Let's get back to that bitter blast coverage first time of the year we're doing this or this season and it's rough and it's lasting too long, Scott. Yeah, but it's not going to last for that long. We're gonna be back towards the fifties as we go to the end of the week, but still bundle up. If you're heading outside, it's gonna feel like the twenties all day long. We're gonna be looking at this throughout the city going to feel like the twenties. But then as we go later on tonight, from sunset into the overnight towards Wednesday morning, yes, it's going to feel like the teen. So definitely bundle up, wear the scarves, the gloves and anything that keeps you nice, warm and toasty. Maybe even a cup of cocoa because it is brisk. It is biting wind. It is blustery, but it's still beautiful outside. Look at a gorgeous view over Coney Island this morning. 34 is what it is right now. But that wind out of the west 16 MPH makes it feel like the twenties and that's the way it's going to be all day long because we're not just seeing the cold air, not just seeing the wind we're seeing. Yes. The dread of that's where some snow flurries coming on in from the Great Lakes. But because of this dry air, it might not come down here in the city. We are going to be seeing that chance this afternoon. So definitely prepare for that. It's going to be beautiful. A few festive flakes. Nothing much though as we go into the afternoon, mainly between two and six is when we can expect that. Use the hashtag N 12 Storm watchers take a picture. Then things turning clear and cold as we head into Wednesday morning and gusty winds as well. 10 to 30 MPH. Tuesday, a little less breezy as go Tuesday and Wednesday, but still biting cold. So definitely prepare for that anchor down those holiday decorations if you haven't done so already, upper thirties to around 40 today, cold windy going to feel like the teens tonight. But then we are looking at cold weather Wednesday, then back to the fifties Friday with a chance of rain. That's your look at your hyper local forecast, Scott.

That's a good question. Here's meteorologist, Mike Wizo Thursday. How's that? So Thursday temperatures rebound sim and conditions across New Jersey just have to get colder between now and then. So for today, we'll notice that the, the air really sharply comes in tonight. So we start to feel like, what, 17 degrees in Sussex County later on this evening at 930. Uh, not too, uh, you know, it's, it's not the worst cold we've seen. Uh, but, you know, I, I want to say it's not too bad, but for some of us it's like, all right, this is annoying. This is cold, right? So just bundle up, think the air feels sharp. You want to bite back at it by wearing warm clothes. And that's the case for tomorrow morning, tomorrow morning. Feel like temperatures all across the state, not just the northwest corner now going to be between what, 12 or 13 degrees and about 17 degrees. That's a feel like temperature in the morning. So it just feels nasty tomorrow morning, especially the wind 15 to 25 MPH, maybe gusts near 30 at times. It does rebound a little bit by the afternoon, feeling closer to the freezing mark, but high temperatures don't get out of the thirties. It's just going to be again a cold day. There's only so many ways I can say it. So the winds coming in from the west 15 to 25 MPH gusts up to 30 as we head through today into tomorrow morning. And that's essentially it with the wind and the cold and how it settles in, we start to rebound as we turn into Thursday. So that's something to look forward to with high temperatures tomorrow. Similar to today. The only difference is that tomorrow's air is drier and we have a different type of air kind of settling in to the state. That's why we're going to feel a little sharper tomorrow when compared to where we're at today. Because today's temperatures are very similar to tomorrow's afternoon temperatures with a high of 3839 degrees. Here's Thursday's forecast. You'll notice that the rebound comes in with upper forties, 4950 degrees in parts of the state, upper forties in the northern tier. With those temperatures rebounding, we do end up with a sunny weather. So it actually is going to be rather nicer Thursday and that's it for the cold, at least for now. It's just one small shot of cold between today and tomorrow. Back to the fifties. We go for the weekend rain showers Friday night into early on Saturday. But the weekends mostly cloudy with sprinkles again on Sunday night.

I mean, as we enter into a weekend, they pick up, but that comes with some rain, unfortunately, but we see that our radar over the past six hours is showing some flurries really over across the area. But that is going to be continuing through today and tomorrow, really mostly northwestern New York and Pennsylvania are seeing the snow, but we can't rule out flurries throughout the day today as well as to tomorrow. We see it coming across and that comes with some bitterly cold temperatures across the area. And this is our, feels like versus our regular temperatures, regular temperatures on the left over here in our blue cold feels like temperatures. So what you need to know is these frigid temperatures continue. This is later in our evening tonight, around dinner time, we're seeing temperatures in the upper twenties and low thirties, but feeling like they're in the twenties, 22 in Newburgh and Poughkeepsie. And that is going to drop even more. As we head into our overnight hours, this is 1045 starting to get into the teens in some spots. Brewster seeing 17 and it's gonna be even colder for tomorrow. So you're gonna wanna keep that in mind for your commute tomorrow morning. This is 6 a.m. feeling like 16 out there. So definitely bundle up and be prepared if you're heading when you're heading out the door. And then by your afternoon, those temperatures still stay pretty cold with some wind gusts of around 20 miles an hour. And we can't rule out some accumulation really northwestern Ulster County, seeing between one and three inches, really not much and flurries passing throughout the rest of the day and we see some rain chances pick up for Friday. But with that, our temperatures are also on the rise thankfully and it's really a turnaround from today. Don't be fooled by this temperature. It's feeling like the twenties out there frigid and then a really big switch into Friday. Our temperatures jump up and some rain can return for your weekend. Let's take a look at your 10 day forecast. Now, we've got a frigid and cold Wednesday for you with some gust winds and temperatures are on the rise into the weekend with some chance for rain for your Friday and we're back to seasonable temperatures through next week.

Community camera in Norwalk and check in with meteorologist. Jonathan Cuban. John. Yeah, Becky. Listen, you're gonna need those big coats again as we certainly head into tonight. That's when we're gonna see this colder air set in, temperatures are gonna feel like we're in the twenties and teens. Certainly as you make your way out the door for your tomorrow and again, those gusts are really gonna add to that chill in the air. We're talking 15 or 30 mile per hour gusts even as you push forward into your tomorrow. Now, listen, dog walkers for your tomorrow. You do want to make sure the pets are set up nicely and covered as you make your way out the door. Now, listen, we're not worried about snow. Uh, but again, we really are gonna get into some very cold numbers, certainly for some spots up north where you're at. It could feel very well like 10 degrees at certain points tomorrow morning, getting the, your way through the rest of this afternoon. Those numbers tapping out into the mid to upper thirties, noticeably colder than where we were at yesterday. Here's a look at seven o'clock for your tomorrow. Morning, most of us are in the twenties. And again, we can feel like the teens when we see those gusts work its way through 33 for reading 35 for West, 36 for orange. That's at two o'clock for your tomorrow afternoon. And then we're chilly again for your Wednesday night. Thursday morning will be the last of it as it is gonna be a chilly start similar to what we dealt with this morning. But then we're gonna see those numbers oscillate back into the mid to upper forties. Closer to seasonal Friday looks pretty decent as well as far as those temperatures back into the fifties. But we do have some rain that we're gonna talk about, which could mess up plans for your late Friday. And when I return, I'll talk to you more about that in just a little bit Becky.

be Well: Simple things you can do to fight fall germs

Is the peak time for many viruses to make their mark. And as the cold weather approaches, it can suppress our immune system, making us more vulnerable to infections. So when it comes to colds and flus prevention is the best protection. So, Shannon off today, but pediatric airway surgeon, Doctor Susanna Hills is here with some helpful information to help us really stay healthy this fall. So, thanks so much for joining us. My pleasure. So first I want to start with, you know, how do we know the difference between? Is it the typical cold? Is it the flu? Is it something more dangerous? Yeah. So most kids will come into my clinic throughout the winter with runny nose, with sniffles, with a cough. Um and anything that is happening that seems kind of mild that there's not a fever above 100 and one kids are able to keep down liquids. Um or in general adults too if you're able to keep down liquids. Um then usually Tylenol Motrin hydration and waiting at home is fine. If you get to the point, we have a really high fever, you feel really short of breath, you can't keep down water or food. That's the time to seek help. Ok. And now I, I feel like last year there were so many uh people getting RSV, but now there's a vaccine, right? I'm so happy about this because in my specialty, as a pediatric airway surgeon, we dread the RSV season. Um we see every year how damaging it is to the upper respiratory tract. Super dangerous causes severe respiratory problems for infants and little kids. So we have a couple of options that are hopefully gonna make this season much easier for our most vulnerable kids. The infants, newborns, there's a vaccine and the way this works is pregnant moms get the vaccine at 37 to 38 weeks of pregnancy and it protects the newborn for the first six months of life or so. There's also a vaccine available for older folks above the age of 60. So I'm really happy about this because my dad is 93. I'm able to get him the vaccine this year. So that's great news. And then there's also another option that's not a vaccine but a monoclonal antibody, which is antibodies. We can give little kids um that help protect them and that's available for kids up to eight months. And then if kids are particularly susceptible to disease or have other risk factors, we can give it up to 18 months of age. So if one had a suppressed immune system, that might be something to have to make sure that they don't end up with that. That's right. Ok. So, while we're talking about vaccines, I don't know if this is wrong. So you can tell me, but I've always heard that it should be that you get your flu vaccines before you go trick or treating. Is that true? Well, it's a great idea to get your flu vaccine. Now, we're seeing case numbers of COVID, we're seeing case numbers of flu start to increase as we're getting into the viral season. And you want to give your immune system a chance to develop to the vaccine and get protection and yes, things like Halloween where there are large groups together, sharing candy, maybe touching food. If you're gonna get a vaccine and the CDC and most physicians are really encouraging it, go ahead and do that and do it. Yeah. Now is a great time to do it. Ok? And when we talk about the COVID vaccine, how is this year any different than, you know what we've gotten in the past or boosters and things like that? Right. So here's what we want everyone to understand if you've gotten a vaccine before or a booster before, if you've had COVID, your immunity still is probably waned. You probably don't have great protection from what is circulating now this season. Ok. The vaccine that we have for this year is specially developed to protect against the strains that are likely to be circulating. Now, Um So they're going to provide much better protection. It's developed against the XBB strain. What's circulating now is related to that. It's also expected to protect against Omicron and other variants we had before. So it provides really good broad protection and we're recommending that everybody six months and older, get it this year and thank you so much for being here. Yeah, you bet.
