Welcome back. We're checking back in with storm watch team, meteorologist, Alex Calamia, Alex. You were actually saying today is gonna be a little warmer than the last few days. Yeah, it is 56. We love to see that and we've got the sunshine too at least early this morning, but the clouds will thicken a bit. So let's talk about that. Um We definitely are expecting fifties, which is beautiful all afternoon. Uh But then we've got to talk about the elephant in the room which is Sunday in the morning. This time tomorrow we have drizzle, very light winds. Not a big problem. As far as that goes early in the morning. Steady rain though develops throughout the later half of the afternoon. Dinner time could be a wash and the evening will also come with really gusty wind that could reach 40 MPH. So, so let's just take a screenshot of this. Just enjoy your Saturday. Enjoy even Sunday morning. We don't have any huge problems. Highs should reach Loga mid fifties because of that south breeze. Places like Marine Park, Coney Island rockaways. You're all looking a little bit cooler than just a little inland Bushwick in the mid fifties tonight, forties, a little bit of fog. It looks good though. We're dry for dinner time and we're dry even very early Sunday morning. But around this time tomorrow, we will see a few quick little spritzes and that will continue until lunch. So the first half of Sunday is not a total washout, but you should have the umbrella all day. Sunday. The wind is going to pick up and temperatures actually continue to climb after the sun sets. We probably don't hit 60 until 67 o'clock at night, which is just ridiculous. And obviously that does come with some problems because all of that air is literally fueling these storms. Now, we're not necessarily listening to thunder with this, but it will be lots of heavy rain, gusty wind through, I would say about dinner all the way to bedtime and even after midnight, look at some of this wind gusts at midnight. We're near 30 to 40 mile per hour. Gusts right along the Atlantic communities there. So Sheeps head bay could see 40 mile per hour gusts JFK. If you know anybody coming in from a flight, that's gonna be a problem Sunday evening, Monday morning commute. It is breezy but it is dry so no problems for a Monday morning commute. Latest model guidance showing possibly 2 to 3 inches of rain. I do think some of that's a little over exaggerated. Another model showing still two inches of rain. So definitely rain is the name of the game. We're gonna have plenty of it. And unfortunately, that could cause some localized flooding. It is dry though for the whole work week.

Thunderbolt 12: Keeping an eye on road conditions in Highbridge

Yeah, alan, we've been driving around here in High Bridge for over an hour and the biggest difference on the roadways is the conditions of the street, you can see right here, we just passed the D. S. N. Y. Salt trucks, but on the streets that's what they're doing, they're out there putting salt out there and they're making sure that the roadways are prepared and that they're clear just because there were so many wet, sleek, icy spots as the day first started out and they want to make sure that doesn't turn into black ice overnight. So a lot of salt trucks out and you can even see we're gonna flip our camera back to the front, some of those spots actually, you know, off to the sides already turning into a little bit of icy patches. So at night, the biggest thing you're going to want to watch out for are those potentials for black ice Still, as we've been mentioning, dropping the temperature hour by hour, so it's getting colder and colder, but something to watch out Four on the roads again, those slick icy spots are going to want to take it slow and you're also going to want to watch out for those high winds because as we've been driving around in Thunderbolt 12, we have seen the trees blowing the electrical wires blowing and those are things that you do want to watch out for because those can get loose and fall on the roadway. So as always use extreme caution when we're dealing with conditions like this, but that's the latest right here in Thunderbolt 12 reporting from high bridge and Mary Lynn Buck.
