For another look at your hyper local forecast as we continue to watch the storm heading into our area. And Alex, I'm seeing some parts on this map showing that snow is expected in some parts of the Hudson Valley on the back end of it, Nadia. Tomorrow morning, we will have a couple of flakes fly and yeah, even some accumulating snow weight of the north and west. But let's first talk about the rain coming in our direction this afternoon. It's still tucked away pretty far to our south. And so we're good here in the Hudson Valley for the morning. We have some areas of fog, but we also have some areas of sunshine. So we'll take it. And certainly if you have any plans before noon, you're good to go. Wind is pretty light for the first part of the day. You would have no idea that a storm was coming except for the fact that it feels a little different out there, it feels a lot warmer than it usually is. This time of the year, we even have temperatures in the fifties in some spots this morning that above average for the afternoon when the afternoon arrives. Now we're starting to kick in some showers. This is two o'clock, four o'clock. Look, we've got some rain passing through at six o'clock still and we continue to see the rain pretty much all through the evening. Some of the worst of the rain will be eight to about midnight or so tonight, it's also quite breezy, 20 to 30 mile per hour wind gusts. You factor in several hours of rain and now you've got some trees coming down, release some branches and that could knock out power. Here's four o'clock in the morning. If you're a really early commuter, you're still dodging rain. And if you're in Sullivan and Ulster County, the high elevations of Ulster County, we're looking at cold enough temperatures for a few snowflakes and then a few flakes will mix in 6 a.m. But at this point, things are drying out. It does stay breezy pretty much all day Monday. In fact, some of the worst wind will be with the sunshine Monday afternoon. I wanna show you two different models here. This is one model showing you the rain all the way up to midnight about an inch or so in White Plains and Yonkers and then it picks up to two inches but notice how close we are to that really heavy rain over Connecticut and Long Island. This other model actually will bring in some of that heavier rain off to our east. I'm gonna show it to you coming up on the other side of the break. But I also wanna show you the winter storm warning in effect for the higher elevations of Ulster County and the advisory in effect for Sullivan. I thought that was kind of important to get to. So I will show you the difference in the rain totals coming up. But a little more good news once we get through Monday, it's totally dry for work week.

Thunderbolt 12: Road conditions in the Hudson Valley

7ptbolt516

right now, we're gonna go to Jonathan. Gordon? He is in Westchester back in Westchester County checking things out, Jonathan. What's it look like? Yeah. Rich, we made it back over here. We had a, a pretty adventurous day driving around much of the Hudson Valley this evening, looking after some of these storms. We caught some of them, we caught some patches that were a lot calmer and it looks like we've found maybe the calmest part of the evening so far, really kind of passing through the Elmsford area right now in the sawmill heading up north, you're still seeing a little bit of cloudiness. Maybe the occasional Sprinkle here or there roads still slick, particularly around this construction zone. You see a little bit of it, you gotta take it slow as we do. But for the most part things are looking okay and that's the good news to get reports that you know, just a little while ago, there was some stronger rain in this area but it seems like really it's kind of coming in and it's out at this point. Um So it really just take it slow on the roads until things seem to dry off a little bit later on into the evening. And again it looks like mostly just the clouds are rolling in at this point and some patches are dark clouds that look maybe a little bit scarier than they actually are. But of course we're gonna keep this throughout the night even as you know, things are starting to calm down so far. Good news tonight And that's always, that's always the most important thing when you're out here, everyone just staying safe. Even when these storms roll in Mackenzie. Okay, Jonathan, Gordon in the thunder.
