So, hello everyone. I'm Meteorologist Addison Green. And it's time for your latest news. 12 plus plus hyperlocal forecast for the Hudson Valley. Unfortunately, we're still dealing with some colder than the average conditions out there. So you will need that thick layer on later on tonight. And throughout the overnight hours, whether it's a thick hoodie, a jacket dress, a hat, a scarf, which is something to keep the warmth on your body for you day on Thursday, we are getting a little bit better in terms of the temperatures of rising a little bit and then from Friday to Saturday, those temperatures are trending mild, but unfortunately, the rain chances are moving upward. So moving on in across the area, unlike how it was yesterday, we do not have snow showers coming on down, just some partly cloudy skies and a wind maybe about 5 to 15 MPH coming on down. Unfortunately, out of an area that's drawing in more cold Canadian air down this way, but we do see that shade of blue and purple fading away the further south and west you go where milder air is to be found and that's gonna be moving up towards the northeast as we go forward into Thursday, Friday and Saturday. So it's those morning temperatures that we really do feel like chill in the air. So tomorrow morning, 27 degrees feeling more like 20 we can see by Friday and Saturday morning, those temperatures are looking and feeling a little bit better across the region. So three year temperature forecast, we go Poughkeepsie later on this evening, it's 30 degrees feeling about 23 Yonkers, 31 feeling about 24. Then by Thursday morning, we can see those temperatures in towards the upper tw for those air temperatures feeling maybe in the low to mid twenties. But then by the afternoon hours, it is certainly much better all across the board. Rain chances will be moving upward heading in through your day on Friday, mainly Friday afternoon in towards the evening hours. The rain will wrap on up Friday night into very early Saturday morning. But then those system comes on in late Saturday night in for the day on Sunday. So we have one dray day on Saturday and a few rainy days we have to deal with along the way.
