And we remain on storm watch because we are getting ready for things to change a lot heading into tomorrow. Meteorologist Crystal Ellis is here. So, Crystal, what do we need to know about the timing of what's heading our way? It's gonna be the afternoon is when things really start to ramp up and into the evening hours and especially the late overnight hours. So as we look at our planner overnight tonight, we're just dealing with some patchy fog throughout the area that's gonna to diminish the visibility just a bit as we look towards Sunday, we'll have scattered showers around in the morning, the rain and wind will pick up especially in the afternoon and especially by Sunday night, that's when we will have some heavy heavier rain, more steady and widespread and the stronger winds will be around as well. So definitely not the most pleasant end to your weekend. Let's take a look at it on the future cast. Here we are tomorrow morning, those winds between 515 MPH, not a big deal until we get into the late morning afternoon and again into the nighttime hours. So scattered showers around. Although there's some pockets of heavy downpours in the late morning hours and into the afternoon. So more scattered, more steady to widespread rain picks up in the afternoon. And then the heavy downpours really get widespread as we step into tomorrow night and the evening and check out these wind gusts around 11 pm, 31 MPH in New City, 26 New Yorktown Heights. So we're definitely going to be feeling the wind and the wet weather could lead to flooding. Maybe some power outages. Definitely, some tree limbs could be brought down with that wind. As we look at the backside of the storm. By Monday morning, we'll have wraparound showers and the winds will still be around. We could even see some wet snowflakes sneaking in as that northwest wind flow brings in colder air. So for the second half of your Monday, we'll clear things out. It's going to stay pretty blustery out there though. Again, Monday afternoon will be about 25 mile per hour wind gusts. Let's check out this 10 day forecast. We are in storm watch for tomorrow afternoon into tomorrow night and Monday morning before clearing things out for the rest of your work week will be feeling cold like December highs in the low forties but remaining dry.

To whom much is given much is received. That is the lesson some white plain students are learning tonight as look, they sleep outside in this cold weather to learn about homelessness. About 220 students built cardboard boxes to sleep in for the annual event known as Box City Archbishop Stepan High School runs this event to help the students learn and develop an awareness for those in need. The students now are becoming more aware and develop an empathy for those less fortunate than them. This experience has been really enlightening. I've, I've gone, I've been able to see how many homeless people there are just, just like how the condition they live in. It's harsh out there and it's really an eye opener for me and the students also raised money to donate to local charities.
