STORM WATCH: Gusty thunderstorms Friday lead to significant weekend temperature plunge in Brooklyn

Thank you. You know what else is cool? Those temperatures this weekend. It'll be very cool. Cold and good. And unfortunately, it's going to take some strong storms to get there. So yeah, but not the most pleasant end to the work in school week. But things have been all right so far this week. I mean, today's been beautiful. The rest of tonight is just fine. It does. We get very, very late into tonight, even early parts of our Friday. We're going to see that first round of showers and storms. Then there's an additional round to expect. But most of the day, believe it or not, will be on the dry side. There's a nice dry period, but we do have those rain chances throughout portions of Friday it dries out into early Saturday which is good news because then the majority of the weekend looks to be on the dry side does it mean we could still have some rain this weekend early Saturday unfortunately yes that trend continues but taking a look at this as we work our way into early parts of Friday we're going to have our first round of rain some showers some downpours possible wind picks up throughout the day and continues to intensify as we head into our evening here's where we get into trouble Between these rounds, there's going to be a break in the clouds. That's going to allow that sunshine to filter through. And however much sunshine we get, that's going to add fuel to this line of storms that move through later on in the day, potentially juicing them up into a severe level, which could mean damaging gusts, heavy downpours, could mean lightning. So we're going to be keeping a close eye on this through the second half of tomorrow. Now this moves through, showers continue into the overnight and early parts of our Saturday. Then it dries out, but the wind doesn't go away. We are still gusty throughout our Saturday, and that's when those temperatures drop a whole lot. So that's going to make things feel very cold. But want to be mindful of your severe weather risk during especially the second half of your Friday. The potential for damaging gusts and lightning, we'll be tracking all of it.
