HVFORECAST

Meteorologist Addison Green back now with a look ahead to milder days, my friend. Yeah, we're not talking though, Kevin, like, break out the shorts though, so I gotta keep us still back in the closet. But we'll get the chance for maybe dealing with temperatures running a little bit better, more appropriate for this time of the year because the past few days have been a little bit more winter like than fall. Like after all, we are still in the middle of going through these fall days. Now go through your day on Thursday. It's gonna be getting a little bit better out there. Temperatures moving upward. They'll continue to move upward for your day on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. But we do have a deal of rain chances also on the rise. But you can certainly see over the next several mornings where we have been feeling that really big chill in the air. Thursday morning, temperatures around mid-twenties feeling about 20 degrees Friday, mid thirties feeling about 30 degrees and then by Saturday, 41 feeling close to that. So yeah, we're moving those numbers in a positive direction through your future cast. We go towards eight o'clock, 30 degrees in Poughkeepsie feels like 23 white way, same thing for you and then towards the 10 o'clock hour watching those numbers kind of still hanging around that same area towards Thursday morning. Though, temperatures around say Yorktown Heights been about 24 degrees go down towards around 29. Not bad. A little bit chilly out there to the Middletown area. Then by Thursday afternoon, temperatures certainly looking to be moving in a positive direction. Lots of locations feeling like the upper thirties. Now for Friday, we're going to be watching a storm system moving towards the northeast and as we bring in milder air, we're also bringing in that rain shower chain. So as we displace that colder air, we're not worried about any wintry mix or snow mixed on in with those rain showers, just rain coming on down and it should be wrapping on up by the time we get in towards early Saturday morning and then we'll get a dry day through that.

LIVE ZOOM: Orange County Emergency Services

228WC7oc_2023-02-28-07-36-38

Back on store much. Now one area dealing with the mess on the roads is Orange County joining us this morning on news 12 from the Orange County emergency management offices, alen Mak Allen, Thank you for your time sir. Alan, hi, good morning. Sorry sir. Tell us a little bit about what you're seeing outside, you said offline when you and I were speaking that the timing is helping you out there. Yeah, the roads don't look too bad out here in Orange, the road crews have really done a good job. The timing really couldn't have been better because last night, when the snow was bad, 84 was closed in both directions here, over by the town of Newburgh. Uh, jackknifed tractor trailer. So it's one of those things as we come up on this next storm, you know, remind people to, you know, have their car ready in case they're stuck because of somebody else's accident. But in the meantime it's this heavy snow, you know, be careful, uh, you know, shoveling it, you don't over exert yourself Absolutely. A lot of crews out there, people have had to rest this winter, haven't seen much activity. How does this get you back in that mindset and remind you their emergency management that we're not done just yet. Yeah. You know, we were sitting there thinking, wow, we don't have to spend the night at the emergency operations center this year and we did last night and we'll do it again when we have to. But uh, you know, just remember winter storm Stella hit us, March 24th, so we got 24 26 inches of snow that year. We know better than to let our guard down. That is for sure. Tell us just a little bit about crew response, How many people are rolling this morning? How long do you plan on keeping them out there? Yeah, we've got 45 trucks rolling with D. P. W. And they'll go until sometime after noon unless the snow picks up again. Okay. Something to certainly watch Alan Mak, Orange County Emergency Services appreciate the time, appreciate the work and hopefully it is the last night you'll have to sleep there. Thank you. Thank you sir.
