LIFORECAST

But on Sunday, we are going to watch showers throughout the day, the worst of this weather will get here at night. So at least that's the good news. Most of the really bad stuff with the heavy rain and strong winds will be overnight Sunday and hopefully we most of us are sleeping through it. So 55 Saturday, 60 on Sunday, but it will get breezy through the day, strong winds by the evening with that heavy rainfall, we could get 2 to 3 inches, maybe more in some spots. So that's some pretty heavy rain. There could be a little bit of flooding in some spots overnight. Sunday, here's a look at your Sunday timeline. The morning is dry, you see the clouds 10 a.m. we could have a spot shower. Most of that rainfall will come in after two, the heavier rain with the big front that's passing by will come in after eight o'clock. So especially around midnight, that's when we could see the worst of it. So Saturday looks nice. It's partly sunny, it's warmer. We're in the fifties. Temperatures are about 10 degrees above normal. And by Sunday morning we start the day in the fifties, we're going up close to 60. This is two o'clock in the afternoon and we do see these showers popping up so they'll be hitting. You have to expect some wet weather on Sunday. But this big front that will bring the heavy steadier rain is off to our west until about eight o'clock in the evening. Slowly passing by overnight. This is 2 to 3 a.m. and we have that heavy rainfall with the strong winds in Suffolk County trekking towards the east end Monday morning and then it will get out of here during the height of that heavy rain. We could see winds gusting 40 to 50 MPH, but.

fans are used to rallying around their team will now they're rallying around a fellow fan and trying to help save her life. Sports Director Kevin Maher has the story, Madison santa electro and her boyfriend Alex have spent the last few weeks at ups arena rooting for two things. The Islanders, I definitely love them, the fans are amazing and for someone to help Madison after reading her sign, asking for a kidney donation, you don't realize it until it affects your family or you don't realize how many people actually do need organs out there, Madison needs it because she's battling kidney failure for the second time, a transplant she had five years ago is no longer working, forcing her into dialysis three days a week but her sign is working definitely overwhelming. I never expected any of this to happen. That's because Madison has an army of isles fans trying to help what's going on from the famous sign guy to the blue and orange army, a loud and loyal bunch that's spreading Madison's story and sign all over social media, it's a heartwarming story and we just felt like if we could get the word out there, maybe we could just help her get some of the help that she needs until they came about. I haven't really gotten much recognition. So I think they definitely have helped a lot of power. Yeah, yeah, they know a lot of people. In fact Madison says she's getting calls from people in Canada texas Missouri all willing to help, there's no match yet, but thanks to her sign and her adopted army, she's armed with a lot of positivity definitely seems like someone is out there. That's going to hopefully be able to help. So if you're at an islander game and you see Madison stop by and say hello and she also has an email address, Madison's kidney at gmail dot com. And ranger fans, you can help to write in Ridge kevin Maher News 12. Alright, let's hope she gets some help.
