Have to bundle up for it. Oh, it's gonna be super out there but dry though, right? Any sort of rain or snow because I know we had those festive flakes yesterday. But listen, it's going to be layers upon layers. If we're heading out towards the Rockefeller Center tree lighting tonight, the winds are also going to be blustery, which is why it's going to feel colder than what the thermometer says wind gusts forecast. But pretty much you're seeing those 15 to 25 mile per hour gusts into the lighter morning and the afternoon hours. So the wind's not going anywhere anytime soon. At least not today. It's gonna make it feel quite a bit colder. So later on this morning again, it feels like temperatures teens to around 20 not much of an improvement this afternoon. So heading out for lunch, maybe pack that lunch though right now before head out the door. So you don't have to be outside an extra bit longer because take a look at 27 degrees that feels like temperature for Bathgate as well as M Sania at 26 for Mott Haven 26 for Pelham Bay feels like temperature at around noon today into the afternoon and evening, we'll see a little bit of an improvement, but again, twenties more or less will be, feels like temperatures again. 23 for Park Chester and North Bay Chester at about, uh, eight o'clock this evening into the overnight hours. We'll see those temperatures stumble again but not as cold as this morning. This morning is gonna be the coldest morning tomorrow, not as cold but still bundle up because it feels like temperatures 23 26 23. It's still going to be a cold start tomorrow morning, improvements begin into the afternoon as the sunshine comes up, the wind changes direction to more of a southerly wind and that's a milder wind. So the temperatures are going to start off near freezing tomorrow into the afternoon. Get up into the middle, maybe even upper 40 so hour by hour, you could see us getting up to about 47 to 48 degrees into the afternoon. The next weather story is actually going to be rain on the way for Friday afternoon. It starts off north and west, but I think by about two or three P ma couple of showers are possible and then likely for the evening commute. There's going to be a little bit of an issue though for Friday evening's commute, maybe make a little bit earlier of a getaway there Friday afternoon and then the weekend is looking ok for now, the big, the big thing here is that it'll be near 50 degrees. We'll enjoy that.
