4 things to watch for -- Tuesday, October 15th
Evrod Cassimy: Call it a two for one! It was Monday, one of my favorite days of the week….but Monday was also NATIONAL DESSERT DAY!!!!!!!!!! We had the kind people from M Street Baking Company stop by to drop off the most incredible desserts! The picture is of one of their milkshakes. They are highly unlike your average milkshake from that fast food restaurant where the ice cream machine is always broken. These are, dare we say GOURMET milkshakes! Not to mention, M Street also dropped off some cupcakes with the Local 4 logo on them. Don't ask how many I ate. That's none of your business. LOL
And as if this week couldn't get any better, it's Tasty Tuesday during pizza month. We are featuring my FIRST love, Jet's pizza! I'm so excited! Is there really anything better than pizza, especially Detroit-style pizza from Jets? No. We'll share their family story and of course eat all the pizza. This is a must see! I hope you'll join us. Tune in from 4:30 to 7am cause you know what they say…miss a day, miss a lot!

Here's what's coming up on Tuesday, October 15, 2019 on Local 4 News Today
All Morning -- Frost Advisory
Brandon Roux: We have a Frost Advisory Tuesday morning for all of SE Lower Michigan and Southern Ontario with lows dipping into the mid 30s under clear skies and patchy frost is likely in Metro Detroit. This means any sensitive vegetation you have outside may not survive the night. We will see morning sunshine and that sun will help warm temps back into the 60s and a bit a breeze kicking up again SE 5-15 mph gusting 20-25 mph. Rain chances increase late in the day and most of it should hold off until dinner time and beyond. Some of the heavier rain and isolated thundershowers will move in after 8pm Tuesday and last through the early overnight hours.
