LIFORECAST

Forecast. We're in storm watch. Not for today, not for tomorrow, but Alex says for Sunday. Absolutely. I mean, look at this, this morning, we've had some pretty good sunrises this week. I know Ben, you know what? We've been enjoying them inside where we're not freezing cold. That's the problem on the beach. I know, you know, Mother Nature just has his way of giving us some beautiful sunrises when it's really uncomfortable outside. But let's talk about the jump into the forties that we're expecting by mid morning. It is warmer at 9 a.m. today at 40 than it was at point yesterday. Yesterday, we only hit 39 for a high today. We're expecting 47 Glen Cove Hempstead, Huntington, Smithtown all the way to Riverhead. We are all in the mid forties across the island today. Tonight, we drop into the mid thirties, but we're actually back in the forties by Saturday morning, we're looking really warm on Saturday, but clouds will build very quickly. So expect Saturday to be generally cloudy with just peaks of sun temperatures in the mid f by 10 o'clock in the morning. And we're expecting in those mid fifties all day Saturday. Ok, let's talk Sunday because that is definitely what's on everybody's mind right now. And we have got some showers passing through around noon time on Sunday. You see, winds aren't really too bad at this point, but the rain will be heavy at times. Sunday afternoon, the morning should be mainly dry with just sprinkles. But the middle part of the day, we're already seeing showers and we're expecting another round of rain to come as you had to sleep on Sunday. So you see dinner time, maybe break in the rain. But then 12 o'clock in the morning, now we've got rain and on top of that, some pretty gusty winds. I do think some of the mole guidance is overdo it with some gusts up to 50 MPH. But it is possible. I'm thinking closer to 30 to 40 MPH. That's more than enough to get the Christmas decorations blown across the street. And we also have to worry about how much rain we're going to see. So, through five o'clock on Sunday, it's pretty manageable, about half of an inch at the most toward Nassau County. But look at this plume of heavy rain right now, the GFS Mogg sets it up just to the west of the city, but that red is over three inches of rain. So where the heaviest rain sets up, we're just gonna have to kind of fine tune it as we get a little closer. The European Mole has 1 to 2 across the island. It looks like the farther west you go, the better that heavy rain risk is going to be. But the wind is for everybody. By Monday morning, things are starting to calm down and we're looking cool and dry for next work week. All right. Thank you. All.

Check out the legacy of Long Island’s railroad history at the Oyster Bay Railroad Museum  

There is a small museum on the North shore that preserves the legacy of Long Island's railroad history. It's a rich history to our Angela Cascarano takes us there on this week's road trip close to home. On this road trip. Close to home, we had to the Oyster Bay Railroad Museum, a historic landmark that's considered president Theodore Roosevelt's presidential train station. We're in the 18 89 station building and the exciting thing about this structure is that it was renovated in 19 02 for the presidency of Theodore Roosevelt and it's a beautiful uh station with the cathedral ceilings inside the museum. You can check out dioramas like these. This is a historic Oyster Bay Railway. It dates back to the early 19 hundreds. This collection of lanterns was used by train conductors and engineers to signal to each other to move the train, keep it in place or proceed in a certain direction. Remember getting home from the train and meeting a ride and running into a phone booth. Well, they have one here too. You can check it out. This is an original bell from a steam locomotive in 1928. The experience here at the museum is going for a ride on the locomotive turn table. Part of the museum's rich history is checking out these old train locomotive. This one was part of the 1964 New York World's Fair where people were able to get in and take a photo of the Bay. Railroad Museum is open on the weekends through November for this road trip. Close to home. I'm Angela Cast News 12 Long Island. And today the town of Oyster Bay will dedicate a part of Audrey Avenue in Oyster Bay in memory of President Theodore Roosevelt. Very cool. That ceremony will take place at 12 30.
