Strong Wind Gusts Possible Overnight

As a low pressure system over the Great Lakes brings us rain showers tonight, it will also bring strong southerly winds overnight. Winds will gust 30 to 40mph at times in some locations through the overnight. A few isolated down trees or powerlines can't be ruled out. Winds will remain gusty on Monday, but not as strong, out of the west/southwest... gusting up to 25mph. You can find more details on the Special Weather Statement from the National Weather Service, on our previous post:

Weather update

Good afternoon everyone ☕️
Hope everyone is doing well

There will be rain 🌧️ arriving tonight (Sunday) after 8pm and exiting the entire HVW area around 8am Monday morning. This will be an all rain event for both the valleys and higher terrains as temps will not be cold enough (32°) to support any frozen ❄️ precipitation. There will be fog from now through till it rains tonight.

Estimated rain totals can range from 0.43” to 0.73” and will vary in all of the HVW area meaning it’s not going to be more totals in southern counties than northern counties, etc. Please see the graphics on the estimated rain totals.

Even though temps will not be cold enough to support any frozen precipitation, I’ve read in some comments that some people still have ice on their driveways and some walkways, so, please still exercise caution when driving or walking and prevent accidents or slip and falls .. just keep it in mind.

Looking ahead to the next weather event .. yes, you guessed it, rain. Temps again not cold enough to support any frozen precipitation yet. Timing on this rain event couldn’t get much worse, around 10pm Tuesday night, New Years Eve into Wednesday afternoon, New Years Day 2025 🎉

This includes NYC, Times Square where the ball drops .. But like Bill had mentioned in his Fireside Chat last night (please see his post with video), there could be that slight chance where the precipitation could be a little sooner by an hour or two giving just enough time for a rain free ball drop (meaning rain ends just before). Time will tell .. just have to check back for the latest weather updates as we will be keeping an eye on this.

As the ole saying goes, always have to look at the bright side, in this case, at least it’s not ice 🧊 and snow ❄️ as some people will be traveling, even though we’d love to see snow .. but that will possibly arrive soon. Another saying is, turn those lemons into lemon 🍋 juice 😃

We hope everyone has an awesome night and stay dry and safe

Icing reports starting to roll in, remember it’s been very cold, even as the air temps eclipse 32° degrees, surfaces may be slower to respond and still below 32°. What appears to be liquid rain is actually freezing on contact with any surface below 32°. Give it a few hours before traveling, be mindful of those front steps, sidewalks and driveways. Please continue to share your observations on both here and HiveStorm so we can help each other make informed decisions.
