LIFORECAST

I'm meteorologist Rich Hoffman. You're hyper local weather forecast. After the wet weekend, we had a dry morning with a lot of sunshine. Now, throughout the rest of our day, increasing clouds, it will become mostly cloudy and it is a bit breezy winds westerly at 10 to 15 MPH and it's mild. Temperatures are a few degrees above average and high temperatures today are in the fifties tonight, 34 degrees clouds evening. So heading out this evening, temperatures, mid forties and then by the time you wake up on your Tuesday morning, temperatures around 34 degrees. So it is turning colder over the next 24 hours, clouds are on the increase. We've had some breaks of sunshine this afternoon, but more clouds building through. There's a front through upstate New York, a little bit of rain and snow showers here as this approaches. Long Island clouds will move in right now. It comes through dry. There may be a quick Sprinkle tonight for the first part. Then after midnight, sky is clear and that colder weather comes in for tomorrow. So here's what we have through this evening. The evening rush hour is dry with the clouds. Here's our forecast for warm 47 degrees around five o'clock, 45 at 9 p.m. And then 39 by the time you go to two o'clock in the morning. So there's the colder weather into tomorrow morning, those west northwest winds to start off the day on Tuesday. So the evening rush hour once again will be dry, mostly cloudy skies here at five o'clock temperatures mid and upper forties towards 8 to 9 o'clock, a slight chance of a Sprinkle over the east end. Otherwise, the clouds are giving way to clearing skies and to start off the morning hours of your Tuesday, you'll start off with sunshine and temperatures in the thirties. Now, just like today. Sunshine in the morning, clouds coming in Tuesday afternoon, highs are colder, topping out to a high 45 degrees Tuesday afternoon and on Wednesday and Thursday, highs only in the lower forties. Our next threat of rain now coming in towards Sunday, Sunday morning through the midday into the afternoon. Some wet weather with some gusty winds recapping. Today, highs are in the fifties, mostly cloudy skies. Breezy. It's mild. Then tonight turning colder lows are in the thirties. There's that extended forecast. We are watching the colder weather. Then this rain coming in Sunday into Monday and don't forget tonight, winter weather ready. Our special at 730

Jericho HS builds new football tradition

DHLIJERICHOFOOTBALL5P

Tough enough getting ready for a high school football season when the temperatures are so high, you can't even practice outside at Jericho. It's even tougher because the Jayhawks are also rebuilding their team after dropping the sport and merging with other schools. Jericho finally has its own team again for the first time in five years, 31 players on varsity, 26 more on the JV. Good numbers. All of them eager to bring back the unique school spirit that football provides has never really had that. But now this year we finally have that here and people are excited for the Friday night light games and coming to those games, boring the school, getting the town back together. I mean, it's great, you know, we have three night games, you know, four home games, you know, I don't know. When was the last time you had four home games? You know, and hopefully like everyone's out there, you know, and the Jayhawks first game is Saturday night, not in the wrestling room. It's on the road against Long Beach.
