Too, which is nice. So we're talking about those warmer temperatures for your Friday, maybe a little bit of rain late in the evening, but most of the day will be dry. Uh Let's check out Comack for Friday on Ruth Boulevard 53 degrees. Um It feels quite warm after the cold spell that we've had, we have sunshine in the morning. Clouds will kind of come in and thicken up through the day and rain will arrive after four o'clock, uh mostly in the evening, best time for rainfall around seven o'clock. So it's after dark. Look at our high temperatures for the next couple of days. We are in the fifties through Monday and then it will get a little bit cooler. We'll see some forties for the middle of next week and we have some sunshine on the way. So tonight it's mostly clear. 8 a.m. 38 Glen Cove, a little bit of a chill early on 39 Smithtown, 42 in Riverhead. And you see that warmer weather coming in for the afternoon with the clouds 5 to 6 o'clock, some showers. It's not too bad. It's a light rainfall and it moves through quickly by 10, seven o'clock, it's out of here. Start of the weekend will be dry. But we do notice those extra clouds around for Saturday also Sunday. So Sunday morning, there could be some sprinkles early then a break in the afternoon. You can see it here before more rain arrives at night. So good chance for rain.

East End: Quogue Wildlife Refuge  

All right. We all know life on Long Island can be pretty stressful. Yes. But there is a place on our east end where people and even animals can find a little peace and quiet. Our doug g takes us there. The refuge is basically, it's a hidden gem on Long Island. The quag wildlife refuge is 305 acres. It includes three ponds and lots of wildlife. The mission of this nonprofit is to rehabilitate injured or abandon animals. This is Ollie. He's our eastern screech owl. I didn't know, I don't know if most people knew that that owls were so small. This is full grown, small. Yeah, full grown. But they're really small species that nests in cavities and besides animals that can't be released back into the wild, the refuge will also sometimes take in unwanted pets such as these. This is our bearded dragon. Her name is Libby. You can see all these spikes on the side of their body also help them escape from predators pretty much every day. We get, we get the local visitors that come to go jogging or running executive director. Mike Nelson says there are nine miles of peaceful trails that you can jog or stroll along as you can imagine. It's not cheap, maintaining a property like this and caring for a wide variety of animals, it's free to visit. But the nonprofit does charge for special programs. They also raise money from people who find this unique property. A perfect place to get married, to get out onto the trail and, and discover and explore, you know, all the wonders of nature and then the deer up on the trail and you know, the frogs and the box turtles is definitely a magical place for more information about the Quag wildlife refuge, other fun spots in the area to visit and to see more of my east end segments go to news 12 dot com slash east end in Quag Doug geed News 12 long is.
