Studio. Thank you so much, Lisa. Looking at her today, you can see you're still going to need to dress appropriately. It's not like it's warm out there. She's not chattering. She's not shivering. We're getting better. Yeah. Yeah, we're getting better. It's, this morning is quite cold. I mean, we're around the twenties right now, but it's as we go throughout the mid morning into the afternoon, that's when you really will notice the difference today. It's still dark and early until we get a little bit closer to seven o'clock this morning. You'll see a lot of sunshine around today. It's going to be a nice bright day all throughout the lower Hudson Valley. These morning temperatures at best are around 30 to 34 in White Plains south into Yonkers right now. Elsewhere in the twenties, thankfully, the wind is very light, so not too much of a wind chill factor right now, but it is a cold start to the day. So you do want the heavy coat, the gloves that had all of that for the early hours this morning winds will stay light the entire day. Now, as we go through the morning hours temperatures will rise through the thirties will hit the 40 degree mark just before noon time today and we'll be in the middle and upper forties for those afternoon highs and that's going to be pretty seasonable for this time of the year. Normal average high right around 47 will be close to that. If not a degree or two below it, expect a few high clouds to build in this evening. It'll be dry but partly cloudy through the overnight overnight temperatures in the thirties to near 40 then tomorrow is going to be a nice start to our Friday, but there will be some scattered rain showers approaching for the afternoon. This is not a major storm. Rainfall totals continue to trend lighter and we're looking at rainfall totals under a quarter of an inch. With this just some spotty light rain showers tomorrow afternoon through about six o'clock tomorrow evening and then dry weather will push right back in overall into the start of the upcoming weekend. So in terms of what to wear today, you want to dress warmly early on during the afternoon. You really don't need the gloves, the hat and layers, but you certainly want the jacket with temperatures in the middle and upper forties. There still will be a slight chill around with that, but a gorgeous looking with a lot of sun as well by this evening and later on tonight, partly cloudy lows mostly in the thirties ahead of a day tomorrow where temperatures even creep a little bit closer to 50 with just a few spotty showers during the afternoon and through about six o'clock tomorrow evening. So nothing major and certainly no flooding, nothing like that tomorrow, mostly cloudy on Saturday. If anything, a touch of drizzle, but most of the day looks ok, better chance for a few showers on Sunday. Most of next week will be dry but turning colder with highs in the forties again. Starting Tuesday.

paradecarol52922lisl2

Hastings on Hudson this afternoon for the annual Memorial Day parade. And that is where we find new spells, carol wilkinson. She brings us all of the sights and sounds of this special event. Now of course memorial Day parades are always fun, but we must never forget the sacrifices made by the sailors, soldiers, marines and airmen who sacrificed everything for our freedom With more than 50 years of pride under its belt. The annual memorial day parade taking center stage in Hastings on Hudson. We've been coming here over 50 years every year and we started because our boys were boy scouts and we just decided it was a wonderful thing to do for many. It's about the sights and sounds of a decades old tradition as organizations around the Hudson Valley take part. I like coming because it's really fun and sometimes I run into a lot of my friends and I'm especially excited for the horse drawn carriage, but for others it's about honoring the military and those who proudly served a grateful nation. Well, my father is a veteran and my grandfather was a highly decorated World War One veteran. So even though I come from maybe a little more or less military tradition, there's a real strong appreciation for veterans. I'd like to see the military contingents and one year general was the speaker and they had sharpshooters up on the roofs that was a little dramatic and the speakers are on the podium right now speaking to the crowd, a lot of dignitaries and political figures here and there is something of course for everyone. Classic cars, marching bands. But there's also the sense of honor and respect being paid here to those who gave their lives in service to our country in Hastings, carol wilkinson, new swell.
