HVFORECAST

Well, winter right around the corner. And will we be seeing any bitter cold temperatures in the Hudson Valley? That is the question for Addison Kevin. I happen to have the answer one more day. Then we're gonna get a little bit better out there. But will we be staying that way for long? You know, that's a different story. But let's break it down for you over the course of the next few mornings where after we go past tomorrow morning, Thursday morning, where temperatures will be feeling the ops by Friday morning, it'll be feeling, feeling better, I should say. And Saturday, we're certainly not feeling that chill in the air as milder air is moving this way. In fact, Saturday is going to be the brighter of the two weekend days ahead. It's a 5050 split. Saturday is a gem Sunday, a little stormy but overnight and then towards your Thursday, we still keep that cold air around. You may see a flurry of two come on in including going around the sunset time frame. As Hanukkah begins, we'll be dealing with temperatures around 37 degrees, feeling around the low thirties and then moving on into the evening hours. Any little bit of flurry activity that was around earlier is gone. Now, the pick of the week it's Saturday, 55 degrees. Temperatures running 10 degrees plus above average, it'll be a nice, mild feeling in the air for southerly flow coming up this way. But we'll watch a system move in towards our region for Sunday continuously. Bringing up that southerly flow, push and more moisture up. This way, the winds will start to increase and we'll get batches of rain coming on in through Sunday afternoon through the evening hours, wrapping up by early Monday morning. So any of those holiday lights that are around your household, maybe some loose trees as well. They may be impacted by some of those gusty winds. Potentially. On the way for your Thursday morning, we're waking up in Newb with a temperature of fuel in around 21 degrees out towards White Plains of 24. There are a few passing snow showers trying to come on down this way, but they'll dry out, fizzle out as the air is moving on down from the northwest to a southeast. Skies are coming out nicely for Friday morning. We'll just see a mix of sun and clouds going out through the day on Friday before this system starts to inch closer towards the east coast. By Saturday. It's pushing into the Ohio River Valley down towards the Deep South. It's heading up towards our vicinity for your day on Sunday. But notice before noon it's just on our doorstep. So the first half of your Sunday looking pretty good. Second half, not so much. That's why we got the red box right there and we'll watch this system be leaving our area early Monday morning with some breezy winds to follow.

Is your car storm ready? An auto expert offers driving tips for bad weather

All right veronica. Thank you, terrible timing really for this storm to come just in time for peak holiday travel, but that's why it's important to check to see if your car is ready and news. 12 Diane Caruso explains what an auto expert is advising tonight. As you're getting ready for the storm, here's some tips to make sure your car is to. We don't want to see our customers get hurt. So I spoke with Derek Olson at Clarkstown international collision. An auto body shop in that's been repairing cars for 30 years, preparing for the winter starts from the ground up literally having your tires slightly underinflated, helps create more surface tension between the tire and the road. So if you over inflate, you're going to cut the bottom of the tire and you're going to get less traction slight under inflation can help you create more surface tension. Olson shows us a few tires for a sort of test run. He even uses something. All of us have a coin. If we look at this tire, you can see that, you know, we have proper inflation and then we can still see our horizontal and vertical ridges. So we're going to have good water displacement. This first vertical beam is what we want to measure because that's our inside measurement of the tire and you can see as we measure it, we lose the top of Abraham Lincoln's head on the penny and proper tread, depth and tire tread is important during this time of season for proper water displacement and traction during these wet weather seasons. It's important to see clearly, too, is your windshield wipers a quick inspection of your windshield wipers to make sure there's no tears and it's even across. Once you do check them, if you pour some water and then activate the wipers to make sure you have even displacement and you're not getting streaks will help us, especially as we get into the colder weather, because streaks will then form ice, which then allow the water to catch even more. A few quick checks can put you on the road to safety. Diane crusoe 12.
