BXFORECAST

Quite the operation they've got over there. Julio. Great. Look at what the post service service has to deal with. You know, what's the saying? Right? Neither rain nor sleet nor snow. That package are going to get it where it needs to go. We don't have any of that in the forecast, but for the mail carriers tomorrow and everybody else to bundle up, I guess. Yeah, the temperatures will be in the mid to upper 30 to start tomorrow and we are seeing some rain and maybe even some festive flakes in the near future. So that's something that we need prepare for as we get through the next couple of days. But 37 degrees mostly cloudy sky that puffer jacket will do you some good and some extra layers and you can grab the tins or the Uggs, some things, they just keep your feet warm because tomorrow's highs really struggle to get to the low forties. This is where we're going by tomorrow afternoon. 4 p.m. feeling like near 32 degrees across the boughs and it gets even colder, waking up on your morning. This is going to be the core of the cold we feel like temperatures will be in the mid twenties. So that's what you need to dress for Thursday morning. And even through the majority of the afternoon, we feel like temperatures will still be in the thirties. It looks like Friday. We have one more cold start to the day and then temperatures really begin to turn around. And we're seeing the fifties back by Friday and even into Saturday, which is going to be the pick of the week. Here's why temperatures will be in the mid fifties. It's gonna feel and look nice to be outside. And we're finally seeing a return of that sunshine that we haven't really been experiencing. So we're also turning the page to Sunday, which is our next day that we're tracking some wet weather. So here's what we know so far, still several days out, we're still fine tuning the timing of the system, but expect some widespread rain wind, some thunderstorms and this can start moving into our area Sunday evening into Monday.

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.
