To today's weather. What are we shaping up to have on tap? Is it warm? Is it going to be, it's going to be warmer? And with El Nino getting stronger into this winter, we were mentioning that winter weather ready special. We're going to have more details on how it will affect our winter. But before we get to that, we're talking about a temperature roller coaster. Of course, we love the cyclone, especially during the summer, not quite summer temperatures. In fact, we're going the wrong way. We are getting a whole lot colder by midweek, only thirties for highs and it also could come with a couple of snowflakes mixed in. So let's take a look at our latest feature cast tomorrow morning quite a bit colder. Look at those thirties from flatlands down towards Bensonhurst, taking Bay Parkway down, let's say towards uh Bay Ridge, it's going to be only about 38 degrees, not much warming up because the clouds will be moving in into the afternoon. We're going to temperatures mostly in the middle of forties. That's it. So back to reality here, back to December feel forties basically all afternoon long. So it's going to be colder. You definitely want to bundle up out there into the afternoon and evening, then into Wednesday. Similar story colder even in fact, barely getting to 40 here across our borough, Futurecast does not quite show those snowflakes overhead a little bit better of a chance. In fact, heading into Thursday again, a lot of messy weather, a lot of disorganized area of low pressure, not necessarily going to give us rain on Wednesday, but take a look at Thursday clipper system could bring a couple of snowflakes, which is why I have that one little snowflake there on the 10 day forecast. But as we head into the 10 day forecast, bigger storm system likely though by next Sunday. All right, Alan.

For the kids. All right. So we're checking back in with Alan. So Alan, if the kids want to play after school today outside, what are the chances for something like that? Oh, easily, no problem. Just make sure you have that typical winter attire. It's going to be typical early December weather near 50 degrees. But we're about to go on a temperature roller coaster first. The downswing take a look at how high temperatures from fifties this afternoon, forties and thirties by midweek, it is going to be quite cold by midweek and then we rebound in a big way. But that will come with rain. We'll talk about all that in just a sec, but let's get through the next couple of days again this afternoon. Not bad. Lots of clouds into the overnight hours, the clouds clear that's going to allow us to cool on down, back into the thirties. So tomorrow morning's commute, you definitely want that heavier winter jacket out the door then into the afternoon. Notice those clouds return and that's going to keep us even colder. How about just 43 during the afternoon? Yeah. So instead of 53 like this afternoon, only about 43 into tomorrow afternoon. Quite a bit colder. You're going to notice that difference gets even colder into Wednesday. Sure. We'll clear some of the clouds out, but it's still looking quite unsettled. I wouldn't roll out an isolated Sprinkle or two. this particular model has it out towards Long Island, but I could see a rogue Sprinkle here across the city heading into Wednesday and taking big picture. You can see there's a lot of unsettled energy everywhere across the northeast so that storm system could easily get to right over us a little bit better of a chance on Thursday though. Take a look at that Clipper system, another sign that it's winter out there and it's showing a few festive flakes getting pretty close to the city by Thursday afternoon. So that's why can't rule out on a couple of those flurries on Thursday. But at least that's going to be the bottom of our temperature roller coaster gets a whole lot warmer, but a big storm system is possible by next Sunday. Oh, ok. So what are we talking here? It could be quite a bit of rain. Of course, it's, it's Sunday. Today is only Monday. We have lots of time to track it, but I wanted to highlight that for you with that yellow highlight because it's a possibility move your plans for Saturday, that's for sure. Keeping our eye out for that. Thank you so much. Well, if you've been feeling a little off, you.

Tracking Ophelia: Storm coverage from Locust Point

PMFLOODING0923_2023-09-23-18-09-52

And we're continuing our storm coverage here on news 12. The Bronx as the winds and rain continues to stick around. News twelve's Lindsay Tanny is in Locus Point right by the water. She brings us the latest and Lindsay, how is it looking out there? Heather, as you can see, it's been raining on and off throughout the entire afternoon. I'm right by Locus Point Marina where high tide is in full swing. There's flooding throughout the area and for some neighborhoods like this one, it's a matter of both rainwater flooding and coastal flooding, heavy rain and gusty winds sweeping throughout the city today. It's especially important to say safe and for drivers turn around, don't drown if you see a large body of water and can't tell how deep it is, assume it's dangerous and don't drive through it. It only takes six inches of water to lose control of your vehicle. So this rain will reduce visibility and worsen as the night goes on. So if you have to be out on the roads, do not use your high lights, only low beam to not blind oncoming vehicles. Now, we're suggesting you stay inside, but if you do have to step outside, stay vigilant and bring an umbrella but it might not work because of the wind. So, maybe a poncho and some rain boots. That's the latest from Locust Point. I'm Lindsay Tanny News 12.
