BXFORECAST

Let's get back to that bitter blast coverage first time of the year we're doing this or this season and it's rough and it's lasting too long, Scott. Yeah, but it's not going to last for that long. We're gonna be back towards the fifties as we go to the end of the week, but still bundle up. If you're heading outside, it's gonna feel like the twenties all day long. We're gonna be looking at this throughout the city going to feel like the twenties. But then as we go later on tonight, from sunset into the overnight towards Wednesday morning, yes, it's going to feel like the teen. So definitely bundle up, wear the scarves, the gloves and anything that keeps you nice, warm and toasty. Maybe even a cup of cocoa because it is brisk. It is biting wind. It is blustery, but it's still beautiful outside. Look at a gorgeous view over Coney Island this morning. 34 is what it is right now. But that wind out of the west 16 MPH makes it feel like the twenties and that's the way it's going to be all day long because we're not just seeing the cold air, not just seeing the wind we're seeing. Yes. The dread of that's where some snow flurries coming on in from the Great Lakes. But because of this dry air, it might not come down here in the city. We are going to be seeing that chance this afternoon. So definitely prepare for that. It's going to be beautiful. A few festive flakes. Nothing much though as we go into the afternoon, mainly between two and six is when we can expect that. Use the hashtag N 12 Storm watchers take a picture. Then things turning clear and cold as we head into Wednesday morning and gusty winds as well. 10 to 30 MPH. Tuesday, a little less breezy as go Tuesday and Wednesday, but still biting cold. So definitely prepare for that anchor down those holiday decorations if you haven't done so already, upper thirties to around 40 today, cold windy going to feel like the teens tonight. But then we are looking at cold weather Wednesday, then back to the fifties Friday with a chance of rain. That's your look at your hyper local forecast, Scott.

Thunderbolt 12: Frigid temperatures ahead as city issues 'Code Blue' warning

the city issues another code blue tonight, temperatures expected to drop to freezing and some people in Soundview tonight are finding it difficult to stay warm in their homes. News 12 cecilia what is at the Soundview houses tonight with thunderbolt 12 showing us just how cold it is and what's happening at that Nitro complex cecilia. Well just from standing out here, I can tell you it is cold out here. Just standing here for a couple of minutes, I'm already starting to shiver. You know, if you're gonna be out and about definitely put on those heavy jackets, gloves, hats, all those works. But if you take a look at the thunderbolt monitor here right now we're at 39 degrees with around two or three miles per hours of northwest wind. Um, but like Darrell said, we're expecting freezing temperatures tonight and wind chills that may feel like we're in the twenties and I spoke with some of the residents here at the Soundview houses who say their heat and hot water has been unreliable throughout the day. One resident says the heater in her living room has been on hasn't been on all throughout the entire heating season. And today the hot water in her home has been off as well. She says, Nisha does not give the tenants notice when the heat or hot water goes off or when they will be restored. She does not wish to show her face on camera, but to keep herself warm, she has to boil hot water and bundle up in the house. She's afraid to use space heaters as they can be fire hazards. You notice what I'm wearing and I sleep with another pair of room pajamas on because it's cold. That's here. I don't know what happened because like I said, uh they should have done this in september october, not wait till now that is cold now. We've reached out to Nigel about the heating issues and they say that there was an outage today, unexpectedly due to emergency plumbing repairs. They say that heat and hot water has now been restored and that night the staff is verifying the temperatures. Remember buildings are required by new york city law to keep temperatures inside at a 62 degrees minimum between the hours of 10 p.m. And six a.m. And all new york city homeless shelters are open for any new Yorkers experiencing homelessness who are looking to stay warm. We're in Soundview tonight, Cecilia
