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

Forecast. We're in storm watch. Not for today, not for tomorrow, but Alex says for Sunday. Absolutely. I mean, look at this, this morning, we've had some pretty good sunrises this week. I know Ben, you know what? We've been enjoying them inside where we're not freezing cold. That's the problem on the beach. I know, you know, Mother Nature just has his way of giving us some beautiful sunrises when it's really uncomfortable outside. But let's talk about the jump into the forties that we're expecting by mid morning. It is warmer at 9 a.m. today at 40 than it was at point yesterday. Yesterday, we only hit 39 for a high today. We're expecting 47 Glen Cove Hempstead, Huntington, Smithtown all the way to Riverhead. We are all in the mid forties across the island today. Tonight, we drop into the mid thirties, but we're actually back in the forties by Saturday morning, we're looking really warm on Saturday, but clouds will build very quickly. So expect Saturday to be generally cloudy with just peaks of sun temperatures in the mid f by 10 o'clock in the morning. And we're expecting in those mid fifties all day Saturday. Ok, let's talk Sunday because that is definitely what's on everybody's mind right now. And we have got some showers passing through around noon time on Sunday. You see, winds aren't really too bad at this point, but the rain will be heavy at times. Sunday afternoon, the morning should be mainly dry with just sprinkles. But the middle part of the day, we're already seeing showers and we're expecting another round of rain to come as you had to sleep on Sunday. So you see dinner time, maybe break in the rain. But then 12 o'clock in the morning, now we've got rain and on top of that, some pretty gusty winds. I do think some of the mole guidance is overdo it with some gusts up to 50 MPH. But it is possible. I'm thinking closer to 30 to 40 MPH. That's more than enough to get the Christmas decorations blown across the street. And we also have to worry about how much rain we're going to see. So, through five o'clock on Sunday, it's pretty manageable, about half of an inch at the most toward Nassau County. But look at this plume of heavy rain right now, the GFS Mogg sets it up just to the west of the city, but that red is over three inches of rain. So where the heaviest rain sets up, we're just gonna have to kind of fine tune it as we get a little closer. The European Mole has 1 to 2 across the island. It looks like the farther west you go, the better that heavy rain risk is going to be. But the wind is for everybody. By Monday morning, things are starting to calm down and we're looking cool and dry for next work week. All right. Thank you. All.

315baseballvax10p

and the lockout has been lifted. Baseball is back but will all of your favorite Mets and Yankees fans suit up on opening day news 12. Sports director Kevin Maher joining us now and Kevin could the city's covid 19 rules keep some of those players benched. It's a possibility but don't panic just yet. Opening day is still a few weeks away and things could change. That is the good news. But right now those rules say unvaccinated players would not be able to play home games because Citi Field and Yankee Stadium are considered city workplaces. It is the same problem nets star Kyrie Irving is dealing with at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Of course the difference you're probably saying as well the stadiums are outdoors but the rules still apply new york city Mayor eric Adams admits the rules are unfair for athletes but he's refused to change them. The Mets and Yankees have not said how many of their players are still unvaccinated. In fact, the Mets did not comment at all. Today, the Yankees released a small statement saying they are working with city officials to hopefully work something out. We'll see McKenzie, you keep a close eye on that. Okay, Kevin, thank you
