LIFORECAST

I'm meteorologist Rich Hoffman. Your hyperlocal weather forecast. We're in storm watch for heavy rain and strong winds coming in towards Sunday. But with the start of Hanukkah starting this evening at 425 that's our sunset. You're gonna see the clouds around now out towards the east and you've seen a little bit more sunshine. We do have the cloudy skies giving way to partly cloudy skies overnight and it's gonna feel cold, bundle up heading out for this evening. There still is that flurry or a passing rain or snow shower this afternoon? Best chance of that western areas of Long Island as we go throughout the rest of our day. Now, if you're going to be on Rosslyn, uh, through this evening temperature at five o'clock near 38 degrees. Yeah, bundle up. Here's the cold weather then into midnight around 34 waking up tomorrow morning on the partly cloudy skies. Your Friday starts off with temperatures around 30 degrees and then Saturday, Friday, we're looking good. It's Sunday that we are tracking out wet weather. As of right now, the rain develops during Sunday afternoon and becomes steadier and heavier as we go to Sunday evening, here's 545 on Sunday. There's that heavy rain overnight into Monday morning, still raining during your morning rush hour and then the weather improves for Monday afternoon. But as the cold front comes through, it's gonna get warm and then the gusty winds are gonna be developing winds on Sunday afternoon, 40 to potentially 50 MPH. And there's a chance that we see some higher gusts along the south shore and the east end. So you want to secure your Christmas decorations on Saturday for the strong gusty winds on Sunday. So let's go through the rest of the day. You're looking at 41 for your high 30 tonight and then four, your Friday mostly sunny to a mixture of sun and clouds. Temperatures, mid and upper forties. So Friday's ok. Saturday is looking good sun and clouds at 55 and then Sunday afternoon, Sunday night into Monday, the threat of heavy rain, strong winds, some power outages and then chilly next week. But generally dry weather conditions happy Hanukkah from M 12.

Nassau legislator Josh Lafazan offers helping hand to 18-year-old running for West Islip School Board   

An 18 year old candidate for school board has a new mentor and it's someone who knows what it's like to be in his position, news host, Kevin Vey was with him as they campaigned together tonight. He joins us live from West Iceland, Kevin and Doug Quinn Bedell really is a natural when it comes to running for office. So many people around town are already buzzing about him. And tonight he got a little extra political muscle from someone who got his start as an 18 year old school board member. 18 year old Quinn Bedell is going door to door. How are you looking for votes in the upcoming West Islip school board race? And he's got the help of someone who was once in his shoes. Nasa legislator Josh is in, won a seat on the school board 11 years ago. Also at the age of 18, this brought back so much nostalgia where I feel like I'm 18 all over again. Laan took Quinn under his wing, offering advice from his own experience being young is an advantage. It's not a disadvantage. It's what makes you unique. 123. He even helped him install a lawn sign and showed him that every vote counts for Quinn. Thank you. It's great to have him help him out. He knows how to do it and he knows how to win. Quinn is still getting used to the whirlwind of attention he's received since we first brought you his story on Sunday. Thank you. Thank you. And he thinks he now has the momentum to win. I'm just trying to do exactly what's best for the community and the kids because at the end of the day, that's what it's all about. So there are a total of four candidates including Quinn running for three spots on the school board. He's a write in candidate and the election is now less than two weeks away. So, Doug and Katie will see if he can keep that momentum going. Interesting, Kevin, what is he making a particular pitch to voters there or just like, you know, I'm young, enthusiastic. Need new blood, that sort of thing. Mhm. That, well, yeah, that is his pitch that he's young, that he's a student and he knows what students need because he is one of them win or lose though. This kid certainly has a really bright future ahead of him.
