You might want to get those umbrellas ready to go on Friday!

You've heard Frankie featured regularly on the Z Morning Show with the storm updates he publishes on his YouTube channel. We like to follow him and let people in on his forecasts whenever Maine has any kind of storm on the way.

No one wants a rainy start to Christmas weekend, but things sure are trending that way. There is a potential for a heavy rainfall with 1 to 2 inches possible, along with some pesky wind.

The fun doesn't stop there however, because it rolls right into Friday night, with yet another inch of rain possibly falling in the area.

As for Frankie, he always gives us a detailed report of what's to come and a list of items needed to get through the storm. It's pretty lengthy and includes winter boots, jackets, hats, gloves, scarfs, and ski pants ready. He also reminds us all to order your pizzas and Chinese food and to buy cases of Pepsi and Coke.

He is adamant about having your Samsung Galaxy Smartphones, Samsung Galaxy Tablets, smartphones, cell phones, laptops and tablets charged and having your 3G, 4G, 5G and LTE Internet ready. When you are driving your car, take your time, and slow down. When you are walking be careful, so you don't slip and fall. Have your furnaces ready to keep the house warm. Drink lots of green tea, white tea, red tea to stay warm. Have extra blankets ready to Keep warm. And of course, have your shovels, snow scoops, snowblowers, snowplows and salt trucks ready.

Got all that?

The Z Morning Show got to talk with YouTube star Frankie MacDonald to let him know we follow him and to ask him what's on the horizon for him, how he started doing videos and about the book he wrote.
