00:00Let's check in with Rochelle now for more in tonight's weather forecast.
00:04Thanks Alicia. Good evening Trinidad and Tobago. It's finally Friday and it's also time for your weather.
00:13Let's take a look at conditions tonight.
00:15Sanpachi showers are expected occasionally through the night with minimum temperatures of 24 degrees in both Trinidad and Tobago.
00:23So question, does your Saturday plans include any outdoor activities?
00:28Because according to the Met Office, tomorrow's sunshine will likely be interrupted by puffy cloudy swells and showers over some areas with isolated showers lingering into the night.
00:40So wherever you're going, let your umbrellas pump with you for the day.
00:44Maximum temperatures are expected at 31 degrees in Trinidad and 30 degrees in Tobago.
00:49And the next couple of days wouldn't be any different with Sunday giving us a few cloudy periods and showers that will interrupt sunshine.
00:58Especially over in Tobago.
01:01There's also a risk of some heavy showers.
01:04Maximum temperatures are expected at 31 degrees in Trinidad and 29 in Tobago.
01:10And on Monday, rubble cloud cover with periods of showers will this time favor Trinidad.
01:15There is a low chance of heavy showers expected with maximum temperatures of 29 degrees in Trinidad and 30 degrees in Tobago.
01:24Now here's when the sun will say hello and then goodbye.
01:28In Trinidad, sunrise is at 629 and it will set at 606.
01:32Over in Tobago, sunrise is at 626 and it will set at 601.
01:37For anyone thinking about taking a dip at the beach, seas will be moderate with waves 2 meters and 2.5 meters in open waters and near 1 meter in sheltered areas.
01:47It's now time for your Thai Times.
02:07Now to update you with what's happening in the U.S., a trailing blast of Arctic air associated with the polar vortex is expected to bring a dangerous refreeze that could create long-duration power outages and paralyze travel for days.
02:23In anticipation for the intense storm, over 2,300 flights have already been canceled across the U.S.
02:30Through Sunday, with thousands more expected to be canceled until early next week.
02:35The storm has set the record for most countries under a winter storm warning.
02:40That number stands at 1,389.
02:43States of emergency have already been declared in 12 states, including Arkansas, Virginia, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee, Missouri, Mississippi, Kentucky, New York, New Jersey, and Kansas, along with Washington, D.C.
03:01Well, that's all for weather tonight.
03:03Don't go anywhere because there's more news when we come back.
