First weekend of December. But hey, it feels like November still. We have mild air in place. Unfortunately, this is gonna keep fog around for the first half of the morning, especially for Westchester Rockland, maybe Putnam County getting in on widespread fog for the rest of the morning too. So basically the lower Hudson Valley has the best risk for that temperatures warm up pretty quickly. We're talking near 50 by the time you hit lunch and we could, in places like Yonkers and S A 287 hits 60 degrees what in December? But again, it does come with a lot of cloud cover. So it's not a beautiful looking day. There'll be some peaks of sun this afternoon today though. Really isn't a big issue. If you have afternoon plans. The fog is a slight problem for morning plans tonight. We do have rain mostly after midnight. So if you're a late night owl, you're getting in on that Sunday morning, it's a wash right from the start. Mostly white rain, but there will be pockets of heavy rain throughout the morning and the afternoon on Sunday. I really don't see much dry time if any during the daylight on Sunday it goes soup weather, it goes gloomy and, you know, it's not cold but it's gonna feel cold when you have that kind of rain just so widespread across the area. Monday morning commute. Not that we want to talk about the commute on a Saturday morning, but either way Monday morning does look good if you're planning it. Ok. How about rain again? Not much if any today. But tomorrow I am expecting half of an inch to an inch of rain across the Hudson Valley. So that's pretty decent. But it happens over the course of the whole day, 100% guarantee it does rain. But again, we're not expecting this to be a really heavy rain. It's just a persistent steady rain all day. Temperatures drop into the forties for the upcoming week.

and through May we're experiencing more spring like weather which is of course bringing allergy season along with it. Yeah, but are those sniffles? Just the spring allergies? Or could it be Covid News Twelve's. Angelica Torino is speaking to medical specialists who break it all down. Is it covid 19 or is it spring allergies? Sometimes though it's really hard to be able to distinguish between the two. According to Dr Surber. He says spring allergies tend to hit harder because there are two type of allergy seasons that overlap with one another. Marches the tree pollen season where the trees spoil it and they released their sports that cause allergies. That goes generally until about mid june and then spring grass season starts right around mid May and then goes sometimes to the first or second week in july. So it may be easy to write off covid symptoms as allergies. Both can present with similar symptoms. Both can present the nasal congestion. Both can present with, you know, with similar upper respiratory complaints. But covid also tends to have other additional symptoms as well. There's fever, there is body aches that is not just a scratchy throat, A real sore throat. You have some nausea. You have vomiting, you have fatigue and when it comes to spring allergies. Sometimes burning eyes and sneezing is more prominent. Allergic rhinitis than with covid one symptom that sticks out like a sore thumb. The fever almost never curves allergic rhinitis fever can be a prominent feature of covid another possibility to consider both at the same time in which case taking a covid test can always clear up any concerns and doubts. Angelica true. No News 12. And if it is allergies, there are over the counter prescriptions for that, Doctor Surber says, taking them before allergy season and then throughout it is the most effective way to treat it.
