HVFORECAST

Rules back to this bitter blast and hopefully not back to it for too much longer. Matt Hammer is here with details on your Wednesday. Yeah. No, through about mid-morning tomorrow and then a much improved weather into the afternoon tomorrow. I mean, today looks great. We have a lot of sunshine this morning giving way to more of a mix of sun and clouds during the afternoon hours today. In fact, at times more clouds and sun by the afternoon, but it's certainly a very cold feel, but you can get out and about and enjoy this as long as you are addressed appropriately and you have to dress for temperatures that are in the middle and upper twenties in terms of what they feel like outside the actual air temperatures on the left hand side of this map in the thirties tomorrow though, middle and upper forties for the air temperature, much better what to wear today. It's all about the winter gear, still, whatever you dressed in yesterday. And if you were comfortable in it, do it again, if you were not as warm feeling as you wanted to feel yesterday, add an extra layer today, middle thirties again, feel like the twenties. It's breezy. It's dry at times more clouds and sun this afternoon and this evening and later on tonight it's partly cloudy. It's dry. It is just one more really cold night with lows in the low twenties. I can feel like the upper teens to low twenties into tomorrow morning. Tomorrow's highs though much more seasonable. The normal average high this time of the year is right. It's 47. So it'll be close to that all throughout the Hudson Valley under a lot of sunshine tomorrow. And then Friday, you will need to plan on a wet second half of the day on Friday. No flooding expected no high rain totals here, but there will be some nuisance rain showers, no time on Friday and those will be on and off through about six or seven in the evening on Friday. Once we get past that Saturday, mostly cloudy upper forties, there can be a spotty shower or two but nothing major on Sunday. Better chance for a couple of rain showers Monday of next week. If anything, a stray shower next Tuesday and then back to dry weather Wednesday through Friday of next week with highs mostly in the forties.

There are thoughts about what can be done to possibly prevent an injury like this from happening to the young athletes in your life. So I spoke with Dr Dwayne Bryant, a cardiologist with Montefiore while it is rare it does happen.

But I do think that there are steps that people can take to to lower the risk that this could happen to their child.

So it does not completely excluded from happening. But you know what we think it does look at the risk. Then there's things he says you can do before your child steps on the field like nowhere on a. D. S. And equip yourself with how to do CpR both are crucial to have a quick response which is what Dr brian believes may have helped hamlin. There was medical personnel available as well as an A. D. And we're getting reports that he's actually waking up and responding neurologically and that's solely because of the fact that people responded very quickly. Small things to keep in mind That could make a big difference in West Nyack tank, Russo News 12.
