LIFORECAST

Little bit of flurries today. Nothing more than that. Just a little bit. Yeah. And there's going to be just enough warm air that it may mix with a rain drop or two. But that's one of the things we're going to be watching. The big story is the cold weather coming in. The highs are going to be below average out there for today out the door this morning on our Wednesday, upper twenties to low thirties. It's cold up right now. 2937 Smithtown, 34 and hemp said 33 degrees. Good morning, Valley. Stream out the door. It's cold. Hey, if you got to walk the dog today out the door, here you go. Eight o'clock 37 bundle up. It's cold, noon time to 11 o'clock around 42 o'clock this afternoon, 41 degrees. And again, there's gonna be a slight chance of rain or snow shower with that flurry or a Sprinkle coming in. Again, most of us are going to be dry today, but that threat is there of a little bit of moisture flying through the air this afternoon right now. We have some of that north and west we're dry, we have some breaks in the clouds right now. Otherwise it's going to be more clouds and sunshine. You can see this right here at around 145. The little specs on the weather map, that's our little quick, little rain or snow shower or a flurry or a Sprinkle, but it's cold. Take a look with me at 145 temperatures only around 39 degrees for most of us And we top out to a high of 41. When you look at our 10 day forecast, when we have the high temperatures, that's for a part of the day, not all day long. So when we get a high of 41 most of the day today will be in the thirties. You can see around 345 again, a quick little rain or snow shower coming on through the evening rush hour starting to dry out skies will clear overnight. It's gonna be cold into your Thursday morning. Lows are in the mid twenties. So around 30 degrees tomorrow morning and in any sunshine on Thursday morning goes to clouds and in, during the afternoon hours of Thursday, once again, a chance of a spotty rain or snow shower. Here's three o'clock on Thursday, look at those temperatures mid thirties. So today and tomorrow it's cold before the warm up, warm up coming towards the weekend. But also it gets wet Sunday afternoon through Sunday night, there's a storm coming our way we could have some heavy rain, gusty winds. This is going to impact those holiday decorations or holiday plans. Sunday evening into early on Monday morning, some wind gusts around 40 possibly 50 MPH. Sunday night into Monday morning, highs today, low forties, mostly cloudy skies this afternoon. That spotty rain or snow showers, skies clear tonight. It's cold with lows into 2050 Friday. 54 Saturday looks nice rain coming in Sunday night and a Monday morning.
