At least for the evening commute the rain is fairly light. Bethune youre clearly but one thing youre clearly noticing is watch your footing and the drive. Just take it extra slow. It can be a little slippery out there. And this is going to be the rule as we go through with the evening travel. Meanwhile with that said, look at the George Washington bridge. I mean folks are flying along right now. A lot better than earlier in the day. Still some clouds but the visibility isnt terrible. Its down to a mile and a half in a couple of spots and obviously the rain drops hitting the camera lens. Pair of 5s right now east wind 12 to 25 and high today 57 degrees, thats really where we got the soaking, toms river and long branch 63degrees right now and fairly light rain. 57 on the island. 59 in montauk. Evening hours getting steadier. Wind gusts over 20 miles an hour. The rain is departing the scene at 7 00 a. M. But i think we can have it from new york city north and east. For the morning commute it is leaving but still some damp roadways then just mostly cloudy by moon time and hopefully some brightening by afternoon. Still a noticeable northerly breeze. Sow see the heavier downpours over westchester and fair field now. Armonk and riversville and North Greenwich and glenville, connecticut. Thats the only game in town. Other than that, its very, very light. Weve got one batch thats moving into new england and another batch off to our west that will pivot in as we go through the evening hours, its really cool because you can find the storms center. That low is moving away. So that that will take one batch of rain it but theres a second low now thats not too far from cleveland. That has to swing the next batch of rain through this evening. Thats kind of filling in between cleveland and dc. And look at that hitching a ride on the front look closely there. Thats kate. A Tropical Storm kate. Thankfully, getting on to the action late in the game that we dont have any major impact from it. But looking stronger right now with 70mileperhour winds and in fact, it is forecast to become a cat 1 hurricane as it goes into the atlantic and stays that way for a while until it just turns into a regular low. Approaching potentially iceland by the time we go into this weekend. Pretty fascinating there. Into the evening hours rain is more widespread and steadier and i think its heavier north and west. And you have not had much in northern new jersey and the Hudson Valley. You will get your share. Still some rain for the rest of the area, in fact look at the downpour over the east end of long island at 10 00. Then pivoting away clearing is going to be slow. Better chance of clearing south and west of new york city. I think well at least get some brightening and a lifting of the cloud layer and that should get us into the upper 50s to near 60 for our veterans day. Any outtook activities Outdoor Activities were in good shape after the 7 00. A 8 00 hour. Maybe account in some case 9 00 in some cases, by thursday late morning, another batch after occasional light rain comes in and stays with us through much of the day. Going to be light.
