HVFORECAST

Putting us all in the holiday season. That is a great event. Check it out if you can. You know, I learned something about your real Christmas trees this weekend too and I went out so they're all so different because one is stronger, like they have stronger branches, they're meant to hold your hardier ornaments. The other ones are more fragrant. So you have to really think about what do you want. There are a lot of variables just like the weather, just like the weather. There are a lot of is when you go out and pick your Christmas trees, everybody. So yeah, think long and hard about just not too, too long because you, your time is running out really as we go throughout the next couple of days, I want to just draw your attention to our most significant weather event that we're watching. And this could be for Sunday evening and Sunday night, this latest snapshot and don't take it verbatim just yet. This, the timing on this will change over the next few days. But around nine o'clock, Sunday, even some moderate to heavy rain, potentially temperatures well into the fifties and there can be some gusty winds with this. So I would start getting in the mindset of planning ahead for a wet second half of Sunday into Sunday night outside. Today. It's chilly and there are some passing snow flurries around, nothing too significant at all. But you can notice a few of those festive flakes as we go throughout the afternoon today and through about four or five o'clock. Otherwise just stress warmly daytime highs today, barely touching 40 degrees, mostly cloudy skies. Other than a few of those scattered flurries ahead of a colder night tonight with lows in the twenties into Thursday morning. So you might need the extra layer tomorrow morning. Tomorrow is a carbon copy of today. A few flurries near 40 warming up Friday and into the weekend. Saturday still the pick of the week before we get to that late rain and gusty conditions. Sunday evening and Sunday night before dry weather pushes in for next week.

Home Inspector Joe: Now is the time to clean gutters

With warmer weather here. Do you need to get your home ready? If so now is the time to do it is 12 photojournalist. Kurt Fisher has gutter cleaning tips coming from Westchester Zone home. Inspector Joe, if your gutters are clogged, the water is going to overflow, it's going to pour down your foundation wall and then what's your foundation? What's below? What's inside your foundation is your home? Get that water away. Trust me, there is nothing in my gutters. Honestly, this is, this is something that anybody can do. This is, this is all you're gonna get in my gutters. Just a little bit of debris from the trees that are right here. That's why you want to make sure that your trees are cut back from your house. If these trees were growing over these gutters would be jammed up. But I'm always, I come out here, I come out here a few times a year. I make sure these gutters are clear. You want to make sure they're clear if they're not clear, your drains are going to get clogged and like I said, it's going to go against your foundation. It's going to get inside your house and then you're going to be spending thousands and thousands of dollars for something that you could have done yourself. Or you paid a couple $100 to have somebody come over here and clean your gutters for you. Very important. Homeowner tip one oh one right here. Clean gutters everywhere. The weather's really cooperating for those of you looking to clean those gutters. I like how they got that last one. He said pollen. I think it, it, it was verbalizing pollen everywhere and I was like, yes, that's, yes. Yes. You know what he's talking about? They still have pollen everywhere. Oh, boy.
