NYC weather: Breaking down potential nor'easter timeline, impacts

Welcome back to this edition of Newsroom Live. I'm Lisa Evers. We are joined right now by Fox 5 meteorologist Lauren Kreidler. And she's been giving us a lot of good news lately. Great weather, wonderful hair weather. Can I keep it up? Yeah, can you keep it up? That's the question. I'm trying. I know you are. I mean, Veterans Day on Wednesday is going to be beautiful. Oh, good. Okay. You know, I'm burying the lead here. Can you tell? I'm like, yeah, it's going to be a beautiful Wednesday. You know, it's beautiful today. You saw it live, Cameron. There's blue skies poking out now. We had some clouds earlier today. Not looking bad. Look at that. Beautiful. I know that one doesn't really show the sky there, but, you know, you get the general idea. It's a beautiful Times Square. Yeah, a nice shot of Times Square. It's a little chilly, though. You know, we're seeing some gusty winds at times, and those winds are going to pick up throughout the day. There we go. Yeah, beautiful. Look at that. Yeah, nice. But a cool and comfortable Monday. Gusty winds stick around for tomorrow, and then rain returns later this week. We haven't had rain for so long. I mean, we did have a little bit over the weekend, but... But not anything like... Like we usually do. Yeah, so it's not going to be bad for the next few days. You know, we'll keep it at that. And then late Thursday into Friday, that's when we have a chance of seeing rain. Okay, so what's happening? Is something moving in here? Yeah, yeah, a northeastern storm. We're not calling it a northeaster just yet, because it may develop, may not. But a northeast storm that is going to be impacting the area, everything online, and we were talking about this before, talking about, you know, is there going to be the potential for snow, you know, upstate? Yes, you know, there could be some snow. But the ground temperature, the temperature is not going to really, you know, be snow, snow worthy as we get towards the end of the week. We're going to see rain. We're going to see rain and gusty winds. You know, not the prettiest. I mean, like, our seven-day forecast, like, you know, it starts out nice. And then, you know, Veterans Day looks great. Okay. You know, 61 degrees. It's actually warmer than normal. And then it's like, okay, even those 50s, I don't even know. Most of our areas won't even reach 50 degrees come Friday, Saturday. We'll stay in the upper 40s for our highs. And see, and the thing with that, too, I always get fooled sometimes. I'm learning. 59 degrees is the high, and usually, like, in the afternoon, right? Yeah. So it's much closer, the reality is much closer to, like, around 50. Yeah, right. Absolutely. Yeah. Like the average of the rest of the day. Yeah. Like two o'clock, it might be 59 degrees. But the rest of the day, it's gonna be a lot colder than that. And, you know, of course, when you when you have the rain factored in that, like Thursday and Friday, in the cloud cover, it doesn't really help. You know, it's not like we're seeing like plenty of sunshine, but 50. So it's, you know, we're starting to be good. Okay. Yeah. But you know, as far as snow goes, upstate has potential things of snow. They do have some potential. Are you excited about that? You know, I don't know. Honestly, these temperatures are a little too cold. I know, I know, I know. I can't say that. I cannot say that. This is too cold? I cannot say that. I know it. But when I was putting those numbers in, I was like, ooh, I don't know about 50s. That's the highs. Oh, no, the Florida blood. Yeah, so, you know. Don't worry, you're becoming a New Yorker. Even like when I wrote much colder, I'm like, is that much colder to a New Yorker? You know, it's much colder to me. But it is much colder than what we... What we've been seeing. We've been seeing like even 70s. I have to say, though, this has really been a gorgeous fall season. Really gorgeous. We're November 9th right now, and we've been having that great stretch of weather. And I've been basing it off of our averages for the tri-state area. Our average should be in the mid to upper 50s. So anything below that, of course, is going to be cooler. But we've been really lucky. 61 degrees, that's not too bad. And you told me before, like the long range prediction, whatever that group is that does the long range thing for this winter, they were saying wetter, but a little bit warmer because last year was really frigid. I'm glad I missed that. I'm sure it was a lot of fun. Yes, you are glad you missed out. That was a good one to be in Florida for. Yeah, but milder, you know, milder temperatures. Again, we've kind of joked around about that, but what does that mean exactly? Well, you know, it's slightly warmer than. Average, so whatever the average is for the time of year, you know, slightly warmer, which we've, I mean, honestly, that's been playing out anyway at the El Nino. We've been seeing that. I mean, October was slightly warmer than average. And the El Nino, again, warms things up? Yeah, it keeps things a little bit more milder for us here. It does keep things wetter as well, so we do have a better chance of seeing rainfall as we head into the wintertime, but, I mean, or snow, any precipitation, you know, but temperatures, though, will be warmer, so, yeah, slightly warmer. So, going into the weekend, I mean, it's only Monday, so things could change by then. Yeah, we're still far enough out. It's only Monday, so keep an eye on the forecast. Of course, our weather team will continue to tweak that forecast, but we're trending cold, we're trending rainy, at least for the end of the work week. As far as the weekend goes, the long-term models are showing a few showers on Saturday, but really, aside from that, it's just going to be the cooler air pushing through in the 30s and, you know. What about the wind? Because the wind yesterday was crazy. The wind today is crazy. I want to see what our current wind gusts are because I showed it during the noon show and we had crazy wind gusts. All of a sudden it was picking up to 30 mile per hour winds. Just really impressive. Do I even have my wind gust graphic here? Let's see. Yeah, no, now you got me. I'm curious. Sorry, I gotta. No, that's okay. We want to know. We're getting the fresh information. I gotta know. Okay, winds, these are sustained winds, so that's not all that high, but that's pretty good, though, considering the fact that it's sustained. You know, the gusts are always higher. Meaning it's not going to be like the sudden ones. Yes, exactly. This is consistent. So we're seeing 22 mile per hour consistent winds, you know, near Long Island. That's pretty good. Um, but I do want to find the wind gusts cause I feel like that's always more, I mean, I just went out to get some lunch and it was, you know, you need like a windbreaker. No, you do. Definitely. And it does make it feel a lot colder. You know, it's, it's not. The wind is always a, yeah, can add a lot to it. So listen, you've been sharing, you've been sharing your. Winterization gear with us. What about the umbrella situation? Have you resolved that? No. Because my umbrella that I have, I used it during the Nor'easter, and it was one that kept flipping up. You know how they go whatever when the wind blows? It doesn't take much. All of a sudden it's upside down or inside out, whatever. And I kept flipping it. I think I need a better umbrella. There's a sturdy... Okay, we'll do that for the next thing. Okay, yeah. I don't know. I was just... While you were talking, I mean, I was paying attention to Newsroom Live. But look, on my phone, I had all about the... No, I typed in cold weather pants woman. Because I'm trying to find, like, fleece-lined pants or something. Yeah, because there's fleece-lined leggings. Because I think I'll need those by the weekend. You can get cute flannel-lined jeans. Flannel-lined jeans? Yes. The jeans are lined with flannel. Are they really thick? Because I feel like jeans are already kind of thick. No, not too thick. No. I love jeans. No modern fabric. Okay. See, we're going to brand recommendations. Yeah, flannel-lined jeans. And then the umbrella that's vented. Vented umbrella. So it stays. It's sturdy. It's a little bit heavier than a regular umbrella. It stays. That's fine, yeah. But then when the strong wind comes, it doesn't blow the whole umbrella up and you get soaked. That's a New York secret. Yeah, we'll show you. You know, having my rain jacket on, that thing just blows all around. You can't, you can't. But yeah, so by the weekend you may, I mean, definitely jacket weather. So bring out those jackets and those rain jackets and those rain boots. You'll get them by the end of the week. All right, cool. All right, Lauren, thank you so much. Of course.
