Well, we are on storm watch this evening as we make our way towards the weekend storm watch team HOA joining us right now here in studio and hope earlier this week, very chilly temperatures. We all have to deal with that. Now it's warming up, but we're going to have some rain that's going to come with it. Yeah, we're dealing with some rain and don't forget, we also saw some festive flakes that we saw some. But here's what you need to know for this weekend. It is going to be a 5050 weekend. Sunday will be a day that we need to watch. We're talking about showers and storms moving into our area starting Sunday morning and lasting into Monday morning commute. So the worst of the storm will start pushing into our area after 10 p.m. on Sunday and even lingering through the overnight. Some potential impacts flooding and wind damage, especially with winds that can gust up to 40 to 50 MPH. Even isolate gusts of 60 isn't out of the question. So let's time it out on your future cast again today. A beautiful day tomorrow. Do it again. It is gonna be a chilly start temperatures in the mid to upper forties and we will see the sunshine throughout the day and temperatures will be milder in the mid ff. So if you have anything to do, maybe holiday shopping tomorrow will be your best bet. Sunday does start off with some clouds and even some on and off showers throughout the morning. It looks the brunt of the system will start pushing into our area by Sunday evening. But Sunday afternoon, still dealing with that steady rain and look at those temperatures, upper fifties, low sixties. So can't even really go outside to enjoy the milder temperatures because we're dealing with this. Just the rain and the pockets of heavier downpours that can move through our area overnight and into Monday morning. So even though that the showers are coming to an end by morning, we're still going to be dealing with some of its impacts in terms of standing water, especially for those areas that have poor drainage. This is around 830 Monday morning. The showers are coming to an end, but look at those temperatures from sixties to forties in just a matter of hours and it is going to remain chilly throughout next week. Now, we're also seeing 2 to 3 inches of rainfall with the highest gusts pushing into our area by sun.

Really goes downhill on Sunday. Saturday is an ok day. You can enjoy some outdoor time. Temperatures will be mild if not warm and then Sunday 60 degrees, but unfortunately, there will be heavy afternoon rain, evening rain and then gusty winds to follow a very sharp cold front is going to be coming through and there's a lot of moisture out ahead of it. This is all going to fall within about a 12 hour window, 2 to 3 inches of rain, which could lead to some flooding. We, they also see some coastal flooding. Now, on top of that, the winds will be gusting up to about 50 miles an hour. I think that's going to be the strongest and near the shoreline, near the coast because winds there are always stronger coming off of the water and that could be an issue for us. Hall or Halloween holiday decorations may get blown or anything that's loose outside your home. You want to secure that now because we have quiet weather in place. Temperatures are actually going to be milder, starting to highs are in the fifties, but tonight a little chilly out there, if you are heading out, still grab a jacket, lighter it up. And then here's a look at that extended forecast this spring like weather is here for a very short time. After this front comes through, temperatures will fall on Monday. So the high temperature on Monday is 58. That happens soon after midnight. We're looking at for Monday afternoon and then forties continue through the next next week ahead of us. And that's a look at your local forecast.

HVFORECAST

Well, tonight, the Hudson Valley is bracing for rain as we head into the weekend. So what do people need to expect as we get those plans underway? Addison that Nikita, no matter where people go over the course of the weekend or even if they stay home, be prepared before the weekend is done to deal with this system coming in through the Hudson Valley area. So you may be having to deal with batches of rain and gusty winds coming on by maybe about 20 to 40 MPH if not higher than that. Talking about the second half of Sunday overnight and into early Monday, there may also be some flood concerns as well where most recently we did see from the National Weather service, a flood watch up effect all across the Hudson Valley. Maybe seeing on average about 1 to 2, maybe all close to three inches of rain coming on in as you move on in from Sunday into Monday right there where some of those high rainfall totals 3.3 is possible in Newburgh. But I think most locations will trend under 32 to 3 inches or so in that range, but bottom line is, it's still gonna be wet. It's gonna be windy out there. So it's breaking towards that forecast as we go on in past Saturday into Sunday. Saturday is the pick of the week. It's gonna be gorgeous. Get outside and enjoy perhaps strap down some of those holiday lights. Now, Sunday morning, 7 a.m. we have temperatures in white plains. Around 48 degrees gusts are slowly starting to pick up out of a south westerly direction. 10 to 15 MPH. Sky showers start moving in closer towards the lunchtime hours as the temperatures move up towards the mid FF we'll be seeing gusts maybe 10 to 15, close to 20 MPH over through the rest of the day. It's on and off batches of moderate, possibly even heavy rain coming on in as it's continue to get warmer. Upper fifties, close to 60 degrees. Gusts are increasing 10 to 20 plus MPH, but they'll continue to go upward as we move on through the evening hours as well. 61 degrees is possible in White Plains. If we hit that, that would tie a record high over across in Brewster may be seeing a brief downpour coming on in from a possible isolated embedded thunderstorm in this line right there, slowly coming up from the southwest heading up towards the northeast direction, going past 7 to 8 o'clock hour, close to midnight. Still very mild, very muggy out there. We got winds gusting still 20 to 30 plus MPH and the cold for itself is approaching overnight. Look at the temperatures they drop from around 60 to around 40 degrees. As we're watching that cold air starting to push on in the winds have switched direction from the southwest to a northerly direction and we're starting to draw in that drier, colder air. So I'm not too concerned with a changeover coming on in for everybody to a little wintry mix of snow. But it's possible, especially in the Catskills in the higher elevations past Sunday into Monday morning, we watch drier conditions move on in throughout much of next week. Overnight temperatures in the twenties and the thirties, patchy fog will be possible in a few spots. Let's briefly look at that visibility forecast going on in towards Saturday morning. A few locations will have that visibly starting to go down as more moisture is pushed up this way, temperatures on the rise as well heading in towards that storm's arrival, Sunday afternoon.

LIFORECAST

To your weather. Now, we are in storm watch mode for the weekend, but the whole weekend won't be a washout here. No, I'm saying now it's a 5050 weekend. Saturday is the great day. I'm so excited for it. We're going to be in the fifties. So we've got this nice warm start for you guys and even Sunday will be warm. But on Sunday, that's when the stormy weather will get here, it's looking more likely now that we'll see scattered showers kind of on and off through the day. On Sunday, it won't be raining all day long. The best chance will be in Nassau County, but the heaviest steadiest rain, the strongest winds will come overnight. So after about 8 to 9 o'clock, heavy rain will move in, we could pick up 2 to 3 inches winds could be gusting close to 40 MPH. We just want to secure all your holiday decorations that are outside. It's good news that this is happening overnight. Hopefully, most of us will sleep through it and by Monday morning it will be clearing out. So tomorrow looks great fifties in the afternoon, we will have a period of some cloudiness, but then we get some sun at night. It's dry. Sunday morning is dry, but now you see more scattered showers about through the afternoon. The worst of it will get here late in the day. So this is 730 to 8 o'clock. Here comes that line of heavy rain. You see it, it's going to be raining pretty heavy for a while. This is midnight overnight, 3 a.m. to 4 a.m. we could have some flooding, but again, if it's overnight, it shouldn't be too bad. And by the morning, the front is out of here, it will be windy overnight as well. When the strongest winds here, you see nine o'clock, we're starting to see winds gusting 30 to 40 MPH, perhaps a little bit longer, um, stronger up on the north shore. Once that heavy rain goes by, strong winds are on the east end and then it's not as bad on Monday. So when the rain clears out, the weather will start to get better. So enjoy your Saturday, it's dry, it's warmer. We're in the fifties, 60 with showers, Sunday, heavy rain overnight next week looks nice. It's mostly sunny and seasonable with

Demands, put it on the social media, he'll probably get it faster. I want a Ferrari Santa baby. Please pull up in a Ferrari. Please let's see where this forecast, you know, we've got, you know, clouds that are slowly going to creep into the forecast later on tonight, going into tomorrow. It's not a bad night. Temperatures are going to be on the milder side. I think some of the coldest air that we'll find maybe in the northwest corner of the state and that would be in the upper thirties, which is still a little bit above average for this time of year, even for summer area. So low, middle and upper thirties across the area to about 40 degrees under partly cloudy skies. The next opportunity for storms is going to be on Sunday. So timing it all out looks like it's going to be Sunday afternoon, Sunday evening, Sunday night into very early Monday morning, Monday morning. Some of the new guidance that's coming in is looking a little interesting where there might be a little bit of a change over if we can hang on to the moisture. Some is suggesting maybe a quick change over to some snow showers for early Monday morning, north and west of north and west territories of New Jersey. So we'll be dealing with some on again off again. Rain, Sunday night from one o'clock till about 9, 10 o'clock in the evening. Things really becoming rainy and windy as we get from 10 o'clock right up until about nine o'clock in the morning. So that overnight stretch is really when we're going to be looking for the stormiest of weather. Uh and more where more of the concern in this storm system is going to be one to potentially upwards to near three inches of rain is possible. One of the reasons why we have a flood watch for all 21 counties here in New Jersey. We will be looking for the clouds to collect for tomorrow afternoon, will remain on the drier side and then we start to see the weather going downhill Sunday into Monday with much cooler but drier weather next week, more details coming up. Local city spreading joy for hundreds of Children with their annual holiday, Toy Drive.

Our first speaker is the man at the helm of the entire university, uh, controlling where we invest has been an advocate for athletics and the basketball program. I want to bring up to start us off here. The President of Saint Peter's University Eugene Cornacchia. Good afternoon and welcome to Saint Peter's University. Mm hmm. Thank you. Mayor Fulop and the city of Jersey City for hosting a spectacular parade to celebrate our men's basketball team. We are truly grateful. I would like to extend a special welcome to two of our distinguished alumni here on stage with me, Senator Bob Menendez class of 1976 and is uh, tom digits here. Well anyway, damn to jesus Class of 1972 is also in the distinguished alum of our university. You know, I have to admit I still don't have the right words to express how I feel or how I have felt for the past two weeks. But what I do know is that I have such an overwhelming feeling of pride. For our players, for our coaches and for the sportsmanship and great and determination they exhibited. They were fearless weren't they? And yes they made history by becoming the 1st 15 seed ever to advance to the elite eight but they did something even more amazing. They put this Jesuit University of New Jersey on the map. ST Peter's University has been providing opportunity for generations for 150 years. I have always known what a special place this institution is, how special our students, faculty, staff and alumni are and many of you did too. But now the world has learned what a Saint Peter's peacock can do when given the chance. I want to thank our entire community for its support and to our new friends across the nation across the world. We are so glad that you have gone to know us and to know Jersey City, our forever home and partner. I have been president for 15 years and a member of this community for 40. So I've seen a lot of things here on the boulevard, I have to say this run, this is history, this is what I will remember as the greatest moment of my time here team today. We celebrate you and your athletic achievement. Each of you has shown that hard work, dedication and determination pays off. Thank you for representing ST Peter's with class and dignity and for making us cheer and jump for joy during a time when we needed it. Most congratulations and once again let's go peacocks. The next person I have, the privilege of introducing is the most prominent alumni of ST Peter's University, one of our two U. S. Senators down in Washington, proudly, proudly flying the banner of Saint Peter's University for decades upon decades. Our great U. S. Senator robert. Menendez, thank you. Thanks mayor. It's great to leave from Washington and be in peacock nation. Jersey City. I'm bad to be back from Washington to celebrate this incredible moment with his incredible young man and the coach and the whole university as an alumni of ST Peter's. I can tell you, I love going up to my colleagues in the United States Senate from Kentucky and say, how about those peacocks and from the other school? How about those peacocks and all of a sudden the United States senators who only used to come to talk to me about a vote or about foreign relations and said, where is ST Peter's? Well folks, it's here in Jersey City. I want to salute the mayor for bringing us all together and having a fantastic event. Mayor, Thank you for bringing us all together to celebrate this moment. And what can I say about these young men, What they all did was spectacular. We know it was history. Some of my friends in the Senate would say to me, we know what they did was impossible. And I said to them, no, you don't understand if you're from ST Peter's University, nothing is impossible, hard work sacrifice, grit, determination. That's what paid off their great life lessons, whether on the basketball court or anyone else. But we from ST Peter's know that the impossible is very possible. If you told me when I came here to school, growing up poor In a 10ement in Union City, First in my family to go to college, the son of refugees that I could be one of 100 United States senators in a country of 330 million people. I might have said no, but that's the ST Peter's tradition alive. So coach, congratulations on taking these young men's talent and bringing it to the forefront. Congratulations to all these young men. And because I wanted the rest of the nation to know what this moment means. Not just to Jersey City, not just to Saint Peter's University, but a moment that we all need needed to be uplifted with a Cinderella team. I have had two flags flown over the United States capitol.
