That's good, boy. All right. So our forecast going into tomorrow is gonna be filled with clouds. We are going to be dealing with an opportunity maybe for a quick little Sprinkle or maybe a flurry. But again, I mean, nothing, nothing really to worry about at all. And even if it, if, if it does happen, I'm going to be extremely, the atmosphere is very stable, but we are starting to see things cool down so it will try to squeeze out any available moisture. And if the winds are gusty enough, maybe some lake enhanced flurries try to make the trip into New Jersey. There's a system that's dropping down to our south. That's what's going to probably aid in delivering some wet weather sprinkles to the southern half of New Jersey. By tomorrow afternoon, we are going to look for temperatures to continue to drop down into the thirties for tonight. All of that under mainly cloudy skies, some of the cooler air will be up towards the north into the west in the upper twenties. The breeze will make it feel just slightly cooler out there as far as wet weather or wintry weather is concerned just based on radar right now, there might be a flurry ongoing just to the south at 287 there in Somerset County. We're not anticipating anything in the way of accumulations. It's not going to be a big deal, but we are going to be looking for this instability to stick around for tonight tomorrow and even going into Thursday and Thursday, I think would be a better opportunity to see some maybe lake and hand streamers streaking across the area. As far as the cold air is concerned, this is going to continue to move through the area very quickly. We'll more than likely see a good shot of chilly weather returning to the area. Tomorrow afternoon, daytime highs are going to be for the most part in and around the lower forties. We have lower forties on Thursday as well and then the temperatures slowly begin to rebound. Once we get back up towards Friday, Friday is going to be the best day of the week. We are going to be looking for a decent amount of sunshine with daytime, high temperatures that are going to top out for the most part in and around the lower fifties. Saturday is looking pretty good Sunday, not all that great. Looks like we're going to be dealing with a wind driven rain event and as that rain starts to sweep across the area, looks like it happens later in the afternoon, we could be looking at a decent surge of rain and some winds could be gusting to 30 maybe even 40 miles an hour up against the coastline. I'll have more details on that forecast coming up in just a little bit. Dave. Thank you goodness, gracious. Great barrels of fire next in three things to know.

Our business models that we uh we grow and we sell our produce. So we grow over 250 different types of produce here at the farm. New Jersey is in the top five of peach production.
