Good morning, Fort Greene and Clinton Hill.

Winter coats might need to be shelved in exchange for rainwear for the next two days, according to the National Weather Service. There’s a 60 percent chance of rain today and tomorrow there’s nearly a 100 percent chance, with temperatures hitting the low 60s. It’s a tradeoff — warmer weather, but wetter skies.

  • The Fort Greene Grant Square Neighborhood Center will host a Thanksgiving dinner for seniors today. It’s an early bird special — come to the center at 19 Rogers Avenue between noon and 1 p.m. to get your heaping helping.
  • St. Joseph’s College’s women’s basketball team won the Cedar Crest College Tournament with a win against NYU Poly during the weekend. With 11 points scored during the match-up, Kelly McNamee received the tournament’s MVP award. The Lady Bears’ season continues after the holiday, with an away game against Southern Virginia on Nov. 30, before meeting King’s College on the Lady Bears’ home court. Check the team’s schedule to find out when you can root for the team at home.
