HVFORECAST

We're on storm watch for tomorrow, especially in the afternoon and the evening, we have two problems, heavy rain and gusty winds. There could be a few spots that briefly see 40 to 45 mile per hour winds which would bring the power out in a few neighborhoods mostly toward the lower Hudson Valley, Westchester County. That could be a problem and then also some localized flooding Sunday afternoon and especially in the overnight hours. So if you are planning on dinner time plans for Sunday, that will be a problem today, really pleasant at 10 o'clock or already close to 50 in Westchester County. And then we're in the mid fifties all afternoon. So it's actually a bit warmer than it was yesterday, but also a little bit on the cloudy side. If you have dinner plans at eight o'clock tonight, 36 in Newburgh, 3035 degrees in Middletown. So a little bit cool, but it warms up by Sunday morning. You're actually warmer in the morning time than you are in the evening tonight. We're expecting close to 40 for the upper Hudson Valley mid forties for the lower Hudson Valley temperature is definitely not the issue here. We will see some stray showers first thing in the morning tomorrow, but it becomes warm, widespread guaranteed in the afternoon. So you see that chance after brunch time really goes up quite a bit and there will be some heavy rain in the mix as well as well as wind. Now again, the wind is not a problem for the first half of Sunday, 2 p.m. Still not seeing any major wind, but there will be steady rain. Four o'clock, really steady rain here, it's a wash at this point, but the wind isn't a huge problem. 6 p.m. Winds starting to pick up a little bit. But look at this now, we're talking 20 to 30 mile per hour winds at nine o'clock. So some power outages are make sure you have a backup alarm clock. Sunday night for Monday mornings, wake up because look at the wind up to 30 MPH, that's kind of hard to sleep through. And although it's drying out on Monday with that wind shifting to the northwest, it is going to be still quite breezy on Monday. So a slight risk for scattered flash flooding. You're gonna want to watch out for underpasses roads, small streams and drains as well with all those leaves out there that could kind of clog up too. The rest of the week looks pretty quiet and dry. Once we get through Monday morning

Local travelers assist victims of earthquake in Morocco 

While some world travelers from our area are trying to bring relief to their friends in isolated Moroccan villages that were rocked by an earthquake Friday. As our Ben Nady reports, the travelers kind hearts might be the best immediate option to help the villagers after the earthquake. A group of world travelers felt a responsibility to help rebuild a remote village just southwest of Marrakesh in the Atlas Mountains until they can rebuild. Many people here are homeless travelers led by the travel and media company, World Town had been here many times and formed a strong bond with their hosts, Brandy Walters of Kingston is helping promote the group's online fundraiser to pay for the materials. The villagers need to rebuild an amazing community that cares about each other, trying to look for ways to make life easier and better. They really use everything, nothing goes to waste. I've thought about how are they going to World Town and founder Jessica Suero says their original goal was to raise $2000 after finally getting photos and video of the damage from her friend sayed seen here, Suero says the group has to raise a lot more than $2000 to make a real difference. And you see how far removed they are and how there's no sources there, how they live off the land. It's hard to comprehend how they're going to fix this. How do you rebuild when you don't have money? We're hoping that if we can raise enough money, we can make a difference with this one village. Some of the villagers died in the quake. Many others have been sleeping outside until they get the right supplies and equipment to rebuild Ben Nady News 12 and communication with the village has been tough, but the group did receive a message this morning from their main contacts who says our village has suffered significant damage and we have lost a few members of our community. We're doing our best to support one another during these difficult times, big hugs back to all of you and thank you for keeping us in your thoughts.
