And speaking of ice is expected to get colder out there. Meteorologist Michelle Powers joins us now and we are on storm watch. Michelle, what can you tell us? Well, we have a lot more rain before the morning comes and roads are going to be wet. It's going to be sloppy as we start the day. But temperatures are above freezing, we're going to watch them fall throughout the day and heading into Tuesday, any standing water that is left over that could become icy. So plan ahead. Now there could be some minor slowdowns on the roads and as for snow don't get your hopes up. There's a chance as you go up in elevation and throughout parts of the Poconos, that's where really most of this will fall. So the colder air rushes in temperatures are really going to drop as we head into Tuesday morning, we're near freezing. The next couple of mornings will be much colder daytime, highs in the forties and no rain in sight until next weekend.

Welcome back to News 12 of the Bronx for local matters. I'm Phil Tate. We are on Storm March tonight. We have Storm March team, meteorologist Ho oa Hope. I mean, this second wave of wet weather is really kicking up, but tell us how is this going to really be impacting our morning commute? Yeah, you know, you know, the rain is going to continue into the morning commute. So this is just something that we have to deal with and just prepare for and we're not just dealing with the rain. We're also dealing with a strong two damaging winds, 40 to 50 MPH and that can cause some power outages across portions of our area. Crashing. Temperatures will be in the sixties at midnight, crashing to the forties by Monday morning. And then we have some travel troubles, especially for your morning commute, standing water and any wind damage can reduce visibility and also just cause some hazardous conditions on area roadways. So let's have it out on your future cast overnight. We're still dealing with the periods heavy rain and some strong gusts 3545 MPH and even through four or five o'clock in the morning, temperatures will be in the mid forties and we're dealing with that steady rainfall, maybe even a few isolated downpours to at least 7 a.m. Eight AM. The rain is lighter and then we're seeing some clearing skies by the afternoon, 1212 30. But temperatures will be in the mid forties. The winds will be persistent throughout the day. That is gonna feel like temperatures to be in the mid to upper 30. So that's a real shock in the system, especially coming off of a 60 degree day. So Monday night into your Tuesday morning, it is expected to feel like the twenties because of those winds. So back to our winds, the winds will be out of the northwest. So now it's bringing in that cooler pocket of air 5 a.m. 2325 MPH and we're seeing it in that ballpark for the majority of the day, even reaching near 30 at times and that is going to take us into your two morning. So this is what you need to prepare for for Tuesday morning. Again, temperatures will be in the twenties to start feeling like the mid to upper thirties during the afternoon. But on the plus side, at least it's dry. We're not dealing with any wet weather for the next several days. So that's something that we can finally look forward to. So the storm watch continues for the first half of your morning commute, drying out by the afternoon, temperatures will be in the mid forties feeling like the thirties even colder by Tuesday. Let's just get through this together.

HVFORECAST

We are of course on storm watch for this storm right now bearing down on Westchester and the Hudson Valley meteorologist Julian C Wright is here. So Julian, a lot of people that we heard from in Emily's story concern about their Monday morning commute. Absolutely. And they should be because we are going to be expecting this rain just to continue to be heavy throughout the next several hours. But even though a weekend, we are still going to be dealing with rain by the time we wake up for tomorrow morning as well, which is going to continue that flood issue for us. We're getting into what we have for our flood advisor. Just a reminder this watch is going to be in effect. We don't have a flood advisory, but we have a flood watch in effect until we get into about 1 p.m. for our Monday. Until then we're gonna be dealing with periods of heavy rainfall, consistent rain as well. But behind the rain, we're also gonna be monitoring those winds as of right now. Just a few areas have been hitting into gusting winds that are really clocking into the 30 to about 37 MPH range as for Poughkeepsie and over towards White Plains, but we are still seeing many areas towards the eastern side after getting hit with those stronger winds as we continue throughout the overnight. So a quick look at just exactly what we're gonna be expecting from tonight into our Monday morning. We're gonna be looking at street flooding to be possible because of the heavy rainfall and those high rainfall rates per hour, which could be between a half to three quarters of an inch of rainfall, which again could be leading to flooding for many of us. 1 to 2 inches of rain is gonna be likely for us across the lower Hudson Valley. But then again, behind it is going to be the windy conditions, isolated. Power outages are going to be possible as gusts can be from 30 to 40 MPH and we could see potentially some old trees being down because of those strong winds. So here's what we got going on for our radars right now, still monitoring some heavier downpours, especially across much of Dutchess in Ulster County and even for Putnam and going into Rockland, Westchester and even for Orange County. So pretty much everywhere is starting to see a bit of that heavier rainfall, which we're starting to see those totals even picking up a bit more as well, especially towards southern parts of Orange County, almost an inch and a half of rainfall. So really over the last two hours, we've almost seen a little bit more than the half of an inch of rain that has fallen for us. And just about two hours it goes to show you just how hard or heavy that rain has been over the last while. But again, once we get into the rest of tonight's, we're looking for our heaviest band of rain to be within the next couple of hours past midnight, the rain will start to phase out but some periods of heavy rain mainly to the east is gonna be possible right behind it. I'm gonna be seeing a cold front. That's right on your screen. We will be seeing a bit of a wintry mix, potentially even some snow flakes for some areas, especially north of Westchester and for Rockland counties. Now, it's not looking to accumulate much in terms of snow, but rain accumulations could still be about an inch close to two inches. Once everything's all said and done in regards to wind speeds, it's not just tonight, but heading into Monday afternoon, we're still gonna be dealing with some gusty winds and breezy conditions throughout our Monday. So it's not gonna fully improve, but at least it's not gonna be heavy rainfall for our Monday afternoon. Once we're done with Monday, smooth sailing with cold and sunny conditions.

Long Island

LIFORECAST

A quick update on our storm issues across Long Island. So this is what's happening as of right now. We're still dealing with that system that's been bringing an abundance of rain and now it is the winds that is going to be the double whammy or even the second issue for us as we continue throughout the rest of our Sunday nights into our Monday morning. Now, a lot of that heavy rainfall has been moving quickly, but now it's impacting much more of Suffolk County over towards Port Jefferson and over towards Islip and our Twin Forks areas as well. We are still potentially gonna be looking at more rounds of heavy rainfall to be impacting Nassau County in the western end of Suffolk County as we get into the rest of tonight. So again, just make sure that you, if you are gonna be out for tonight or even heading into tomorrow morning, you're planning ahead because things are gonna get a bit not only wet but still gonna be a bit messy as we start off our Monday morning. So make sure you plan ahead and leave a bit early if you need to. Now for western side of Suffolk County and for Nassau County, we do have a flooded are in effect until we get into just a few minutes past midnight for us, for tonight. But if we continue to see the heavy rainfall, we could see that extended as a possibility. So it's one thing where we are going to be monitoring here at the storm watch news, 12 weather team. But until then, here's also what we're looking at as of right now. So wind speeds are really starting to pick up, especially along the South shore, near 40 MPH wind gusts as of right now. And then the rain again, we're gonna be looking at another potential round of heavy rainfall for the next several hours going into our early Monday morning, not until about close to sunrise when we start to see that rain really lose its intensity and just become light rainfall going into our Monday morning. So once we're heading out, it's still gonna be a bit of the wet side for us, but still be mindful of wet roads, flooded areas as well because even for earlier, for today, as if you were going to be traveling on the lie, it's still gonna be a bit of a mess because we're not gonna be looking at this rain to really end for us until we toward late Monday morning and early afternoon. But right behind it, we're still gonna be dealing with some windy conditions. So overnight, we could be seeing again wind speeds, clocking from 42 near 60 MPH for some areas, mainly along the South shore, the northern shore areas. We are gonna be seeing the winds not being as strong, but still could be a bit of an issue, especially as we get into our Monday afternoon where we are anticipating a once again windy day for our Monday. So taking a look at how much rain we could be seeing from the rest of this event. Nassau County. Not as much unless it's closer towards the Suffolk County area, uh, near Hicksville, which would be close to about two inches. But overall, we could still see three inches of rainfall for some areas as well. A quick look at our 10 day forecast. Once we're done with our storm watch for Monday morning, we're looking at smooth sailing for the next couple of days.

And we're taking another look at the forecast. Morning, temperatures are going to be warm, but temps will fall throughout the day and there's still rain out there for that morning commute. So there could be a couple of issues on the roads plan accordingly. Travel could be a little disrupted by that rain. Now, there will be some snow falling mainly north, but that's going to be very brief and it doesn't look like we'll see much of an accumulation, but either way it's going to be damp out for the morning commute, the afternoon will be and colder. So make sure you have something waterproof for the morning, grab a rain jacket, don't wear the good shoes tomorrow, it's going to be very wet out, but later it up underneath because temperatures will be colder. S ra are still looking pretty messy across the area. And like I mentioned in terms of snow, there's not going to be very much but just parts of northern Litchfield County and as you go up in elevation, so this upcoming week as a whole is going to be a lot drier than what we're seeing right now. And those temperatures are in the forties.

be Well: What to eat to reduce your cancer risk

Healthy lifestyle choices are linked to a lower risk of different types of cancer. So here to break down what we need to know is Wellness coach Corey Rodriguez. So I know, you know, you spend a lot of time with your social media followers, all the millions of them to let them know. Hey, listen, this is the best thing that you can do. And unfortunately, for so many people cutting out the alcohol is one of those things. If you want to make your chances as lowest as possible when it comes to cancer, then the less alcohol you drink, the better off you are. Now, is there a better particular wine like a better wine or not really? Not really for cancer prevention? Like it's the alcohol that again, if you can cut that out or minimize it, you're going to put yourself in a better position, right? Because I know there was like a meta study and they took a look at all the different data and it really just came out that alcohol is really no good. Even the benefits in wine are outweighed by the amount you'd have to drink to get those benefits So it's kind of a and really having that healthy life style in general overall is one of those things that can really make a difference. Oh, yeah, you reduce all types of cancer risk by having a good lifestyle and good eating habits. Ok. So let's take a look here. These are all veggies. So these are all green sulfur rich and these are great because they help your body to get rid of excess estrogen, which is also linked to an increased risk of breast cancer. Ok. So what, what is the difference between the different things that we have here? So these are all from one family but the broccoli sprouts are so great because they're high in sulfurophane. And that is the most tested compound in food right now for cancer prevention. Really? So are these are these like the microgreens? Yes, microgreens sprouts, same kind of thing. But those are great that you can add on to a salad, put it in your sandwich any way that you can get them in? They're gonna be helpful. OK. And now what about these different types? So this is eating the rainbow, this is getting in as many colors as possible. You have, you have orange, you have red, green blues, they all contain different antioxidants and those antioxidants are going to, to mop up the free radicals in your body that are going to cause some damage to your DNA. And that's also linked to cancer So these are the kind of really like snacks or add ons that I want. So what, what's the benefit of a raspberry? So the raspberry, the red, they all have Lycopen in them like the tomato. So that's gonna be great. There's actually a study that shows that lycopen helps decrease your chance for breast cancer as well. Oh, wow. And now what about the blueberry cines from any type of blue fruit? Like blueberries? Ok. And now the peppers, does it matter like the red different than the orange? Yes, the orange also has something different that has a few other Katos that are also helpful and that's an antioxidant as well. So they all have something different. So a mix of different colors is going to be every single day, every single week is going to be helpful and of course, the orange and having it as the whole orange and not drinking the orange juice if you can always go for the whole fruit form or the whole vegetable form first.
