HVFORECAST

And maybe you just have some hopes for this week specifically in the weather world that it's drier, maybe a bit warmer. Will any of those hopes come through? My wish they would just be to skip right to spring and into summer. We can't do that though. But yes, you know what? It's not a bad week to, we just have a couple of chillier days by midweek, but overall not looking bad at all. As we continue into this month of December, it's still dark and early outside right now, sunrise a few minutes after seven o'clock this morning. So still got a little less than two hours before that sky really starts to brighten up and there will be some breaks of sun early on. Temperatures are actually fine this time of day for this time of the year. 51 in Yonkers to 39 at West Point in Newburgh, 37 in Middletown. So it's a little bit more chilly in orange. Putnam Duchess in Ulster counties right now, live to the radar comple completely quiet right now after a bit of a soggy day yesterday. Now there are some showers around to our north and West can't completely rule out a Sprinkle in spots through the day today, but most of the day is fine. What we'll notice are more breaks of sun this morning and then clouds will be on the increase into the afternoon. Temperatures will top out close to around 50 or so. You can see a few sprinkles popping up. If anything, especially north of 84 there is a slight chance for a spotty Sprinkle, but most of the day will be fine this evening. And overnight tonight, clearing out for a time after midnight and then we'll do this all over again where we start off with sunshine tomorrow morning, we have more clouds increasing into tomorrow afternoon, but tomorrow will be another dry day. So in terms of what to wear today, have the jacket early this morning, the afternoon, still cool, but near 50 degrees. Actually, a couple of degrees above average for this time of the year and have the sunglasses for the start of the day. You really don't need them by the afternoon with mostly cloudy skies partial clearing overnight tonight, eventually partly cloudy. After midnight, it will be a cold feel mid thirties, but a little bit of a breeze still lingers out of the west northwest. That's a colder wind so it can feel like the upper twenties to about 30 or so into early tomorrow morning. Tomorrow's highs will be chillier, lower forties, increasing clouds after early morning sun near 40 for Wednesday and Thursday as well. By Friday, temperatures come up a bit upper forties and low fifties into the weekend. Saturday, the drier half of the weekend, we could again be looking at a situation where Sunday is a little bit wet and then right back to dry weather with highs in the upper forties for next Monday through Wednesday.
