LIFORECAST

Do they have all the errors of Taylor Swift represented? Well, you live with the Swifties. So do you know all the errors? I know there's the red era, the reputation. I don't even know that. And then you got her versions. We'll have a talk so much fun. I'm a huge fan though, so that's gonna be great to check out. We have a lot of nice nights coming up this week and even into the weekend. So you'll be able to get out there and get these into the Swifty spirit, I guess. Um, nice day today we did end off with some clouds. A beautiful photo from Sue in East Moritz. It is nice to see you out, enjoying some of the fresh air. The next couple of days, it's going to be a little bit colder than normal. Our average high is now 48. So tomorrow we're at 46 Wednesday, Thursday, down to about 40 a little bit of a breeze, but it will be nice and dry and then look at Friday, Saturday, Sunday, we're on the rise, but by Sunday when temperatures get close to 60 we are watching our next chance for rain tomorrow. It's dry. Sunny start after 2 to 3 o'clock, scattered clouds start to come in. So definitely a chilly finish to the day tomorrow night Wednesday. Slight chance for a little Sprinkle or flurry. It's out of here by daybreak Wednesday ends up being dry, but cold temperatures struggle to even really get up to about 40 in the afternoon. Thursday is very nice. It's a calm day. It's a chilly day And then on Friday we have sunshine will start to warm up. This is going to be the setup for Sunday. Our next good chance for rain. We have a sharp front coming through. There will be a couple of hours likely in the afternoon. Um, where we could see moderate to heavy rainfall, some gusty winds, the rain will end, then it will be breezy and turning a little bit cooler through the start of next week. So we're just on this roller coaster ride with our temperatures. So overnight, partly cloudy and chilly. 34 we do have a little bit of a breeze out of the northwest. We're in the forties tomorrow when it's a nice sunny start, scattered clouds in the afternoon. 44 Hempstead, 44 in Rocky Point and 43 for you in orient. Coldest days will be Wednesday and Thursday and then Friday, we're back up to 50 weekend. Start of it is nice, but Sunday to Monday.

Gov. Hochul honors first responders from Farmingdale HS bus crash

They risked their lives to save dozens of Children. And today, first responders from the Farmingdale High school bus crash received a special honor from Governor Hole News. Twelve's Kevin Vey is here now to tell us all about that ceremony, Kevin and Joe. This is just so incredibly well deserved. The rescue operation to save those kids was enormous. More than 201st responders were at the scene and today they were recognized as the heroes. They are, they filed in by the hundreds, a long line of police firefighters and EMTS honored for their bravery and heroism. Last month, they made a dangerous descent down a 50 ft ravine off I 84 in upstate Orange County. They rescued 40 Children and two adults from an overturned bus carrying members of the Farmingdale High School marching band. Allow us to think of. You. Allow us to say thank you from a grateful state Governor Kathy Hochul recognized each of the first responders at this ceremony in Albany. Today. Also present the families of the two Farmingdale educators who tragically lost their lives. 77 year old Beatrice Ferrari and 43 year old Gina Pieri, the marching band took to the fields again at homecoming earlier this month, a performance that might not have been possible if it weren't for the quick actions of more than 200 heroes. There are people, mostly the students who are alive today because of your actions in those early most pivotal moments. And that set the tone for an incredible rescue effort. Now, survivors of that crash also attended today's ceremony and it must have just been such an emotional day for them as well as the families of the victims. And the first responders, Joe, just really an emotional day for everybody involved. You can only imagine what they were feeling and the first responders who did such a great job. Absolutely. It was incredible what they did saving all those kids.
