HVFORECAST

Well, tonight, the Hudson Valley is bracing for rain as we head into the weekend. So what do people need to expect as we get those plans underway? Addison that Nikita, no matter where people go over the course of the weekend or even if they stay home, be prepared before the weekend is done to deal with this system coming in through the Hudson Valley area. So you may be having to deal with batches of rain and gusty winds coming on by maybe about 20 to 40 MPH if not higher than that. Talking about the second half of Sunday overnight and into early Monday, there may also be some flood concerns as well where most recently we did see from the National Weather service, a flood watch up effect all across the Hudson Valley. Maybe seeing on average about 1 to 2, maybe all close to three inches of rain coming on in as you move on in from Sunday into Monday right there where some of those high rainfall totals 3.3 is possible in Newburgh. But I think most locations will trend under 32 to 3 inches or so in that range, but bottom line is, it's still gonna be wet. It's gonna be windy out there. So it's breaking towards that forecast as we go on in past Saturday into Sunday. Saturday is the pick of the week. It's gonna be gorgeous. Get outside and enjoy perhaps strap down some of those holiday lights. Now, Sunday morning, 7 a.m. we have temperatures in white plains. Around 48 degrees gusts are slowly starting to pick up out of a south westerly direction. 10 to 15 MPH. Sky showers start moving in closer towards the lunchtime hours as the temperatures move up towards the mid FF we'll be seeing gusts maybe 10 to 15, close to 20 MPH over through the rest of the day. It's on and off batches of moderate, possibly even heavy rain coming on in as it's continue to get warmer. Upper fifties, close to 60 degrees. Gusts are increasing 10 to 20 plus MPH, but they'll continue to go upward as we move on through the evening hours as well. 61 degrees is possible in White Plains. If we hit that, that would tie a record high over across in Brewster may be seeing a brief downpour coming on in from a possible isolated embedded thunderstorm in this line right there, slowly coming up from the southwest heading up towards the northeast direction, going past 7 to 8 o'clock hour, close to midnight. Still very mild, very muggy out there. We got winds gusting still 20 to 30 plus MPH and the cold for itself is approaching overnight. Look at the temperatures they drop from around 60 to around 40 degrees. As we're watching that cold air starting to push on in the winds have switched direction from the southwest to a northerly direction and we're starting to draw in that drier, colder air. So I'm not too concerned with a changeover coming on in for everybody to a little wintry mix of snow. But it's possible, especially in the Catskills in the higher elevations past Sunday into Monday morning, we watch drier conditions move on in throughout much of next week. Overnight temperatures in the twenties and the thirties, patchy fog will be possible in a few spots. Let's briefly look at that visibility forecast going on in towards Saturday morning. A few locations will have that visibly starting to go down as more moisture is pushed up this way, temperatures on the rise as well heading in towards that storm's arrival, Sunday afternoon.

Highland MS science teacher gets rare chance to introduce President Biden at Westchester Community College

Privilege to introduce to you our president of the United States of America. On Joe Biden, a local teacher from Westchester County just had an experience. He will never forget. Highlands middle school science teacher. Brian Sullivan was chosen to introduce President Joe Biden at Westchester Community College. Earlier this week, Brian is joining us this morning, Brian, you got to take us back to that moment when you first found out that this was going to be your job. Uh It, it was disbelief. Um I wasn't even actually aware that the president was coming. Um I had done a small interview with the White House on Saturday. Um And I was just under the impression that that was just going to be used by their media outlet. And then um on Monday night, late on Monday night, uh I was notified that they had considered me for this honor and uh it was shocking to say the least. Yeah, not a lot of lead time to prepare for this. So how did you do it? Uh My my administrators, my colleagues were tremendously supportive. Um I had a, a couple of classes covered on Tuesday afternoon, so I could get the speech writing. Um, my Union President Carolines was tremendously helpful in that regard. He sat down with me and, uh, we wrote my remarks and, uh, submitted them to the White House. But yes, it was a pretty rapid fire. All right. So, as a team effort there, did you get a chance to shake hands with the president off camera? Did you, did you ask him anything? Get one on one time? Yeah. Yes. Uh Before, uh before we went on stage, uh the president was backstage and uh he, he took a couple of moments with me, which was very kind. Um He just, just thanked me for uh doing it. I, I thanked him for the honor and uh we watched the uh dignitaries before us speak together, uh which was in and of itself a surreal experience just standing shoulder to shoulder with the president watching A TV was uh was surreal. Yeah. Well, this morning you're gonna be standing shoulder to shoulder with your students. I can imagine that they had a lot of questions, talk to us about their reaction to what happened. Uh That, that, that was honestly the best part. Um I had heard from my colleagues uh right after I got off stage that they were playing it in all the classrooms, which was, that was also a, a great honor um to know that, that I had that support back here at the, at the building. Um uh, when I came back, the kids, uh overwhelmingly just wanted to know what the President was like. Uh, they had a lot of questions about him, about his handshake, about what he asked me. Um, they, they just, and they had a lot of questions about secret service as well. They were very, very interested in the President's security detail. Um, but it, it was so nice and, uh, uh, a lot of students, even students are not mine, um, asked to shake the hand that shook the President's hand and they were a little upset when they found out that I had washed my hands as I, I guess kids that age are now, you're a local celebrity, Brian. We do appreciate you joining us this morning, uh, and we'll talk to you soon. Thank you so much.
