Today, tomorrow, the air is dry. We really don't have any worries about rain until Friday, probably late afternoon or so. We're starting to see it push through the Bronx around noon time, Friday, just light light showers. The bulk of the rain doesn't come until the later half of the evening. Commute on Friday. This is 5 p.m. and then it's added here by Saturday morning. But you do see it is mainly cloudy on Saturday. So expect those clouds to be pretty widespread Saturday and Sunday. But the rain risk is low, maybe Saturday evening, maybe Sunday night. You see a few showers. Temperatures are not nearly as cold after we get through today though. You see we're back in the forties and fifties, which is about right for this time of the year. All right, Alex.

All right. Let's take a look outside through our community camera in Norwalk Storm Watch team. Meteorologist, Jonathan Cubit. He joins us. Now he's at Orchard Hills Elementary in Milford. Hey, Becky and the kids, they got another reminder for us. They tell us not to forget our. That's right. The coldest weather we've seen so far this season, we've gotten through the worst of it earlier on this morning. But as we progress getting into tonight, one more cold shot, now, temperatures do rebound as we head into your tomorrow as well as your Friday. Unfortunately, we have to wash for showers as we push forward into your Friday night. But after we get through today into your tomorrow again, better weather temperatures starting off in the thirties. We're not going to deal with that biting and chill for your tomorrow morning while you still want to bundle up. We do better heading into your afternoon that high pressures are gonna take over, remain in control. So we're gonna continue with this dry quiet weather. You're just gonna need to grab the coat. So I know it's feeling a little bit more like midwinter for today, but we're back to more seasonal numbers even heading into your Friday. Now, first half of your Friday looks good. We're staying dry. We're actually stepping out the door into some 40 degree weather kind of where we should be for this time of year. But as we head into your afternoon, right around that lunch period, clouds start to fill in and then we're watching for some showers. We'll catch a little bit of a break for that commute home around 45 o'clock for your Friday afternoon. Getting into your Friday evening before we see another round of your showers late Friday evening into your Friday night. So, yeah, maybe date night, maybe dinner night, maybe heading out to the movies. You're definitely gonna wanna grab the umbrella or something with the hood that what weather moves in that week front is gonna produce some showers into your late Friday night before we dry out. Nicely. Heading into the weekend. First half looks good for your Saturday. Still working with some 50 degree weather. I like Saturday a little more than Sunday because it looks like we could see a few more showers in the mix to wrap up the week and looks like an unsettled pattern heading into the first half of next week.

be Well: Mandy Moore on motherhood, marriage and her health

1120BeWellMandyMooreHealth_2023-11-20-10-00-14

Our first guest is best known for her Emmy nominated role on the hit series. This is us an amazing show. She has since gone back to her music roots is focusing on motherhood and is speaking out about a health condition that she shares with of people, Mandy Moore. Welcome to the show. Thank you so much for joining us now taking a look at your Instagram. I, I love, you know how many family moments and things you share, but you did, you actually meet your husband on Instagram. Is this true? I mean, I didn't slide into his D MS. It was a little before those, but yes, we did. We met each other because of Instagram. So, um my husband is a musician. He's in a band and I was in the car driving. I heard a song that I liked on the radio and this was back in 2015 and I was waiting for them to back out like who the band was, what the song was. And I finally went on the, the radio station's website. I kind of deduced what the song was and who the band was. I looked them up online and I saw they had a new album coming out and I was new to Instagram. I was a late adopter in 2015 and I posted a picture of their album cover and said something innocuous like this is gonna be the soundtrack of my summer. And I didn't tag them or do anything but lo and behold, a mutual friend of ours, uh, told my husband, hey, I think Mandy posted about you guys and he saw and managed to send me an email somehow because we had mutual friends. And um and then we started communicating and went out on like an epic first date and that was it. So yes, Instagram helped us foster that connection. Like if it weren't for Instagram, I don't know, we wouldn't have found each other. Maybe. So he sang his way into your heart literally. But wait, I gotta know about what was so epic about this first date. We had one of those, we went and had sushi and I think we were the only two people in the restaurant when, when the date started and then people filtered in and then we closed down the restaurant. We were there for like three hours just like nonstop talking, finished a bottle of sake. Like it was just that instant connection. And I, I went thinking like, oh cool. Like maybe I'll make a new musician friend. Like I didn't know what he looked like. I, I didn't sort of, like, scope anything out. And of course I walked in and immediately was like, oh, dang, he's really handsome. Like, what am I, what am I getting myself into? But it all worked out. I love that. I love that. Now, you have two sons, right. Yes. And are they so into the music? Oh, yes. And no. So, our older guy is a little over 2.5 and he, um, he has like, well curated musical leanings, I think because of Taylor of my husband. Like, you know, Gus likes Bruce Springsteen and Warren Zevon and like all kinds of cool music. But he's at the point now where of course we'll put on a good song and we'll sing along and he's like, no mama singing. No dad is singing. He just wants to hear the artist, which fair enough I want to hear the Boss sing too. But our little guy just turned a year old Ozzie and he is very into music. He's a mellow guy anyway. But music is like the one thing that seems to really like, focus him. He loves when my husband plays guitar. He loves when we sing together. So I'm like, ok, well, maybe we got one kid then that appreciates the music that mom and dad make. Yeah. Well, I could tell motherhood looks good on you because you glow when you talk about it. I love when you love. But how would you say that? Being a mother has influenced your music and just your outlook on life. I don't feel like, I mean, any parent out there I'm sure can attest to the fact that it like, it changes you on a cellular level. So I feel like your lens on the world, every decision you make. Like it, it's permeated everything. So it, it influences everything. I mean, I feel like it definitely impacts what I write about. Obviously, when I can find the time to write. Um it influences the choices I make, I think as an actor and on that side of my life as well, like, ok, I'm in an incredibly lucky and privileged position having found, you know, success as an actor and a musician. And it allows me to, you know, the ability to make certain choices. And it's like, I realize now as a parenthood, the value and saying no and having boundaries and really choosing to do things for all of the right reasons because it is something that is ultimately going to take me away from being with my family and spending time with my family. So it's like things have to mean a lot more or mean something in a new way that I think when I was younger and before Children, I was like, ah, you know, sure, why not? Like, I'll just like, jump into that and, and now I, I feel like I have to protect myself and protect my time I just, I value it in a different sense now because of, of parenthood and being a mom. Yeah, 100%. Now, I know you're actually here to bring awareness to a chronic condition that you've dealt with for years. So, so tell us, yeah, so a few years ago I noticed that like the skin on my face was red and rashy and peeling and inflamed and itchy and all of those things. And I think because I was working a lot, I just assumed, ok, I wear a lot of makeup. I put on prosthetic makeup work like this clearly has something to do with that. But when I kind of threw the kitchen sink at it and nothing really alleviated the symptoms or helped my skin get better. I reconciled like I have to go to the dermatologist and I was diagnosed with at topic dermatitis, which is the most common form of eczema. And I have partnered as a paid spokesperson with insight to just talk about my firsthand experience with, with eczema and really to empower others to find relief from their symptoms in the way that I have and learn about what their treatment options are and just encourage people to, to speak to their dermatologists. So we've partnered on this particular campaign called Moments of Clarity. And it really is just highlighting stories of real people that live with eczema and who have found relief in their symptoms. And again, it's all just about encouraging people to see themselves and to be inspired by these stories and to find relief and talk to their doctor. Well, we actually have a clip from your Moments of clarity campaign. So let's take a look at. It's so frustrating. My eczema is mainly sort of localized around my eyes. It's itchy, it's uncomfortable. What were some of the things that you tried in order to find relief? So many things, steroids, lotions, sometimes we'd have to put socks over my hands and then wrap the socks. Try to, like, keep the moisture on it. I just really lost hope for a long time. Was there one particular incident that just, we were at a high school football game playing catch? I caught the football and my skin broke and it started bleeding. I went straight to my mom and said I'm tired of it. I wanna find something that's gonna work. What did you learn as being part of this? I mean, I'm, I'm, like, choked up. Yeah. I mean, that's sweet, Anna. I loved her and her, her mother, Rachel. I mean, as a parent especially, it just really hit home. My, my little guy, Gus has eczema as well and I know that's something he got for me. I'm like, oh, I can't believe I passed that on to you. But I guess it's just just the general idea that, like, we're not an anomaly, like, there's millions of people around this country. And around the world that are living with this condition. And I think we all recognize how it can impact our daily lives and you feel self conscious about it. Obviously, Anna in that clip was talking about, you know, the tremendous impact it had not just on her self confidence, but also it's painful. And again, as a parent, I think the helpless feeling of, of watching your child um suffer and, and, and be in discomfort is, is just the worst feeling and recognizing empowering yourself to recognize that there are options out there. There are ways that you can find relief from those symptoms and ultimately live a healthier happier life. We're so glad you're bringing awareness to such a thing that affects so many people around the world. Truly. We're encouraging people to visit my moments of clarity.com to learn more about this particular campaign. And yeah, just excited to help spread the word.
