LIFORECAST

At least we'll have that sunshine to kick off your Thursday. So in the morning, we're in the twenties in the afternoon, Kings Park 41 degrees. It will become mostly cloudy again. Uh Tomorrow is very similar to today. We could have a couple of flurries in the afternoon, not a big deal. And then we have sunshine and warmer weather on the way. Look at our numbers the next few days. They're on the rise, especially Saturday to Sunday, Sunday. We are near 60 degrees, but our weather will slow, go downhill through the day. So at the bus stop in the morning, 28 heading home from school 42. With that passing flurry, you can see that we are dry to wake up. The blue color is showing you that cold weather in place. Three o'clock in the afternoon. We have those thirties to near 40 at night into Friday morning, not as cold thirties. And then we get up into the upper forties nearing 50 by Friday afternoon. It's dry with more of a southwest wind. Saturday is my pick of the week. It will be beautiful, sunny and warm Sunday starts out dry with some sun, the breeze out of the south will pick up through the day. Late afternoon. There may be a very brief shower, but you see most of the rain is just sitting off to our west throughout the day and it will approach late in the evening. This is nine o'clock. We have that rain in New Jersey to New York City on our door up most of the rainfalls overnight. So most of us will be sleeping through it. It could be heavy at times with gusty winds and it's out of here by Monday morning, Monday afternoon will improve, but we'll have some lingering gusty winds. So get ready for a cold night. We see those warming temperatures through the weekend with that rain. Sunday night, Monday morning could be a little bit wet and windy with sunshine.

Holbrook family's purple lemonade stand raises money for Alzheimer's research

A Holbrook family is counting the cash that they've raised for Alzheimer's awareness, New 12 Photojournalist Thomas Schar takes us behind their signs and the reason for their purple lemonade stand, we're basically selling lemonade for um a cause called Alzheimer's. We're raising money for Alzheimer's because my mom's dad got Alzheimer's and he died before I was even born. So I never got to meet him. And it was very sad. We are honoring and raising money. This is actually the 10 year anniversary um of my dad passing. He didn't get to meet his granddaughters. We do whatever we can to help find a cure because no one should have to go through this. I really, really miss my grandpa. You know, I never got to meet him. He died when I was one or two. So I didn't really get to know him at all. So it's like it feels really nice to like raise money. It's important for them to understand, you know, what the Alzheimer's association does and how much money they put into research, what we do a walk every year. We're doing it in September. Now, we try to make it a big thing. We try to do purple wigs and purple lemonade and purple everything because, you know, it is very, very sad, but it is also something that we need to bring awareness to whatever way we can. It's heartbreaking and we have to do something to end it one cup at a time. Ola family says their lemonade stand raised $500 last year. And that Alzheimer's Association annual walk is in East Meadow on October 1st.
