BXFORECAST

Of Thursday evening, Alan, what is this you say about a fireworks fiasco we must be aware of. Oh, yes, because there could be other sorts of light emanating in the sky. That's not fireworks. So that would be, I see where you're going with this. Yes. And unfortunately, Mother Nature, yes. It's giving us amazing today tomorrow, weather wise. But look at what happens with the humidity and that's going to lead to the potential of storms in Tremont. Go outside tomorrow, Wednesday, going to be really, really nice warming up Wednesday and especially on Thursday, the humidity goes way up. It's going to be very uncomfortable and downright tropical for most of the July 4th holiday weekend. There will also be an opportunity of seeing some storms in Park Chester. This is how it lines up as we stand right now. Of course, Fourth of July is on Thursday doesn't look like a lot right now, but this is during the daytime and this is about one in four shots. So there is a chance and chance grows into Friday and especially Saturday, which looks to be the rainiest day of our July 4th holiday weekend. So let's find things out with feature cast because again, it's smooth sailing for our day tomorrow. Lower and middle eighties, lots of sun, couple of clouds at night and we wake up on Wednesday morning just like we will tomorrow morning, comfortable middle sixties, enjoy it. Lots of sunshine into Wednesday afternoon and it's pretty much a carbon copy lower and middle eighties. Once again, heading into Wednesday night, notice more clouds into the picture. And then Thursday morning, this is July 4th during the morning, it's dry, but here comes the green by the later afternoon and evening hours. Notice the time stamp 9 p.m. This is for Thursday and today is Monday, we still have several days and models will be fine tuning this as well along with us. But there is an opportunity for a stormy finish again. Some of these could be thunders, stor storms and at nine o'clock that could impact those fireworks. So something that we're going to be watching very closely, what else we're watching very closely is hurricane barrel. Absolutely unprecedented on the verge of a category five. It just passed Grenada and for any loved ones in the Dominican Republic and in Haiti, this orange color right here is a tropical storm warning only for the southern coast for some tropical storm impact. So not too, too bad, but it could be worse in Jamaica because the storm is expected to be much closer to Jamaica, a hurricane warning there. And then eventually into Yucatan, Mexico and Belize by Thursday and Friday, very treacherous forecast that we'll be updating it for you on news of the Bronx. As for our weather, storm, chances remain Thursday, Friday and Saturday. All right, Alan, thank you for the head.

Drinks as they tend to lead to dehydration. A good reminder because even though we're dealing with the cooler temps, now we are in July, Alan. So I'm sure it's going to heat up sooner rather than later. Exactly. And the humidity as well. So you're really going to want the water later on in the working. So I'm going to drop this over here and listen, over the next several days, the humidity is going to go way up, especially in flatbush. Look at this graph right here tomorrow Wednesday. Enjoy it while you can Thursday. It's, if you like true summer weather out there hazy, hot and humid for the Fourth of July that could spark some storms. And then again on Friday and Saturday, it's going to feel like Florida out there. Very tropical area is going to be moving right into our borough. And I was mentioning that rain Fourth of July, it's all on the backs of our minds already. Even though today is Monday, we're already thinking about Thursday and especially the holiday weekend. So, yes, 25%. That's a one in four shot in Sunset Park. But this number has been growing slowly but surely even higher chance Friday and Saturday. So if you're thinking about holiday weekend plans, plan it for Sunday instead of Saturday because Saturday is going to be the wetter half of the holiday weekend. But again, enjoy the rest of the, this really nice stretch while you can tomorrow afternoon, middle eighties, lots of sunshine and dry into the overnight hours, rinse and repeat Wednesday morning commute looking just as nice as the morning commute tomorrow. Middle sixties, plenty of sunshine that will carry us into the afternoon, lower and middle eighties. Once again with lots of sunshine, humidity does start going up Wednesday night into early Thursday. Here comes the clouds and follow those clouds to some showers and storms that are going to be moving in and look at the time stamp 9 p.m. That's when the fireworks are supposed to be going off and Coney Island, the Macy's fireworks as well so that could impact those fireworks. Of course, we're going to still have time to fine tune this forecast over the next couple of days. We're also watching Hurricane Barrel made landfall near grenade. Unfortunately, as a potent category four storm, this is for loved ones in Haiti and the Dominican Republic southern coast, there is a tropical storm warning the effect but you're going to avoid the worst of it. Jamaica could get a direct impact from it and then eventually Mexico coastline. We're worried about a hurricane landfall there that day. Forecast time again. We're not worried about tropical systems here but we are worried about chances for thunderstorms, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

HVFORECAST

And Addison is back with another hyper local. Look at the forecast after a nice day today. How about that? Can we get some more of this like for the next seven days? Oh, I would absolutely love that, Kevin, but then it'd be kind of a boring forecast. Borings. Ok. It's a holiday week. Everybody wants boring. Fair enough. It's like we were on Sunshine Frank weather for the Fourth of July. We'll try and deliver that for you. But certainly as we move through your day tomorrow and Wednesday, we do keep refreshing air all across the board with low humidity, but we do see those numbers moving up as you go through the fourth of July, Friday and definitely in towards Saturday picture how it would feel, say perhaps you were in Florida. Well, up towards that level of mugginess is coming our way for our day on Saturday as we go from sensational to sticky for your day tomorrow, like I said, pick of the week, temperatures right on the money, low levels of humidity. A gorgeous day for your day on Saturday, high of 87 probably feeling in the mid nineties when you're factoring that humidity and while we are enjoying very much warm days this time of the year, and we will continue to do so throughout the rest of, of July. As you look through those monthly changes, we do start to see that sunset setting a little bit earlier as time goes on and we take a look at the sunrise and sunset time frames. We're actually losing some daylight when all is said and done a little bit over 40 minutes. Unfortunately, back to the forecast white plains over the course of the next several days, you can see those rain changes and it's only gonna be a concern for portions of the Fourth of July coming up on Thurs. But those low numbers show us that we're not looking at wash up conditions, just something that we have to keep our eyes on bush, fanny, those outdoor backyard barbecues and Hollywood. Holly fireworks celebrations coming up overnight, pine bush down to 51 degrees west 0.57 62 degrees in Yonkers. Clear skies. A nice, pleasant feeling in the air setting us up for a delightful day on Tuesday with low to mid eighties coming on in for those daytime. Highs. Now moving forward past Wednesday into the Fourth of July, Thursday, we can see we start off with some scattered showers. Maybe some isolated thunderstorms pop up towards the middle of the day. Still unsettled as we're getting the chance for seeing those fireworks go off. Then afterwards from Thursday into Friday, we still stay unsettled and we do see that moisture, all the rise, rain changes as well for our day on Saturday. If we two, between weekend days, Sunday is going to be the drier day coming our way with those showers wrapping up in the morning hours. But nonetheless, it's a day to be by the AC or by the pool with hot and humid conditions around town.

Good weather all the way into the fourth. Right. Uh, this week. Yeah, it looks pretty good. So, if this is your vacation week, you're looking out until the end of the week and this is where things get sticky and uncomfortable again, temperatures are going to rise and humidity levels are going to come up and the two combined will help produce more showers and thunderstorms. So, we've seen our fair share recently. This is a nice break over the next few days, but Thursday it feels muggy Friday, it's gonna feel uncomfortable and then by the time the weekend rolls around it's going to feel tropical. So, looking ahead in terms of rain, we're not looking at very much high pressures around right now. That's keeping us slightly cooler and more comfortable. There will be a chance of showers and storms Thursday and then more bubbling up towards the end of the week and into the weekend, it's not gonna be raining the entire time. They do look very scattered. But with that increase in humidity and heat, of course, it'll be much easier to get those storms to pop, very comfortable weather through the middle of the week and then things will start to change a little by Wednesday night and Thursday, you may feel the humidity levels come up, but temperatures aren't that low eighties. This is very seasonable for us. Heading into Thursday though Thursday morning, it starts to feel warmer temperatures near Orange. Bridgeport will be in the seventies for the morning. By the afternoon, highs are going to climb well into the eighties talking some middle eighties here, but feeling like the upper eighties and maybe close to 90 degrees on the holiday itself. So if you are going to be out the pool, that will be nice and comfortable, the beach will be a comfortable spot as well. But keep in mind, there could be some thunderstorms popping up and then the same thing on Friday to temperatures will be warmer and it's the feels like temps that start to climb at that point. Looking back on today, the high temperatures weren't bad at all with highs in the seventies and eighties. This was super comfortable stuff and great weather after the storms that we had yesterday. So as we take a look at future casts hour by hour tonight, it's nice and quiet. The sky is mainly clear. Waking up tomorrow morning, we have temperatures in the sixties and then we go up from there. So highs are back into the eighties the next couple of days. It's going to be pretty quiet and calm around here. But then things do start to heat up. Mother Nature tries to bring her own fireworks in for the holiday and I'll be right back with much more on that forecast.

Out of the way, but not really. Especially when the weather's nice. Right. And the weather's gonna be nice tomorrow too. It is, tomorrow is my pick of the week. So that's great. Uh, as we head throughout the week, you will notice it getting warmer, more humid. That especially starts on Thursday for the fourth of July. So right now I have a mix of sun and clouds. 84 degrees. There's an outside chance for a stray shower mostly overnight. So we'll keep an eye on the day. Um, the weather today was perfect. The weather tomorrow will be perfect. Wednesday looks pretty good as well. Starts to change a little bit for the Fourth of July. But right now, at least Thursday looks good Friday. Same thing, kind of partly sunny, very warm and humid and then we could see or likely we'll see some late day showers and storms on Saturday. Doesn't mean you have go canceling any of your outdoor plans just later in the day. We get into the summer pattern. Watch out for those showers and storms to pop up. We look good right now. Clear in Roslyn, Nassau County in Suffolk County. By Manorville. Very nice. A quiet night, clear attempts going down into the low sixties tomorrow morning for that refreshing start to the day, the afternoon. Very nice. We're in the seventies too, near 80. You see all of that sunshine. It stays dry, couple scattered clouds on Wednesday. Still very nice. Just a little bit warmer. The humidity starts to rise and that will get here by Thursday. So Thursday morning is going to be dry, we'll get into the eighties and at that point, it could get a little bit uncomfortable for some people, especially on the north shore. You see our numbers are moving up. So this is Thursday feeling like 84 degrees. Not bad up to about 85 on Friday. This is the forecast for Hicksville feeling like 91. So you see the heat and humidity or Saturday as well. Once we heat up, once we get that higher humidity, there could be some late day storms around tonight. Mostly clear, comfortable, could open up the window, take a break from your air conditioner, not as breezy. It was pretty breezy today. So we have light winds, calm conditions tomorrow. Very nice. T ranging from about 78 to 82 degrees dry through Wednesday. Watching for those storms Friday to Saturday early next week. Not quite as warm.

Fort Lee, beautiful evening around the state. Um, beautiful day. I mean, it's, it stays that way for tomorrow too. We're two for two. We might go three for three with beautiful weather. Temperatures in the eighties, no humidity, lots of sunshine and things start to get a little bit more summery as we get back towards the Fourth of July. And the upcoming weekend, the heat humidity will return temperatures right now at about 74 degrees under mainly clear skies dropping down to about 64. You'll notice the wind direction, it's more northern. So this wind is coming straight from upstate New York and eastern Canada. So there really isn't much humidity, humidity to be had. We'll look for overnight lows to be in the fifties and sixties for tonight under mainly clear skies and for tomorrow, plenty of sunshine to go around with daytime, high temperatures that are going to be in the upper seventies along the shoreline and low to middle eighties. Elsewhere, we could be, I think this particular model might be a degree or two warmer than average. We might be looking at again, temperatures, uh, a little bit below average. It's a it's a lovely day and the winds are going to be south south easterly. So the south facing beaches here from Long Beach Island down towards, you know, Brigantine, you can get towards Atlantic City. That's where you're more than likely going to see a little bit cooler weather there. Water temperatures are still in the uh sixties. But other than that, mainly sunny skies, temperatures go from the sixties through the seventies into the eighties. Just like that. We will notice partly cloudy skies on Wednesday morning, temperatures a little bit warmer still have that southerly influence to the wind. But it's still another lovely day on Wednesday sun and clouds daytime highs, upper seventies and lower eighties. It's on the fourth of July that you're going to notice temperatures rebounding back to the nineties feeling more like the mid to potentially upper nineties depending on how much humidity rolls in. And there will be some scattered storms that we're going to be tracking the day is not a washout. Don't cancel any outdoor plans, don't cancel any fireworks, you know, showing it is going to be an ok day. We just have to keep an eye on how things are going to evolve through the afternoon. Friday. Similar day temperatures again, back up to the nineties and then we're seeing a, a similar forecast on Saturday. Probably not looking for thunderstorms for the second half of the weekend. On Sunday. We'll call it mainly sunny with a high temperature around 92 degrees. There's more details on that forecast coming right up. You'll see what the buzz is about next uh spare bedroom door window. Um.
