Wanna get back to Hilda now talking more about temperatures when we have bitter blast. We know they're not looking too good, Hilda. No, that's right. And then we add also on to the factor of those active winds kind of influences that wind chill and over like feels currently not too bad as we're waking up, kind of getting into the teens in places like white plains, Newburg and up also into Kingston. But we could notice that as we progress throughout the afternoon hours, that's also when we'll notice a shift in wind out of the northwest and adding on to that cooling factor that will also descend even further. Our feels like for tomorrow morning in the meantime, as we're heading out the door and getting ready for the school bus of 32 degrees, but it definitely feels like the twenties. We have to dress for this specific um range of temperatures this morning. We'll notice though that the icons, although they're windy, we'll notice a mixture of sun and clouds today and it will still continue to feel chilly and of course, that chilled wind will also be here for this afternoon. Now notice what's a good component when we're talking about winter weather as well as how cold it is. Those little white spots that you could, you guessed it. We're talking about snow. Well, not too much of as far as accumulations go, but some lake effect snow across the Great Lakes is kind of he heading our way with that westerly wind and that means that those snow bands could eventually mean some of festive flurries and snow flakes for us. Now, the cold will stay persistent for today as well as tomorrow. And we could notice with brisk conditions today, winds gusts upwards to 25 mile per hour range and it will feel relatively frigid. I would like to describe for tomorrow. Now, we are also monitoring the po potential for some rain by Friday and possibly impacting weekend plans over the next 12 hours. We'll notice some sunshine, then it becomes a little bit more limited with more clouds. The winds will become a bit more gusty also into the afternoon time frame and we will stay pretty consistent into those twenties. So we definitely need to be mindful of how bundled up we are today as well as tomorrow. We are highlighting the potential for another day of concern for your Wednesday with these cold temperatures overnight, lows into the twenties and teens and we feel a little bit better when it comes to the temperatures for both Thursday and Friday heading into the weekend with a potential for some rain showers. Also in their forecast. We have more details and our exclusive 10 day in minutes.
