It's gonna cool down again in the 10 day. Let's talk about the bigger issue, which is going to be the rain tomorrow. So we do have cloudy skies all weekend, obviously a fog out there this morning too. So that's creating some visibility issues. But on Sunday, it is a steady rain for a good chunk of the day. So today is the pick out of the weekend. There'll be some peaks of sunshine this afternoon around lunch, but not much of it. Temperatures are in the mid ff maybe even upper fifties if we get enough sunshine, but I would not count on the sun. It's gonna be a possibility that we, you got a few breaks in the clouds, but most of the day is pretty cloudy. This is 5 p.m. the sun is already set and temperatures are still in the fifties. So you don't need the heavy winter jacket. Just a light jacket. Today will do dinner time is mainly dry, but after 89 o'clock, there could be some spritzes and stray showers. It's a all day full LG wash out on Sunday, light rain in the morning, check this out. Temperatures are in the fifties in the morning, that's above average for the afternoon at this point in the year. But we don't warm up on Sunday. It's gonna stay 50 all day with this very persistent, very steady and very damp rain that just sticks around until I'd say about six o'clock or so. So, if you have any brunch lunch, early dinner plans Sunday, I just don't see a lot of opportunity for dry time for you here. So we're gonna keep that in mind. Temperatures are not bad all the way through Monday. We're hanging out in the fifties. Today's high of 56 is the warmest that we've actually seen since mid November morning. Lows are in the forties, so no worries about frost. No worries about cold when you're stepping out the door. Tuesday morning, we're back down to 36. So that's kind of setting the stage for a cooler upcoming work week, 46 there, 43 on Wednesday and 42 on Thursday. It's not the coldest set we've seen, but it is definitely pretty chilly for that first night of Hanukkah. Expected to definitely feel like it is December, but we rebound a little bit next weekend with another chance for some rain. Just a little heads up on that. But the work week does look dry. Not that we want to talk about the work week on a Saturday, but that's how it's shaping up

Students at districts all across Long Island. They are heading back to school this week, back to school and the Center reach school district has some changes starting this year. Our Jen Selig is live at Center reach High school to explain those changes and talk to everyone about getting back on that first day, Jen. Yes, we spoke with students, the principal faculty and now we're here with the superintendent, Doctor Gerald. Thank you so much for joining us this morning. I know you are busy making your rounds across the district, welcoming 9400 students back. How are you feeling pretty excited? There's nothing better than the first day of school. It just the excitement and the energy and the want to learn and just, it's just so joyful. So I'm feeling great. Thank you for sure. And we're talking about a lot of changes including bus safety. Uh bus safety is huge, so huge, so huge. A couple of years ago, our bus drivers were telling us stories about how they would stop to let kids off the bus and people would like zoom by and there were numbers of them almost misses and it was scary for them. And the law has always been in place that you're supposed to stop for a stop school bus, but it really wasn't happening. And our priority in schools is to make sure that kids are safe, that they get to school safe and once they're in school they're safe. So bus safety is extraordinarily important. It starts from getting out of the house going on to the bus and then also changes inside the classroom, what you mentioned earlier. Oh, well, there's a lot going on in middle country where we're paying close attention to students and staff feeling as though they belong and they matter because if you feel like you belong, if you're part of a system and if you matter, if your words matter, your thoughts matter, your learning matters, you can do anything. So we're working very, very hard on that. Every single kid in our school district, every single person in our school district belongs in matters and we're going to work at making sure they understand that and they know it very important. I think we're excited for the school year ahead. I know a lot of changes. A lot of excitement. You will be here later on today during that press conference with other officials. So of course, we'll stick around for that and send it back to you guys in the studio.
