And speaking of the weather getting colder. One of those days, Addison, where I think, you know, the moms out there say put your coat on so you don't catch the cold. Right? Moms always know. Right. They always know when the kids are always like, I'll be fine. Beauty, overpaid beauty. Where's that scarf? Where's that glove? I gave you. It's fine. I forgot it. Whoops. Well, with these temperatures, Addison, I think they'll have to listen to their moms. Yeah, definitely. So, especially for those morning hours. If you feel like these kids may be wanting to like toss up a year or two in the afternoon. I was just feeling better. The sun is shining but still that temperature trend is running cooler than average. You don't wanna get sick out there. So don't forget the jacket scarf and hat before you step out the door. Midweek, we continue to stay cold but thankfully less wind coming around. So it does make you feel a little bit better over time. But then we head into Friday and going towards the weekend watching those rain chances on the rise. Cameras still shaking a little bit right here. Looking across, of course, towards the Como Bridge where during this hour we're sitting at 30 degrees. Feels like 21. The winds have backed down from about 20 plus prior to around 10. But nonetheless, it's that feel like temperature. We're all across the board. We're feeling subfreezing to feel about 19 degrees in New Bern and 25 degrees in the Kingston area. So, moving forward throughout the overnight hour time frame, you'll watch these temperatures cool down to the upper twenties. All the while those skies are clearing out winds continue to back down over time. But we're watching this cold Canadian air surge on down from the north, pushing on in past the cold from the pass by earlier on today, that did allow some light snow showers to come. I'm on in from the Great Lakes and thankfully though didn't really make it past the Catskills, but we did see a few areas like Westchester County seeing a few flurries flying around. So towards tomorrow morning, we got 60 degrees for a feel like temperature in Newburgh, 20 in New City, you'll watch those numbers move up in the afternoon hours, but you'll notice everyone's still feeling very frigid. No one's making out of the mid to upper twenties for feel like temperatures from Thursday morning, we can see those temperatures getting a little bit better and then by the afternoon hours still building on a slow surplus of warmth trying to come up there wet now going in past Thursday into Friday, we have an air flow pressure pushing in towards the region. It's gonna be giving us rain shower changes. There is some pink out there in the cats heels, but I think it's few and far between. We see any actual mix coming on in just rain coming on down as those temperatures continue to move up above average high. So we're noticing that our temperatures are feeling a little bit better out there heading in towards the weekend and then you move on in past Sunday to Monday. We do see those numbers unfortunately cooling down as we head into the first night of Hanukkah next Thursday.
