With the forecast and more. Okay. Its going to be about the cold air. I think the cold air is going to be the biggest story ahead. Lets check in with my weather watchers out there for temperatures right now. Temperatures currently out there, 64 degrees, this comes to us from les in little next. Thats where you should be this time of the year. So temperaturewise, pretty much normal. Okay . More cloud cover than you would have wanted but right now we have a sunnier looking sky and the picture is good looking. Heres my shot right now with the clouds overhead and blue sky. Its a cool looking sky because of the sunset there. Youre getting the the rays reflecting off the clouds and you just get a pretty looking shot that sorts of light under the underbellies. Its just nice looking out there now. So more clouds earlier so better looking picture. 69 was the high 65 normal. So a little above average but right in line. Well have cooler afternoons as you move forward for the next few days, certainly right through your weekend and some really cold early mornings.

A lot of that not making its way down to the surface, okay . Look, is it an impossibility to see a little sprinkle north or west tonight . Its not an impossibility. I just dont think its the biggest part of the forecast. That will be dictated by this low and the counterclockwise circulation around it. You take the low around the hudson bay and it will be a north wind to our area so we are going to remain cool. The atmosphere is kind of blocked right now. This is not really going anywhere. This is going to be the source of our weather. It has the little bicycle spokes like around the hub of a wheel and we have one passing through right now a couple of little showers i showed you up around sullivan county. And theres another one back here this will stream through the area on friday. Theres a slight chance maybe you pick up a little bit of rain out of that on friday but the chances are looking lower and lower as it looks like any rain thats going to drum up will go north of the area but i keep a little rain chance in for friday and its going to be more about the temperatures so for your day tomorrow a little cooler than today but right on target for where we should be at 65 degrees with a overhead. Across the board look, get ready for cooler air but i do believe you will see a warmer surge of air come back by the time you get to the end of next week. 65 degrees for your thursday. Chance for shower on friday. 61 tuesday. 65 wednesday. Some folks are seeing wednesday is 70. So well keep an eye on that possibility. Thank you. Mets headed back to warm southern california.
