HVFORECAST

Day, we see the lights blinking there on the bridge. Is this gonna stick around? Yeah, unfortunately, we are looking for the foggy and cloudiness to stick around at least until we get to the early parts of tonight. But the good news is the rain in itself, folks is going to start to dissipate as we get closer towards the dinner time hours. So this is what we got going on for us on our surface man picking up where we left off again, the low pressure system which has just been funneling plenty of shower activity throughout the course of the day. Luckily, this our activity in itself though has been mainly light. And now as we get into the rest of this evening, we are looking for that rain to start to pretty much clear up. But towards Yonkers in areas like Westchester and Rockland County, some spots could see some isolated showers and even parts of the northern areas of Ulster and Duchess County. Again, you might see a couple of straight showers, but you're not necessarily gonna need that umbrella or Reindeer getting into the rest of this evening if you're going to be out Now, we've seen close to about three quarters of an inch of rainfall for parts of Westchester County. But many of us saw less than about a half of an inch from this latest event. Now, once the rain is done though, once we get to tonight, we are expecting fog to take over once again, which is gonna be lowering visibility heading into our Monday. So just be mindful that we are looking for areas of fog to start off for Monday. But until then we are looking at cloudy for the rest of this evening and steady temperatures into the forties over towards the uh New Rochelle area. So looking at our future cast, what we got again going into tonight's might see a couple of stray showers, northern parts of parts of Ulster County might even get a bit of some heavier rainfall. But again, once we get closer to around 10 o'clock, things are looking to dry out for us heading into Monday, we are looking for more sunshine. Some clouds will build once we get into our Monday afternoon as temperatures will be near 50 degrees as we roll into around three o'clock. Otherwise not expecting a whole lot more in terms of rain, but be prepared for breezy and mild for Monday. But the forties will return once again a bit on a chillier end from Tuesday into much of next week, near 40 in the upper thirties. By the time we get to Hanukkah and then we will warm back up next weekend. All right, Julian, thank you for that weather.
