HVFORECAST

Tonight. A picturesque, wow, gorgeous view over the Hudson Valley with that sunset. But enjoy it while it last because tomorrow's gonna look pretty different with clouds and showers blocking that view Addison. Yeah, bring us the bad news attitude. Well, guys, it's gonna be a little bit of some split news right there because the good news is that the weekend is just around the corner. But the bad news, yes, we do have showers coming our way, but thankfully, it will not be a washout. Now for Friday we watch that rain shower activity come on in for the afternoon hour should be wrapping it up about 9 to 10 o'clock or so. We will be mainly dry for your day on Saturday. Another system passes us to the north, but a third system will come our way, bringing us some light rain going in throughout much of the day on Sunday, just on and off showers coming through. But breaking it down for you hour by hour through your day on Friday in White points, you can see 23 o'clock relatively dry then towards the evening commute time frame and into the dinner time hour. That's when the showers will be coming on in just on and off batches of light rain coming on down. But tomorrow is also the beginning of December. So let's go ahead and break down the monthly changes. We'll be seeing, we're gonna be going from an average high of 47 on the first to about 39 degrees. So getting a little bit colder, but the sun slowly, we're trying to set a little bit later in the day. And that is because we're going to be going in towards the winter solstice. Winter officially begins Thursday, December 21st in the evening hours. And then after that, we're going past the shortest time of the year. Well, shortest daylight time, I should say. Now thinking of December, you typically think of cold snowy conditions. That may not be quite the case. The temperature outlook for December shows us trending on the mild side more times than not. We're not talking sixties and seventies, but at least we're talking above average temperatures and you can see a large chunk of the country. We'll also be seeing a similar trend. Now heading out across the southern plains, we see showers out there. That is a system that's gonna be heading up in towards our vicinity. So towards Friday morning, we can see relatively fair skies Bruce. You're starting at around 38 Milltown, 41 around 915 clouds sticking on up towards lunchtime. Here comes the light rain coming down our way about 2 to 3 o'clock in the afternoon, widespread scattered showers between four to seven o'clock or so, wrapping on up between about 8 to 10 o'clock. And then once that system's out of here, the next one comes our way, sky showers will be around for your day on Sunday and unfortunately, through the evening hours as well, but going in towards Monday, the shower activity will start to fade very early on the day. So it just be partly cloudy and breezy high of 47. We'll be getting a little bit colder though for Tuesday and Wednesday and I think only topping out in the upper thirties for Hanukkah first night on Thurs.

Hudson Valley sounds off on potential strike-down of Roe v. Wade

10pmgordon53

begin with Jonathan. Gordon? Who's in the alert center with reaction to tonight's protest, Jonathan These protests have been happening all night across the region. I want to take a look. You know, you've got one here happening in Yonkers, you have another one fully square in Manhattan. You have another one happening at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. We've been covering all of them for you from the ground, of course, all the way up in the air and for those of you who are not protesting. Well, you have been weighing in on our social media and of course our blog which we've been following all night. We want to take a look at what's on your mind here. And joseph says absolutely it's indefensible as a matter of constitutional law. And he says that they will the issue return to the States and the voters and then you have Carolyn who came in and Caroline says absolutely not body autonomy is extremely important. Next they'll be forcing people to donate their organs And then Christopher weighing in no leave women's bodies alone. And of course Pete, it just simply returns the control of abortion to the States and their voters now pace University professor Emily Gold waldman who teaches constitutional law. It says that we should expect a final opinion opinion from the court by june. But she adds that the Supreme Court could go after more rights like gay rights and other intimate parts of people's lives. This decision is set up as abortion is different from all of those things and maybe they're going to stick with that. But it is potentially sort of opening the door to know what are these other things that previous Supreme Court decisions said were fundamental, but we don't think they're fundamental anymore. Coming up in the next half hour, we'll get another check of what lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are saying. Of course we have been following this poll for you on your screen. Do you believe Roe V wade should be overturned almost split right down the middle 49. Yes. 50. No one unsure. Of course, that QR code for you on the screen, you can scan it, still have an opportunity to weigh in before the night is up we want.
