HVFORECAST

We remain on storm watch as this storm bears down on the Hudson Valley in Westchester right now. Meteorologist Julian C Wright is here. So Julian, what's the timing for when all of this is really going to be a big impact for people? So the good news is, is that throughout the Hudson Valley Tama, it hasn't been a real big issue as of yet, but the problem is as we get closer towards the dinner time hour, we are looking for things to start to intensify for many of us. So getting straight into what we can expect fact again, mainly dinner time and afterwards is when we're looking for a bit more heavy rain and for the winds to start to increase where we could see between 30 to 40 MPH gusts and that'll be from tonight's going into our early Monday morning which could result in some power outages or for areas that have been into those over saturated grounds where we could see some trees that have been knocked over, especially older trees as well. Here's a look at what we got in terms of our flood watch. Now, the flood watch in effect is gonna stick around until we get into our Monday morning. How much rain we're gonna be expecting is mainly close to around two inches throughout much of the Hudson Valley. But we could see areas like Putnam and parts of Dutchess and even four parts of the Westchester areas. We could be pushing closer to that three inch mark, especially if you're closer over towards the sound. Overall though, we are looking for this to be again, a bit of a mess that will be sticking around for us by the time we get into the rest of overnight. So here's a look at what we have as of right now, this abundance of rain, a very vast storm system is continuing to push its way up across the east coast. Now, we have windy conditions that are mainly off to the east, but those winds will start to pick up more as we get into the rest of tonight. So as of right now, it's for them about the next hour or two, we are looking for a bit of some light breakage in that rain for parts of Orange County and even Putnam into the southern parts of Ulster count as well. So we could see once again, a little bit of that rain starting to dwindle out, especially over towards Westchester, but it has been consistent light rain as we're going into this evening. So just be prepared for that rain to start to pick up a bit more, but since we are on to the lighter end, we haven't seen a whole lot as of right now. But visibility and the rain itself that we've seen, especially over towards Tarrytown. We've had reports where visibility has been very, very poor from fog and from the rain that's been falling. So if you can definitely don't try to go outside if you don't need to. But as we get past dinner time, that's where we're looking for a bit more of that heavy rainfall from 7 to 9 o'clock is we're expecting to see that rain to really be heavy and continue throughout the rest of tonight. So if you could even hear that heavy rain going in from the overnight carrying into our early Monday and walking through the hour by hour, we're looking at five hour periods of potentially seeing that rain just be heavy for us, which is where we're gonna be seeing the most accumulation of rain from overnight into our early Monday morning. Now, the wind speeds again are going to be varying between 20 to 35 MPH, maybe even 48 MPH gusts for some areas. A quick look at how much rain we could be expecting. Again. Another two inches is possible. Some areas maybe even three. But once we're all set and done with this by Monday afternoon, it's mainly going to be breezy and also quiet. All right, Julian, thank you. For that update. We will check back in with you shortly and.
