HVFORECAST

And of course, we'll have more news in just a few moments. But first, let's turn our attention to our storm watch forecast. Here's meteorologist Addison Green to break down everything you need to know for this weekend and, and to that, we do anticipate seeing a very nice start to the weekend. It's the second half, the back end as we're trying to come on back home from our weekend getaways perhaps. And we're dealing with a very high chance of seeing showers come through at last into Monday. Thankfully though, not the entire days for both these are going to be washed out, but we're gonna be seeing this system swing on in by Sunday afternoon, the first half of your Sunday for the most part will be fine. Breezy, mild, a touch on the muggy side with an increase of moisture coming up this way. But by Sunday afternoon, overnight into Monday, that's when we get batches arranged strong gusty winds. Those holiday lights that are nicely decked out across your household may be impacted, especially some of those inflatable holiday decorations where you maybe perhaps you want to bring them inside before they get blown away. So putting your future cast right here in motion Sunday morning, you can see we have probably the most of the cloudy skies across the Hudson Valley area. These yellow lines right here are Isobars lines of pressure, the more amount that we have in place and the closer you are to get shows us a stronger wind field coming on in and the direction of where it's coming from. And we can see those winds will start to increase out of a south westerly direction around lunchtime showers though still aren't here yet, but we're watching those Isobars getting closer together. So more breezy winds by Sunday afternoon with rain coming on down and this will continue being the case overnight, potentially some heavy rain coming on through. Thankfully though, this is for the most part wind, we're sleeping 330 or so right there in the morning, but some strong gusty winds may come down with that rain as that rain comes down from the atmosphere and pulls down that strong wind flow. Now, up past this cold from approach in our area, we may be dealing with a brief change over places like Sullivan County, Olsa County, a little change over a little wintry mix of snow. I think dry air will come rushing on down first. So that change over will be brief. But nonetheless, it's still possible if you're out and about. We did have some snow showers earlier on today with a brief flow of air coming in off the Great Lakes that has, for the most part shut down. But we still have some cold air in place for tonight with a very light breeze. We'll see temperatures go down towards the low 30 gutting in towards your four, five o'clock hour and then moving up nicely towards lunchtime. Around 42. We're getting back to where we should be this time of the year with high temperatures in the mid, maybe even the upper forties. If we're lucky, Saturday is the pick of the week, mid f coming our way. Sunday, 60 degrees. You're like, wow, that looks great problem is that happens closer to midnight and heavy rain and gusty winds coming on and so it's not gonna be a pleasant 60. Then after that temperatures tumble forties are coming our way for all of next week.
