City. All right, let's bring hope back for another check of that hyper local forecast and the bitter blast. We're all feeling it's been a while since we've seen temperatures really this low hope and, you know, we know about the gloves and the hat and the scarf, but there's some other tips we need to probably remember. Yeah, definitely. You know, these cold temperatures are going to take us through at least tomorrow and then things start to turn around by the end of the week. But in the meantime, try to limit your time outdoors if you can. Again, the coldest time of day is during the morning hours. So if you have to go outside, just dress in layers, bundle up. And also if you are taking your car, try to warm it up ahead of time so that you're not getting into a cold vehicle and just be aware that you can also winterize your home, getting your home ready for the winter season by making sure that everything is insulated correctly. Check on your check on the elderly and the pets as they are susceptible to hypothermia and very cold temperatures that we are experiencing right now, over the next couple of hours still stuck in the thirties overnight, it gets even colder, feeling like the teens waking up tomorrow morning. So even though that's a thermometer is going to be 28 it's gonna feel like the teens 15 to 20 degrees out there over portions of the borough and even the city, the blustery winds is what's making it feel even colder tomorrow afternoon won't feel as harsh temperatures in upper thirties, near 40 degrees, a blend of sun and clouds but still cold and breezy throughout the day. Tomorrow, we're going to see the sunshine. Some clouds begin to filter in late but still going remain dry. Thursday. Your best bet to really go outside. Enjoy the sunshine and the slightly milder temperatures we're welcoming back the forties. So that's something that you can look forward to a little bit milder on our Friday. But this time it comes with some rain. So it looks like the best chance to start seeing some wet weather move into our area will be Friday afternoon, even lingering into Friday evening. Saturday does start off dry, but it looks like we're ending the weekend with some wet weather even continuing into early next week.

All right. Well, let's check back in now. We are dealing with this bitter blast still. We're checking in with teen meteorologist Scott Skoff. Now, Scott, you said today is not the end of these cold temperatures. I know it's the holiday season so I need to just get used to it. But man, yeah, there's a song that comes to mind. Follow la la la, la, la la oy because that's what we're looking at with colder temperatures. Even on the way into tomorrow, we're gonna be seeing these feels like temps staying in the twenties. But as we go to the end of the week, things are gonna be warmer but it comes with a catch rain is on the way, but those feels like temps can be the twenties all day long. So bundle up, keep yourself warm layer, have your jacket, your gloves, your scarf or hand warmers, reduce your time outside even with your furry friends too. Because as we go into the rest of the day today, we are going to be seeing these temperatures drop into the teens. That's what it's going to feel like for the start of your hump day tomorrow. So definitely even colder air ahead of us as we are looking at. Yes, a little bit of, I say it's snow. These have produced snow squall warnings over in northeast Pennsylvania and northwestern New Jersey. These snow showers are continuing to push on in towards us here in the city and you could even see those snow bands look to the north and west. This is a view from Kingsbridge and the Bronx. You can see those snow bands moving towards the city. So definitely the possibility is there towards the afternoon. I'm thinking between two and six o'clock in the afternoon, it's going to be some festive flakes, nothing accumulating but still be pretty to look at. Make sure to use the hashtag and 12 Storm Watchers on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and even post them to the news 12 app for the latest. And if you want to send your pictures in because it is going to be beautiful and by 67 o'clock should be done, we are going to be seeing that cold air come on and going to be in the twenties by the morning will feel like the teens and with that wind, that's going to be the big driving factor behind it. 20 to 30 mile per hour gusts through the rest of the day today and that will be lingering into tomorrow as well. So it's gonna be cold, it's going to be windy. It's gonna feel like the twenties even though the high temperature around 40 degrees with those blustery brisk winds gusts up to 30 MPH twenties overnight. But we feel like the teens because that breezy wind and all that cold air, the good news is we are going to be seeing that feels like temp go way up Thursday into the forties. So that's light at the end of the tunnel and then Friday fifties with the chance of rain. Same story, Sunday, Monday with milder temperatures as we enter the month of December on Friday.

Thunderbolt 12 on Pump Patrol as federal gas tax holiday becomes possibility

6.22pumppatrol10P

we are on pump patrol tonight. As president joe biden is pushing for a temporary suspension of the federal gas tax today for three months and we want to know do you think it'll make a difference in gas prices scan that QR code right there at the bottom of your screen to let us know News 12 Julio. Avila has been out and about in Thunderbolt 12 with the details on this plan and what it could mean for those trying to fill up Julio. Well, it won't be much of a savings but we'd be looking at roughly 18 cents off per gallon, which is the federal gas tax rate. Now we're here at the Shell gas station in Fordham and take a look at the price over there. It's 4 99 for a gallon of regular and that's exactly the average right now, all across new york state. Now if the federal gas tax does get suspended And assuming that price stays the same, we might be looking at $4.84 a gallon. But some drivers we spoke to, they're not sounding really hopeful. I don't think that's gonna happen, biden said he's going to do a lot of things but I don't see him helping us unfortunately. I think I like trump no, not at all. What would you like to see? Should go down with like $3, something like that. You're not gonna see that no time soon. Now the proposal would also suspend the gas tax on diesel, which is 24 cents a gallon. Now if there is a gas tax holiday then it would last for three months. And biden also made a plea to states to suspend their gas taxes. New york already jumped on that bandwagon earlier this month, eliminating 16 cents a gallon. But one business consultant we spoke to says that when that suspension took effect, the change was miniscule that drivers barely noticed. We're not talking half. So I think in that sense it almost was just not enough because consumers are used to paying a dollar a gallon. And this is all perception. Now, there have been other congressional members that have tried to enact similar moves in Congress. There was one senator a couple of months ago who did introduce a bill to suspend the federal gas tax, but that didn't even get a vote in Congress. So whether or not we get a gas tax holiday in one way or another, that's something we're going to be keeping our eyes on. But we're in Florida Man Julio Avila News 12. We're all looking for a little relief
