HVFORECAST

First weekend of December. But hey, it feels like November still. We have mild air in place. Unfortunately, this is gonna keep fog around for the first half of the morning, especially for Westchester Rockland, maybe Putnam County getting in on widespread fog for the rest of the morning too. So basically the lower Hudson Valley has the best risk for that temperatures warm up pretty quickly. We're talking near 50 by the time you hit lunch and we could, in places like Yonkers and S A 287 hits 60 degrees what in December? But again, it does come with a lot of cloud cover. So it's not a beautiful looking day. There'll be some peaks of sun this afternoon today though. Really isn't a big issue. If you have afternoon plans. The fog is a slight problem for morning plans tonight. We do have rain mostly after midnight. So if you're a late night owl, you're getting in on that Sunday morning, it's a wash right from the start. Mostly white rain, but there will be pockets of heavy rain throughout the morning and the afternoon on Sunday. I really don't see much dry time if any during the daylight on Sunday it goes soup weather, it goes gloomy and, you know, it's not cold but it's gonna feel cold when you have that kind of rain just so widespread across the area. Monday morning commute. Not that we want to talk about the commute on a Saturday morning, but either way Monday morning does look good if you're planning it. Ok. How about rain again? Not much if any today. But tomorrow I am expecting half of an inch to an inch of rain across the Hudson Valley. So that's pretty decent. But it happens over the course of the whole day, 100% guarantee it does rain. But again, we're not expecting this to be a really heavy rain. It's just a persistent steady rain all day. Temperatures drop into the forties for the upcoming week.

24th annual Polar Plunge held in Stony Point 

The 24th Annual Polar plunge in stony point, New swell Photojournalist Gerald Nugent was there and gives us a look at the sights and sounds, We're out here today for our 24th annual Polar plunge. We've been doing this for 24 years now and every year we pick sick kids in the community, so we're just keeping the tradition going. We raise money in multiple ways. Hot chocolate, who needs it, Step right up, Got hot chocolate, come on, kids, we sell shirts, we sell raffle tickets, People just come down and they'll plunge to go into the water. So we're very blessed with the community and the efforts that they put forward this year is we've got a liam from Stoney Point in Santiago from months in new york. We both need help for, for a good portion of our lives. So it's, it's, we're happy to help them out. There's a lot of things that as a family would love to do for liam and this opportunity is going to allow us to do so. And like I said, we're beyond grateful, we're going in this water and we're gonna love it and we're here to support everybody. It's amazing. It's wonderful to see everybody coming out on a cold day to run into the river to raise money for Children who are in need. It's mind over matter, you're going to be cold for around five or 10 minutes. These kids are gonna be sick the rest of your life. So you put that in perspective and you get over the cold factor pretty quickly when you come down here today, you're gonna meet 1000 of your best friends that you never met before. This is what the world needs, everybody coming together and everybody being happy. It means the world to us. This is a day we'll never forget.
