BXFORECAST

All right, we are on storm watch on this Friday afternoon. Alan's back now as we've got a storm coming Sunday, that's got rain and strong winds. Right. Alan, right. So those loose holiday decorations, Dan, I don't know if you have any that are loose. I would either secure them or move them in and what better way than to do it then on Saturday. Because listen, it is going to be beautiful, a beautiful experience. 55 and sunny on a Saturday in December. That does not happen very often. So, take it of that because on Sunday it's going to get a whole lot worse. Sure. The temperature says 65 and that's actually near a record high, which is 71 of the warmest December days we've had in a long time, but it will be coming in with those storms and it's going to be a little bit of a rough ride heading into the evening hours. Let's take a look at the latest timing. Here's how I can break this down as best as possible to your neighborhoods heading into Sunday and Monday start time is likely 9 a.m. on Sunday. It will be on and off showers, some steady rain and the wind will slowly but surely pick up throughout the course of the afternoon after nine pm. On Sunday through the wee hours of Monday morning, that's when you want to stay home. Don't have anyone, any loved ones going outside. Make sure your pets are also secure because they might be a little bit loud there with some of the wind gusts howling as well as the lightning and the thunder as well. There will also be some of those again damaging wind gusts through 4 a.m. And then throughout course of the morning commute on Monday, things taper off very quickly. It's like, wait, it did it even rain. That's kind of what it's going to be like. Heading into the morning commute on Monday. Let's take a look at the future cast again. Seven in the morning, we're dry heading after 9 a.m. Here comes the rain over head our borough. We're going to see some pockets of moderate rain. This is at around lunchtime for North Bay Chester as well as Bathgate. Then a little bit of a lull here and there on and off showers is the best way to describe it. But then here we go into the evening hours as the rain picks up becomes heavy in a hurry. We're seeing some of that heavy rain. Wakefield Co op City approaching the midnight hour and on top of that wind gusts continue to be a concern, especially along the coastline. Take a look approaching midnight, how we could get 50. That's right. 50 mile per hour gusts hunts point frogs, Neck City Island that could cause some scattered power outages. Again. When you have these wind gusts approaching 50 MPH. That is definitely a concern for no matter where you are across our borough, but especially for our coastal community. So let's take a look at that 10 day forecast. And what you're also going to see are the temperatures we're talking about what, 65 by Sunday evening, but then we're down to freezing by Monday night. So this is going to be a big temperature drop behind the storm. A lot of rain is flooding going to be an issue. Flooding is a possibility, especially on the prone areas like the Bronx River and Mashalu. We've seen that flooding counting those times and we're probably going to see it again. Best idea though, as Alan said Sunday night into Monday morning, just stay home. All right. Thank you Al.
