All right. We're checking back in on today's storm watch. We want to get straight to storm watch team. Meteorologist Alan. No. All right, Alan. So as the rain is moving through this morning, what can we expect? Yeah, it's going to be a slow go on the area roadways this morning. We saw that with Ellie live in thunderbolt 12 just a few minutes ago. And that's because we've seen quite a bit of rain, almost two inches worth actually across parts of our borough that's causing. So some of those puddles, not luckily severe flooding. That's great news because it has fallen over about a 12 to four hour stretch instead of just in a couple of hours. So take a look at our highest amount in Morris Park. So this is what was taken right along Morris Park Avenue. We're seeing almost two inches of rain down towards Pelham Bay as well. University Heights at 1.8 inches, laguardia. So right across, of course, the river we're seeing about 1.7 inches. So we could expect some more uh, flight delays this morning. Keep that in mind if you're planning to head out or have loved ones coming in. Let's take a look at the future cast here as we head into the five o'clock hour, more of the same. We're going to continue to see the rain out there into the six and seven o'clock hours as the final push moves on through. Notice again, just north of, uh, of our borough, we're already seeing the drying happening. So at 730 it'll still be a steady rain. We're still seeing the green right on top of our borough, whether you're in North Bay Chester or towards co op City and City Island, City Island, you're going to see the rain for the longest because as the storm exits from west to east, we're going to continue to see again, a couple more showers and you'll be last to finally wrap up with the rain after about 9 a.m. Notice by 930 we're done with the rain still hanging on to some clouds. But by the time we get to lunch time, it's going to be sunny. Wouldn't also want to forget the sunglasses because for the afternoon, there will be that sun glare issue with lots of sunshine out there into the afternoon and evening, just a couple of passing clouds, but we are now dry into the evening hours into the overnight hours. Again, future cats, I'm telling you it's moving, but it's not showing anything because of course, we will be clearing things on out as for wind gust, they will be picking up throughout the morning. We're going to see them approaching 25 to 30 MPH. Luckily, we avoided the worst of the wind gusts. Those were literally about 10 miles away out towards Long Island. So very lucky in terms of that, but it will still be blustery and notice the wind direction north and west. That's a cold Canadian wind that's going to be bringing down that colder feel throughout the afternoon. So Pelham Gardens, that's a 24 mile per hour gust into the lake morning this morning, throgs neck 24 mile per hour. Gusts and into the afternoon again near 30 MPH slowly but surely dying down as we head towards the afternoon and evening hours, notice they're going to be heading down below 5 to 10 MPH. So much lighter wind into tomorrow morning, but it's going to feel like pretty, pretty cold because take a look at the 10 day forecast and what you're going to see is that the lows will get down to just below freezing at 31. Even that little bit of wind left over tomorrow morning, it will feel like the twenties. So you want to bundle up tomorrow morning, breeze will actually pick up again into the afternoon. So forties will feel like thirties and then the next several days beyond, then it's just cold even colder than last week because highs they're gonna struggle to reach 40 low temperatures will be in the low thirties. So definitely look out for that once we finally clear out of this rain later on this morning again, 9 a.m. you're gonna get the green light because the rain will be wrapping on out of here. All right.

And I know nothing about this makeover subject. I have nothing to say John. Come in, please. I have short friends. They may take offense to that. Right. None intended but nothing is showed of rain as we work away and the wind it's gonna get worse. The wind is still gonna stick around throughout this morning. Um, the good news with the rain is it's starting to, to diminish and decrease. But again, with that wind, it's brought a lot of power outages specifically for Litchfield County spots across Newtown. Already seen over 200 power outages due to a storm that's really swept through with a lot of rain. A thunderstorm that pass through just a little bit after midnight earlier on this morning. So with that, we have a flood warning in effect for spots out across New Haven County. That's that lime green area, the darker forest green, that's the watch which sticks around throughout the rest of our morning, uh, into our afternoon. That flood watch looks like it's gonna expire by the time we head into around your 66 30 hour. Again, we're really starting to see that system move out east and thankfully, the worst of it is behind it, but still take it easy. We're still dealing with some steady bouts of rain this morning, some heavy rain this morning. But as we fast forward into the afternoon, we'll start to see that improvement. We really liking this rain to wrap up before the morning is done. And then we're gonna see, uh, a strong cold front bringing into some colder weather. We're quiet for the rest of this week, but again, it's gonna be a cold one and you're certainly gonna see that as we head into your tonight. So you just look at your 56 o'clock hour still dealing with some rain. Again, that strong cold front moves in. So notice different colors as you're looking up north and northwest, some pinks, some blues, a little bit of a mixing. We may see some flurries, we may see some snow showers and we could maybe even see about a coating to an inch thick for areas. Well, north, we're to cornwall on north, maybe spots out of crows ocean. Here's a look at your seven o'clock hour. We're starting to see that rain taper off by around 89 o'clock. I like for us to be dry. Then we could see some sun. By the time we head into this afternoon we're still gonna watch for some snow showers for areas up north and then again, a break in the clouds. Some sunshine for your afternoon. Numbers are gonna be in the lower to mid forties, then we're cold for tonight and we'll see that heading into your tomorrow. Looking at your extended forecast again. Once we get through this morning, we're looking at improvement as we dry out, but again, chillier.

We have another, we have another say 90 minutes or so before we start to completely dry things out here across the Hudson Valley. But we're going to end as a couple of wet snow flakes, mixing with the rain, even probably in Westchester County as I'm seeing right now. Let's take a look outside right now towards the Hudson River. It is still dark and early, the sky will brighten up through the six o'clock hour back to live Doppler radar right now. And so if you have to head out right now over the next hour or so, just slow it down for the conditions. Roads are wet, there are wet leaves around still this time of the year. This is mostly rain at the moment as we take you a little bit closer and give you a hyperlocal view here over towards Spring Valley. Actually a little bit more of some moderate rain over in Spring Valley right there along 287 Eastern to Mount Pleasant in Arville, more of the same, just some moderate rain at the moment, getting a few wet snow flakes mixing in towards Warwick and Greenwood Lake right now. It is some steadier light to moderate snow over in northwestern Ulster County in these areas, temperatures are still above the freezing mark, but they can be some light accumulations on colder surfaces in those higher elevations in Ulster. What I want to show you here on the satellite and radar loop here is that some more of those blues popping up where we have the greens. That is a sign that some colder air is starting to filter on down into the storm as it pulls away off to the east. And we pretty much expect that as we go throughout the mid morning hours, this will end as a rain snow mix pretty much everywhere across the lower Hudson Valley. But any snow doesn't amount to anything, the ground still warm in the upper thirties to low forties. And you just have to watch out for the wet conditions as you travel as we go throughout this morning, winds actually not awful right now. It's breezy at times and as we go throughout the day, the wind can still be breezy in the 20 to 30 mile per hour range. So the Futurecast shows the drying conditions by mid-morning breaks of sun after nine o'clock this morning. But staying breezy and chilly into the afternoon, dry stretch of weather tomorrow through the start of the upcoming weekend, temperatures near 50 Friday through Monday with more rain, possibly Sunday evening and into Monday of next week.

Of course, you know, you have to drive slowly through this. They actually just opened the gates here. The park usually opens, you know, just before sunrise. But again, this is really the most we've seen but the rain is continuing. So we will keep you posted. I'm reporting live from Bay Park back to you in the studio Rich. All right, Cecilia. And it's turning colder. The gusty winds are coming in the wind chill right now where you are 35 degrees. So as the cold front passes Montauk, we're seeing the wet weather out here right now and then the colder temperatures. So it's kind of some sneaky flooding out there since it's still dark, the sides of the roads, you can't see all the puddles. We've had some flooded roads in the East Northport. We've had some flooding around the island this morning and you can see where Cecilia is in Oceanside. There's another batch of steadier rain starting to move in right now. We've seen a little bit of a lull over by poor Jeff the Corm to Central Islip. Now, we've had some steadier rain out towards Montauk this morning where some of the roads have been flooded and the big story will be some of the ponding out there. Give yourself extra travel time. Now that we're approaching, you know, the heart of rush hour, there's going to be a lot more cars out there. We have wet roads. Sunrise highway, the sun state the Meadow Brook heading towards a IE Minneola, wet weather conditions right now, Albertson Hicksville to Levittown the wine, wet weather conditions out here for this morning. Now, just to the west of Long Island, there's some steady downpours developing right now over Staten Island. This is the last of the quick, heavy downpours and then take a look at this. You see the blue color north of Morristown heading north into northern New Jersey and the Hudson Valley. There's some snow mixing in with some of that rainfall. Yeah, it's cold enough that they're seeing snow north and west. Now, for us, look at our temperatures now, 42 from Glen Cove to Hempstead. The Valley Stream 42 in Smithtown. 48 Montauk. These temperatures are down from yesterday. Fifties and sixties forties now winds around 15 to 30 MPH. Look at some of our wind chills right now. Hewlett at 3538 in Farmingdale. 35 ice up to 40 in West Hampton. It's going to be a cold afternoon and an improving weather conditions a little bit cold this morning at 41 in Patchogue, rainy and wet this afternoon here comes that sunshine, better weather conditions this afternoon, but with the wind feel colder. So when does the rain end between 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. Out over the east end? Weather is improving. Take a look at this at 345. There's your sunshine. Temperatures are in the forties but it's cold. Wind chills will be in the thirties this afternoon, rain tapers off after 8 a.m. noon, sunshine tomorrow morning, 30 cold tomorrow afternoon, sunshine and 44 dry weather throughout the work week after this morning and in fifties approaching the weekend, don't forget we want to see what's happening in your neighborhood.

Weather conditions are just nasty this morning till about nine or 10 a.m. Just, you know, if you have to head out, just be aware, it will be windy, it'll be rainy in some parts of the state, it'll be snowy. Uh, but I don't think they're going to see much of an issue there. I want to focus right now our attention on the coastal flood advisory that's in effect for Ocean County, in particular. Here's what happened overnight. We had a strong robust south wind push all that water up Barnegat Bay. It's now kind of pooling, especially along the northern areas. We're talking like Point Pleasant Bay head Manalo Ocean Gate, probably going to be dealing with some minor flooding for this morning. Now, the high tide cycle already passed right for the northern areas of Barnegat Bay, but the low tide is going to be just before noon today. So we have that water just kind of hanging out and this is because of the wind direction, right. The wind changed from a south wind that kept the water in the bay to now a more westerly north westerly component. And that's what's going to be the issue for the barrier islands. And that's what's going to spill over some of that water during this morning's high tide cycle, which is taking place right now. But additionally, aside from that, you know, it's windy today, we have gusts upwards of 30 MPH, coastal gusts and seaside heights could get up to 3035 MPH at a time this morning, especially around 10 a.m. when the rain pushes away and that rain of course, ending statewide between nine and 10 a.m. as well. So nuisance flooding definitely watching for that flooding right now in parts of the area, big puddles really that it's all nuisance, not life threatening right now, light snow is mixing in right now also north and west, an isolated accumulation here or there probably like Warren County, especially with a little bit of that burst that's coming through within the hour's time. Coastal conditions again, flooding along the Barnegat Bay. That's going to be one of the concerns for today as well. Statewide winds up to 25 to near 30 MPH with the exception of Ocean County, of course, a little stronger at the coast there. But honestly, the wind doesn't calm down until late tonight. Anyway, here's that satellite and radar picture with our future cast. We are expecting this honestly to just kind of slide away as we head into the late morning. We have a clear afternoon with temperatures in the forties. But then tonight we get down to 31 degrees. It'll be cold as we kind of realize, hey, it's still in December, you know, the warm air from yesterday now gone. And you'll see Tuesday's high, beautiful conditions, temperatures in the mid forties with a lot of sunshine and that's the same pattern that holds through Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week too. Back into the fifties. So this weekend with the next chance of rain, Sunday night.
