HVFORECAST

Day, we see the lights blinking there on the bridge. Is this gonna stick around? Yeah, unfortunately, we are looking for the foggy and cloudiness to stick around at least until we get to the early parts of tonight. But the good news is the rain in itself, folks is going to start to dissipate as we get closer towards the dinner time hours. So this is what we got going on for us on our surface man picking up where we left off again, the low pressure system which has just been funneling plenty of shower activity throughout the course of the day. Luckily, this our activity in itself though has been mainly light. And now as we get into the rest of this evening, we are looking for that rain to start to pretty much clear up. But towards Yonkers in areas like Westchester and Rockland County, some spots could see some isolated showers and even parts of the northern areas of Ulster and Duchess County. Again, you might see a couple of straight showers, but you're not necessarily gonna need that umbrella or Reindeer getting into the rest of this evening if you're going to be out Now, we've seen close to about three quarters of an inch of rainfall for parts of Westchester County. But many of us saw less than about a half of an inch from this latest event. Now, once the rain is done though, once we get to tonight, we are expecting fog to take over once again, which is gonna be lowering visibility heading into our Monday. So just be mindful that we are looking for areas of fog to start off for Monday. But until then we are looking at cloudy for the rest of this evening and steady temperatures into the forties over towards the uh New Rochelle area. So looking at our future cast, what we got again going into tonight's might see a couple of stray showers, northern parts of parts of Ulster County might even get a bit of some heavier rainfall. But again, once we get closer to around 10 o'clock, things are looking to dry out for us heading into Monday, we are looking for more sunshine. Some clouds will build once we get into our Monday afternoon as temperatures will be near 50 degrees as we roll into around three o'clock. Otherwise not expecting a whole lot more in terms of rain, but be prepared for breezy and mild for Monday. But the forties will return once again a bit on a chillier end from Tuesday into much of next week, near 40 in the upper thirties. By the time we get to Hanukkah and then we will warm back up next weekend. All right, Julian, thank you for that weather.

The Bear Mountain bridge turns 100 next year to kick off centennial celebrations and to commemorate 100 years since construction of that bridge started. The New York State Bridge Authority dedicated a time capsule. Today I put them right in the OK. I can't fit in there. Yeah, 100 year time capsule. So it's gonna be sealed up and placed in our Anchorage pit and to be opened 100 years from now. So I've been with the Bridge Authority 56 years right now. My dad came on the Bridge Authority in 57 at the Hudson Bridge. So there's been a Brooks here for 65 years with the bricks for the Bridge Authority. It's coming up on the 100th year anniversary. This is the 100 years since construction began and next November will be the 100th year since the anniversary of the opening of the bridge. So 1924 1924 Yes, Eye or the What We Eat. The Bear Mountain Bridge was a groundbreaking achievement in its time, funded through private funds and supported by the Harriman family. The bridge was built in less than two years without a single loss of life myself. I've been here for going on 28 years in June and I love this bridge. That's really what kept me here. And my past foreman have kept me motivated to stay here. I've never worked at any other bridge besides this one. We can thank the Bear Mountains for paving the way for other bridges that follow.
