In an effort to stop the spread, the FDA is signing
off on two new at-home COVID-19 tests.<br>


The Roche and Siemens
at-home tests are the first to gain authorization through the FDA's new
accelerated review program.<br>


That program is expected to
help bring tens of millions of new tests per month to the U.S.<br>


It comes after the
Department of Health and Human Services announced a $70 million investment to
produce more at-home tests.

But Matt, not so much on Sunday. Right. Oh, no, not, not on Sunday a place you want to be because we have that rain developing. We'll have some decent heavy downpours at times. Sunday evening, Sunday night, it could even be a few isolated ones before then. So a lot to track into the upcoming 5050 weekend. Let's head on over to the map and do just that tomorrow. Really nice day. Still, in my opinion, the pick of the week tomorrow, there's not going to be a ton of sunshine at times. There will be more clouds than sun, but temperatures get up into the fifties for a day. And yeah, Sunday will be even more, but that's kind of the, the warm surge that comes in with that southerly wind out ahead of that rain that's really coming in through the day on Sunday and temperatures end up near 60 kind of late in the day on Sunday and the wind will be picking up as well. So Sunday morning is ok. Overall, don't worry so much about the light shades of green you see here that really doesn't reach the ground. But during the afternoon there can be a few showers developing as early as the early afternoon hours. I'm not terribly concerned with that just yet. However, as we get into the evening hours after 7 to 8 o'clock in the evening, that's when the heavier rain starts to move in. And that's when the gust winds start to develop as well and that those winds will be on the order of around 30 to 40 MPH here across the lower Hudson Valley. Now overnight Sunday night into Monday, the worst of the rain starts to pivot off to our east. Yes, colder air is working in on the back side of the storm. A lot of times, computer models kind of overdue the winter weather aspect on the backside of a storm system like this. I think that that mix and snow will kind of dry out before it can impact the lower Hudson Valley. If anything at this point, I wouldn't rule out a few higher elevation snowflakes in orange Dutchess. Ulster County is mixing in. It wouldn't amount to anything on the ground though. But into the Monday morning commute, I expect improvements. There can be slippery spots. Still remember the wet leaves all over the place this time of the year. And the one thing you really need to make sure you're doing is securing those outdoor holiday decorations before we get to Sunday because look at these winds, we'll have some winds gusting again between 3040 MPH. There can even be a few isolated gusts briefly higher than that right at the Sound shore and Monday, the winds will come down but still breezy with those gusts around 20 to 25 MPH rainfall totals right now. 1 to 2 inches. I do want to mention though there are some indications that some of those rainfall totals could be a little bit higher. So we'll watch that into the weekend for you some mild worthy weather today. Dry weather overall, it's been a nice and seasonable feel all day temperatures getting back into the lower to middle thirties overnight and into early tomorrow tomorrow. A nice day before that storm comes in through about midday, Sunday and into early on Monday than the rest of next week at this point looks pretty good with a mix of sun and clouds and highs in the forties.
