Heavy rain, wind hazardous travel all in the cards as we go into the afternoon and evening through early Monday morning. So what are we looking at all that wind? All that rain is already coming across much of the western portions of Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia. And as it moves towards our neck of the woods, we are going to be seeing a lot more of this rain coming across the region, giving us some hazardous travel. If you are going to be going out anywhere, do it early this morning, going to see gusty winds, periods of rain starting around lunchtime into the afternoon and evening. The worst though going to be this evening, the wind swept, soaking rain gusts up to 30 to 40 plus MPH and that rain will be steady and heavy into your Monday morning. Still real windy and will dry out. Some of the model guidance is showing yes snow, but I think it's mainly just be colder, drier air, not enough of it to produce some of those snowflakes. So we are just looking at mainly rain. That's the big threat, especially Northeastern New Jersey from Woodbridge up to Ridgefield Park, looking at flash flooding, underpasses roads, small streams drains. Everyone could see this, especially tidal flooding as well into Ocean County and eastern Monmouth County as well. The system bringing lots of rain and moisture coming from the coast as well as from Appalachia that's pushing in towards our neck of the woods, giving us the potential for 2 to 4 inches of rain. The turnpike corridor looks to be the hardest hit as we go into your Monday with gusty winds, 30 to 40 MPH, secure those trash cans anchor down the holiday decorations as well because we are going to start to see this come in around lunchtime, scattered showers and downpours. Then towards 45 o'clock, heavy rain from Middlesex County all the way down to Camden. Still some showers up towards the 78 and 80 corridors. Then come at 78 o'clock. That's, we're going to see all that heavy rain come through the region and that will be lingering into the early morning hours as highs today. Fifties and sixties rain wind. But then going to be seeing those cooler temperatures come across the region.

Welcome back when you hear that sound, you know what that means. We're on storm watch with storm watch team, meteorologist Christy Campana. So Christy, we know the rain is coming, but that's not all right. Yeah. No, we can't rule out any gusty winds either. And those two combined really create for a messy kind of system that's headed our way. And like we said, 2 to 4 inches of rain is expected and that majority is gonna be overnight tonight and that can create some problems for your morning commute if there is localized flooding, which like we said, we can't rule out, but let's go straight to it and see, you know, an hour by hour where the system is coming in and this is two o'clock today. So we see the system just approaching here for the afternoon and we could see some batches of heavy downpours throughout the afternoon. But the majority of this is going to be a little bit later. This is 3 p.m. We see this light to moderate rain, these yellow colors really on the outskirts of the city and then maybe a break here and there by around five o'clock your dinner time. But then the majority of this hits around 8 to 10 o'clock and we see this orange, yellow and red and this is our more moderate, steady and even heavy rain that is headed our way and that's to continue overnight for your overnight hours. And that majority of it just past 1 a.m. two AM, we see it start to get slightly lighter around then and then by 6 a.m. we see it really start to push off and push out to the ocean and it clears up just a bit. We can't rule out a lingering shower until around seven or 8 a.m. And then it clears up really by mid to late morning and we could see even the sun come back out around your mid to mid morning to afternoon before the sunset, which is a good thing, but that flooding can still stick around and that comes with these gusty winds. So sustained winds of around 15 to 20 miles an hour and this is 8, 30 twenties we're seeing and then uh change in direction. This becomes a north wind as it's passing and we could see up to 3040 miles an hour. So really take anything in outdoors and just be cautious through the next couple of days. And let's take a look at 10 day forecast. We are in storm watch overnight. We're gonna see heavy rain, gusty winds and that breezy and those gusty winds continue a bit into your Tuesday. It's gonna be breezy but the sun is out and temperatures are back to seasonable for the rest of the week.

For another look at your hyper local forecast as we continue to watch the storm heading into our area. And Alex, I'm seeing some parts on this map showing that snow is expected in some parts of the Hudson Valley on the back end of it, Nadia. Tomorrow morning, we will have a couple of flakes fly and yeah, even some accumulating snow weight of the north and west. But let's first talk about the rain coming in our direction this afternoon. It's still tucked away pretty far to our south. And so we're good here in the Hudson Valley for the morning. We have some areas of fog, but we also have some areas of sunshine. So we'll take it. And certainly if you have any plans before noon, you're good to go. Wind is pretty light for the first part of the day. You would have no idea that a storm was coming except for the fact that it feels a little different out there, it feels a lot warmer than it usually is. This time of the year, we even have temperatures in the fifties in some spots this morning that above average for the afternoon when the afternoon arrives. Now we're starting to kick in some showers. This is two o'clock, four o'clock. Look, we've got some rain passing through at six o'clock still and we continue to see the rain pretty much all through the evening. Some of the worst of the rain will be eight to about midnight or so tonight, it's also quite breezy, 20 to 30 mile per hour wind gusts. You factor in several hours of rain and now you've got some trees coming down, release some branches and that could knock out power. Here's four o'clock in the morning. If you're a really early commuter, you're still dodging rain. And if you're in Sullivan and Ulster County, the high elevations of Ulster County, we're looking at cold enough temperatures for a few snowflakes and then a few flakes will mix in 6 a.m. But at this point, things are drying out. It does stay breezy pretty much all day Monday. In fact, some of the worst wind will be with the sunshine Monday afternoon. I wanna show you two different models here. This is one model showing you the rain all the way up to midnight about an inch or so in White Plains and Yonkers and then it picks up to two inches but notice how close we are to that really heavy rain over Connecticut and Long Island. This other model actually will bring in some of that heavier rain off to our east. I'm gonna show it to you coming up on the other side of the break. But I also wanna show you the winter storm warning in effect for the higher elevations of Ulster County and the advisory in effect for Sullivan. I thought that was kind of important to get to. So I will show you the difference in the rain totals coming up. But a little more good news once we get through Monday, it's totally dry for work week.

LIFORECAST

More than 3 million Americans suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome. That's according to a Friday report from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It found that 1.3% of adults had chronic fatigue syndrome between 2021 and 2022. The new findings place a sharp focus on the disease as it determined that far more people suffer from chronic fatigue than previously estimated. Researchers noted that these numbers may represent an undercount due to the impending storm this afternoon. The Oceanside Fire Department has announced Santa's annual visit has been postponed. The new date will be next Sunday, December 17th, starting at 4 p.m. They are telling residents to check out their social media on that day of the event for more updates. All right time. Now for another look at your hyper local forecast as we continue our storm watch coverage this morning and Alex, these uh graphics have been running all morning very concerning a lot of red on there. And the problem is how long that red, that heavy rain stays in some neighborhoods. So we're going to have to really keep an eye on things late this afternoon. But this morning is not bad. So get out, enjoy all the way through noon time. The later part of the afternoon is when those two to maybe up to four inch rainfall to push through. We have gusts of wind 40 to 60 MPH after sunset, especially. And until after midnight, street flooding expected some power outages expected. So, especially if you're in a neighborhood that's really prone to power outages. You got to make sure that you have your backup in hand and yeah, the wind isn't really too bad this morning. We even have some peaks of sun early this morning. So it is a great opportunity to just sort of do the check around the yard and make sure you don't have things that are going to fly around this afternoon and to get your errands done because people have things to do on a Sunday. So we're good until noon time. But then things pick up two o'clock or so, it's still really not a wash necessarily at this point, but you will need the umbrella then three and four o'clock. That's when some of this heavy rain sets in. We could hear some rumbles of thunder with this too. Temperatures are really climbing. We're close to six degrees as the sun sets. This is way above average for temperatures and six o'clock, it is still raining. 78 o'clock, we still have rain. So we have a long stretch of several hours of rain and then the wind kicks in too. Look at 10 o'clock, your wind gusts are at 40 MPH across parts of the island. We'll have some gusts up to 50 as we close off the evening. It's going to be kind of hard to fall asleep to this three in the morning. Some of the wind pushing through the Hamptons in the east end and then it clears out for Monday morning. There will be some showers for the morning commute. It'll still be breezy, but it won't be a flood risk at that point. Although there could still be some flooding from whatever residual happens today through noon. Look, we do have some rain on the map but nothing flooding wise until the late afternoon, we'll pick up about an inch or so by four o'clock and here's the concern. The models have been painting this, all of them consistently. There's an area either somewhere in Nassau, Western Suffolk, maybe central Suffolk where a line of storms set up and bring maybe 2 to 5 inches of rain. It could possibly be toward Connecticut or it could be here on the island. So we're keeping an eye on things through the evening time where both storms set up. We have some problems the rest of the work week, totally dry. But Breezy through Wednesday.

And we remain on storm watch because we are getting ready for things to change a lot heading into tomorrow. Meteorologist Crystal Ellis is here. So, Crystal, what do we need to know about the timing of what's heading our way? It's gonna be the afternoon is when things really start to ramp up and into the evening hours and especially the late overnight hours. So as we look at our planner overnight tonight, we're just dealing with some patchy fog throughout the area that's gonna to diminish the visibility just a bit as we look towards Sunday, we'll have scattered showers around in the morning, the rain and wind will pick up especially in the afternoon and especially by Sunday night, that's when we will have some heavy heavier rain, more steady and widespread and the stronger winds will be around as well. So definitely not the most pleasant end to your weekend. Let's take a look at it on the future cast. Here we are tomorrow morning, those winds between 515 MPH, not a big deal until we get into the late morning afternoon and again into the nighttime hours. So scattered showers around. Although there's some pockets of heavy downpours in the late morning hours and into the afternoon. So more scattered, more steady to widespread rain picks up in the afternoon. And then the heavy downpours really get widespread as we step into tomorrow night and the evening and check out these wind gusts around 11 pm, 31 MPH in New City, 26 New Yorktown Heights. So we're definitely going to be feeling the wind and the wet weather could lead to flooding. Maybe some power outages. Definitely, some tree limbs could be brought down with that wind. As we look at the backside of the storm. By Monday morning, we'll have wraparound showers and the winds will still be around. We could even see some wet snowflakes sneaking in as that northwest wind flow brings in colder air. So for the second half of your Monday, we'll clear things out. It's going to stay pretty blustery out there though. Again, Monday afternoon will be about 25 mile per hour wind gusts. Let's check out this 10 day forecast. We are in storm watch for tomorrow afternoon into tomorrow night and Monday morning before clearing things out for the rest of your work week will be feeling cold like December highs in the low forties but remaining dry.

We're looking at. Yes, lots of rain coming our way. So definitely be careful if you're going out this afternoon and evening. We are looking at that chance for flash flooding all across Western Connecticut with gusts up to 30 to 50 MPH. So what does that mean? Power outages anchor down those holiday decorations and with the chance of flooding, if you do see any of that high water, remember to turn around. Don't drown. What are we looking at for the afternoon showers pushing in from 1 to 3 heavy stuff riving three or four, then we are going to be seeing those scattered showers and downpours the steadier, heavier rain after sunset towards 910 o'clock. This is when we could see that flood potential gusty winds as well as lightning and thunder with this. And on the back side could even see maybe a snow flake or two in the higher elevations of Litchfield County come Monday morning with those temperatures dropping from the fifties and sixties today, forties into your Monday 42 Tuesday, maybe a flurry or two on Wednesday with drier weather through the rest of the work week. That's a look at your hyper local forecast.

Fitness in Four: Get stronger and break a sweat

Now for fitness in four and we are wrapping up this week of movement and I would venture guess that this is probably the plane of movement that people neglect the most transverse plane. Yes, that's where you cross your midline, right? Some people cross the midline without even knowing they're doing it or not intentional. So we want to make sure that everyone understands that crossing the midline, not only engages your obliques, but also your glutes, your lower abdominals, upper abdominals, the whole body. You want to be able to move in every direction we need to move this 1, 3d, 3d baby. Ok. So the first one we're going to do is let's just do a simple court one, right? So we did the lateral lunges and the forward and back lunges. So now it's Cursey. So we're just crossing the midline, we're hiding one knee behind the other. Again, we're taking the opposite arm across, working in opposition or contralateral with the upper body and lower body, keeping your chin up chest high abs tight and you should almost, I mean, kind of create a picture of like you need so elegant and you're, and you're really doing like an actual courtesy. Right. Anybody else I would curtsey. Right. I would to you. Oh, ok. Right here. Let's pick up a set of weight. You have weights at home. You can take a set of water bottles or cans or anything you have and we'll just do a simple clean and for upper body. So we're going to curl up and press and target with rotation, bringing it back down, center, curl it up and press and rotate. So here you feel it like a little push in the leg. That's what I wanted to talk about it. How that's different than say a squat. So in a squat, you'd be coming down and deep here, you're just adding that little bit of momentum, a little bit of extra power behind your process. And you've got also a little bit of by that there in the beginning shoulders. And of course, we're targeting those abs and obliques in that rotation. So as we do this, work out, how many of each are we going to do? I would start with 8 to 10. And then as you progress, you could either go heavier with your weight or your load and extend your time to something a little bit more like 12 to 15 reps. OK? Something like that. How much we also going to target the a this move? We're going to get some shoulders so we can come down onto the floor and you can do this loaded on your hands. If you have any wrist issues, you can keep your weight so that your wrists are in a neutral position or do it on your knuckles, you'll look really tough. So this way, I flip your ring inside onto your knuckles and we're just gonna take the knees across. So a basic mountain climber would be pulling your knee center, but to make it in transverse plane, you wanna take them across to the opposite elbow and I'm keeping this on my knuckles, you look so tough. And when we talk about alignment for this, you know, our shoulders, our wrist, you have a great alignment. You wanna keep that those hips neutral down in line with the rest of your spine. So if you feel yourself almost going into like a downward dog, I want to be right and keeping your core nice and tight and your elbows are slightly better. And, and what about the timing of that? Do I want it to be that quick and get that cardio hit? That depends on your range of motion with your knees, how far you can go and how quickly you can move the fitness level type of thing. So you're just starting out, try it nice and slow, just take it across and actually doing it slower. You'll really be able to feel how it engages your oblique, right. And if somebody has some, see, yeah, somebody has some upper body issues or they're not great about getting off the floor. You could do this, you do this and have that rotation, have that twist, but do the whole thing. Stand right. All right, great. And if you have some workout that you love and you want us to try, just scan that QR code so we can find out about it. This is the well helping you live life better.
