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.
