All right, we are on storm watch on this Friday afternoon. Alan's back now as we've got a storm coming Sunday, that's got rain and strong winds. Right. Alan, right. So those loose holiday decorations, Dan, I don't know if you have any that are loose. I would either secure them or move them in and what better way than to do it then on Saturday. Because listen, it is going to be beautiful, a beautiful experience. 55 and sunny on a Saturday in December. That does not happen very often. So, take it of that because on Sunday it's going to get a whole lot worse. Sure. The temperature says 65 and that's actually near a record high, which is 71 of the warmest December days we've had in a long time, but it will be coming in with those storms and it's going to be a little bit of a rough ride heading into the evening hours. Let's take a look at the latest timing. Here's how I can break this down as best as possible to your neighborhoods heading into Sunday and Monday start time is likely 9 a.m. on Sunday. It will be on and off showers, some steady rain and the wind will slowly but surely pick up throughout the course of the afternoon after nine pm. On Sunday through the wee hours of Monday morning, that's when you want to stay home. Don't have anyone, any loved ones going outside. Make sure your pets are also secure because they might be a little bit loud there with some of the wind gusts howling as well as the lightning and the thunder as well. There will also be some of those again damaging wind gusts through 4 a.m. And then throughout course of the morning commute on Monday, things taper off very quickly. It's like, wait, it did it even rain. That's kind of what it's going to be like. Heading into the morning commute on Monday. Let's take a look at the future cast again. Seven in the morning, we're dry heading after 9 a.m. Here comes the rain over head our borough. We're going to see some pockets of moderate rain. This is at around lunchtime for North Bay Chester as well as Bathgate. Then a little bit of a lull here and there on and off showers is the best way to describe it. But then here we go into the evening hours as the rain picks up becomes heavy in a hurry. We're seeing some of that heavy rain. Wakefield Co op City approaching the midnight hour and on top of that wind gusts continue to be a concern, especially along the coastline. Take a look approaching midnight, how we could get 50. That's right. 50 mile per hour gusts hunts point frogs, Neck City Island that could cause some scattered power outages. Again. When you have these wind gusts approaching 50 MPH. That is definitely a concern for no matter where you are across our borough, but especially for our coastal community. So let's take a look at that 10 day forecast. And what you're also going to see are the temperatures we're talking about what, 65 by Sunday evening, but then we're down to freezing by Monday night. So this is going to be a big temperature drop behind the storm. A lot of rain is flooding going to be an issue. Flooding is a possibility, especially on the prone areas like the Bronx River and Mashalu. We've seen that flooding counting those times and we're probably going to see it again. Best idea though, as Alan said Sunday night into Monday morning, just stay home. All right. Thank you Al.

HVFORECAST

We are on storm watch on this Friday for what's coming on Sunday. Matt fill us in. Yeah. So we have some moderate to heavy rain and strong gusty winds still slated for Sunday. The worst, still Sunday evening and it's very early on Monday. So it's a 5050 weekend coming up again. 53 tomorrow is the pick of the week, clouds and breaks of sun, but then Sunday will start off dry in the morning. But rains developing throughout the day, the wind is ramping up and we'll have those gusts exceeding 30 to 40 MPH into the evening and overnight on Sunday. So here's the futurecast. The lighter shades of here really won't be reaching the ground. The timing that I want you to pay attention to is after three o'clock Sunday afternoon. That's when the first showers break out, but it's still kind of just nuisance weather at that point. The higher impact weather, the worst of this storm will be after eight or nine o'clock Sunday evening. That's when the heaviest rain will be around. That's when the chance for ponding will exist into the early part of Monday morning during those overnight hours as that heavy rain comes down for a few hours. Now, colder air will work on the backside of this storm. I'm not too concerned about winter mix and snow, but there can be a few wet snow flakes and higher elevations of Orange Duchess in Ulster County says this kind of rapidly pushes away from us into early on Monday. By the Monday morning, commute, still going to be a little bit gusty outside, still wet and we have the wet leaves around this time of the year. So there can be some slippery conditions from that early on Monday. Here you can see a snapshot of some of those wind gusts Sunday evening around that 40 mile per hour range at times and rainfall totals 1 to 2 inches on average across the Hudson Valley at this point. Some of those finer details will get adjusted over the next couple of days. So make sure you're checking back with us frequently for those important updates. A mix of sun and clouds today. A nice Friday overall smile worthy weather for sure. Highs finally more seasonable in the mid forties overnight tonight, partly cloudy chilly have the heavy cold lows in the thirties tomorrow. Again, a nice day, Sunday showers developing in the afternoon, heavier rain and gustier winds Sunday evening into early on Monday, Monday afternoon, dry breaks of sunshine still breezy. Then the rest of next week looks good with a mix of sun and clouds and high, staying in the forties through next weekend.

LIFORECAST

We've got some rain coming this week. Ok, let's talk about it, Sunday and early Monday gonna be a wash. Let's talk about the nice weather too though today, tomorrow, no issues at all. Here's the rest of this evening. We're hitting mid forties as the sun sets and then briefly dropping into the thirties. But you notice that number at midnight it's actually a little bit warmer. So we do start to bounce back in temperature before you even get to Saturday morning. Today's highs top off close to 50 in Nassau County and there could be in few neighborhoods that do it and we've got sunshine. So pick of the week easy tonight. Again, these lows happen around midnight. There could be some frost, some patchy fog Saturday morning, but temperatures are bouncing up across the island. So actually by the time you wake up at 8 a.m. we're not in the thirties, we're in the mid forties and we're in the mid ff all afternoon. It's gonna be cloudy on Saturday, but these temperatures are quite mild, getting as warm as 57 degree in Riverhead and really not far behind anywhere on the island. Now, I want to take some time to really plan out your Sunday because it's going to be a bit of a wash. If you're out early in the morning, you should avoid any heavy rain. There could be light showers as early as nine in the morning for Nassau County. That rain will continue to push through during the late morning and early afternoon. This is at lunch time on Sunday. You know, the wind isn't really too bad here yet, but the wind will pick up with that second round of rain. So this first, there's actually just a surge of humidity coming in and then we catch a little bit of a break around dinner time. The rain should be more spotty. You see seven o'clock, there's not much but it is windy and then you move into the overnight hours and that cold front comes through and it really packs a punch around midnight. We could see wind gusts close to 50 MPH. And right now, the male guidance is actually keeping that front in place for the early Monday morning commute at 5 a.m. and then it clears it up at 8 a.m. The timing will definitely change. We're still looking at almost three days out. But what we do know is is that there will be plenty of rain and there will be gusty wind with this again. We're still not sure about where the heaviest rain will be. Right now. The Lagos Mogle guidance actually has the heaviest rain right over the island, which would mean two inches of rain. But we've seen that kind of go back and forth. It could be west of the city, it could be toward us. We do know the rest of the work week looks great though. So, enjoy that.

The Real Deal: What every day bills are going up?

Alright. From energy costs to feeding our families making ends meet seems harder and harder every day. Now, our consumer reporter, Janice Lieberman gives us the real deal on the items. We may see drop in prices. Where are you feeling the pinch in your pocketbook? Is it at the grocery store? Is it heating your home? Is it buying a car? Is it all of the above? You have to be a savvy shopper or to beat the high cost of groceries. You, Leonard says to shop the specials, take advantage of them, take the product and freeze it if you have to, you'll get great porterhouse steaks at a great price, right? And I think the second thing, look at all the app deals and everybody's trying to promote their apps and given specials over that. And the third thing is store brands. You know, you can save 20% sometimes if you buy something that's not a like Nabisco or a big brand like that says, high labor costs also contribute to higher prices. We've had to raise our labor two bucks an hour at Stew Leonard's to attract really good people. Caleb Silver of investopedia has the numbers, fruits and vegetables, food in general is very high but fruits and vegetables in particular up 11.3% year over year and private transportation costs. The cost of ensure The cost of repairs, the cost of maintenance for your vehicles of 8.7%. We are seeing a big decrease in prices for new and used vehicles and that's been the trend since last year and that should continue through the first half of 2023. So if you're in the market for a used car now may be the time to hit the lots as prices are starting to come down and industry experts expect them to come down even more in the next few months. I'm Janice Lieberman and that's the real deal.
