HVFORECAST

We are on storm watch on this Friday for what's coming on Sunday. Matt fill us in. Yeah. So we have some moderate to heavy rain and strong gusty winds still slated for Sunday. The worst, still Sunday evening and it's very early on Monday. So it's a 5050 weekend coming up again. 53 tomorrow is the pick of the week, clouds and breaks of sun, but then Sunday will start off dry in the morning. But rains developing throughout the day, the wind is ramping up and we'll have those gusts exceeding 30 to 40 MPH into the evening and overnight on Sunday. So here's the futurecast. The lighter shades of here really won't be reaching the ground. The timing that I want you to pay attention to is after three o'clock Sunday afternoon. That's when the first showers break out, but it's still kind of just nuisance weather at that point. The higher impact weather, the worst of this storm will be after eight or nine o'clock Sunday evening. That's when the heaviest rain will be around. That's when the chance for ponding will exist into the early part of Monday morning during those overnight hours as that heavy rain comes down for a few hours. Now, colder air will work on the backside of this storm. I'm not too concerned about winter mix and snow, but there can be a few wet snow flakes and higher elevations of Orange Duchess in Ulster County says this kind of rapidly pushes away from us into early on Monday. By the Monday morning, commute, still going to be a little bit gusty outside, still wet and we have the wet leaves around this time of the year. So there can be some slippery conditions from that early on Monday. Here you can see a snapshot of some of those wind gusts Sunday evening around that 40 mile per hour range at times and rainfall totals 1 to 2 inches on average across the Hudson Valley at this point. Some of those finer details will get adjusted over the next couple of days. So make sure you're checking back with us frequently for those important updates. A mix of sun and clouds today. A nice Friday overall smile worthy weather for sure. Highs finally more seasonable in the mid forties overnight tonight, partly cloudy chilly have the heavy cold lows in the thirties tomorrow. Again, a nice day, Sunday showers developing in the afternoon, heavier rain and gustier winds Sunday evening into early on Monday, Monday afternoon, dry breaks of sunshine still breezy. Then the rest of next week looks good with a mix of sun and clouds and high, staying in the forties through next weekend.
