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. Sunday night ending Monday morning, it is a little bit unsettled with this mild weather around, but most of next week now looks pretty good. We'll see a mix of sun and clouds. It will be chilly with highs in the mid forties.

well at the end of the day, it's the only poll that counts. The final tally added up at the ballot boxes and voter turnout always critical to the outcome, especially this year with some key races. News twelve's Antoinette bort continuing our team coverage. She's live in Mineola with a look at how things are in one polling side Antoinette. Well Doug, there's been some very heavy voter turnout here at the Board of elections polling place in Mineola. This is one of 353 polling sites in Nassau County and officials here say for a gubernatorial election droves of people have been coming to cast their ballots all day. Obviously during a press Presidential election year, voter participation is typically higher than midterms, but still many long Islanders tell me it was super important for them to come out to vote. Many of them took advantage of early voting. We saw 100 and 19,000 people who did that. Those who didn't though they came out today to make sure their vote counts. I am glad that people are coming. Even myself. I've only voted four years now four times and that's, I'm a young person. So I know that were like the lowest amount of people voting, right are the young ones. But even us, we want to come out. We want to make these changes. So I'm glad to be here. You feel like paying $4 for gas then you know who to vote for. You know, if you don't want to pay $5 for gas if you want to heat the house. If you want to put food on the table for your Children change the way it's the way things are going. To me. It's quite simplistic. It's called Common Sense, which is not common anymore. Now, board of elections officials tell me that between early voting and numbers for today so far, we've had 383,000 people voting here in Nassau County. There is also 50,000 absentee ballots that are out there as well. Um, and in Mineola will be right back.
