HVFORECAST

For more on that. But right now, we have to focus on the weather because we got some nasty stuff heading our way. Meteorologist Matt Hammer with those details. I'm not talking about this afternoon, scattered snow showers and flurries. We're talking about the storm that we've been kind of highlighting for a few days now that we're getting growing confidence, moves in for late on Sunday and we could be looking at wind gusts with this in the 3040 mile per hour range, perhaps even a few isolated ones that are even a little bit higher than that. Again, that's later Sunday and into early on Monday. So that will pair with a good amount of rain. So here's the Stormont featurecast for Sunday. Sunday starts off dry in the morning as we go towards mid to late afternoon. On Sunday, the first showers are breaking out. It's noticeably breezy. It's not high impact weather until the evening hours though. It's just kind of nasty until that point after around eight or nine o'clock, Sunday night, moderate to heavy rains moving in temperatures surge all the way into the upper fifties to near 60 degrees. Pockets of heavy rain will be around overnight and through about say four or five o'clock in the morning on Monday, at least with the latest timing, this might adjust over the next couple of days. So stay with us for updates to this, but it's going to be a nasty day on Sunday, especially by mid afternoon. And with the higher impact weather, the heaviest of the rain, the strongest of those winds Sunday night into very, very early on Monday that could blow around the holiday decorations and leading some isolated ponding of water as well as far as today goes, not too much going on, but there are clouds. There are some spotty snow showers and flurries. A worst case scenario just like yesterday is that a few spots get a, uh, an isolated coating or so, especially on colder surfaces. So while there can be an isolated slick spot, most of the lower Hudson Valley, not seeing that we get some partial clearing overnight tonight, especially after midnight. And then tomorrow morning is just a cold and nice dry start to Friday where temperatures around the 30 degree mark early on tomorrow. But we actually get our most seasonable feeling day all week really tomorrow afternoon with those temperatures back in the middle forties and that's just the start of a warm up into the start of the upcoming weekend. So in terms of what to wear for the rest of today, dress warmly have the heavy coat, the gloves and the hat, the all of that with highs only around 39 degrees and repairing that feel with a few of those festive snow showers around as well. Hanukkah beginning this evening, sunset forecast for 26 looking at 37 degrees for the temperature flurry chance still at that point as we go through the rest of the evening, partly cloudy skies overall and just temperatures that will drop to eventually the upper twenties and low thirties into early tomorrow morning under partly cloudy skies. Highs tomorrow, much more seasonable. A bit more comfortable for sure. With highs around 45 to 48 degrees and a nice mix of sun and clouds. Saturday is going to be warmer, so Saturday is still the pick of the week. 54 some limited sunshine. Sunday starts off dry high late in the day near 16, but just be prepared for a rough go Sunday night into the overnight hours ending before sunrise on Monday morning, that moderate to heavy rain winds that can gust between 3040 MPH. And that can lead to some isolated outages into Monday morning by Tuesday and through the rest of next week, it's drying out with a mix of sun and clouds and highs mostly in the mid 40

Ramapo officer goes into storm drain to save ducklings

Turning now to a positive note and a police officer in Ramapo being celebrated for saving these little ducklings from a storm drain. One of the officers got wet jumping right in to rescue those animals. The officer was then able to safely reunite the baby birds with their mother. Nice to see that there is a happy ending to that and we've also got some great news when it comes to our hyper local forecast.
