Let's turn our attention now to our weather as we remain on storm watch because we have a serious storm heading our way. We're over here in the weather center with meteorologist Crystal Ellis. So, Crystal, what do people need to know about the exact timing here for this? Uh, the worst of it's going to be tomorrow night into the evening, late evening into tomorrow. The overnight hours. That's when we're going to see the worst wind gusts and the most widespread heaviest rainfall. But that doesn't mean before then we won't be experience some turbulent weather. So looking at our storm watch, we do have a high wind watch and a flood watch. 2 to 4 inches of rain could see even more than that in localized areas. So that will lead to flooding. You definitely want to try to stay home if you can for tomorrow. The winds also between 25 and 4540 MPH sustained gusting to 55 even 60 MPH for tomorrow. So that actually could lead to dangerous wind, damaging winds and uh down trees down power lines. So you definitely want to be weather aware for tomorrow, as we look into tomorrow afternoon, the winds start to pick up a little bit and we'll have some scattered downpours throughout the area as we step into the afternoon. Those downpours again, wherever they set up, that's where we'll have the most rainfall falling and check out the winds gusting up to 3035 MPH throughout the area. And this is around 4 p.m. and that's not even the worst of it as we keep going on. The future cast, you can see the rain is just training on in. It's continuing to come down in heavy bouts in the, in the red, orange and yellow shades and the wind is not going anywhere as well. In fact, it's going to be increasing as we step into the later hours. So here we are 11 pm, wind gusts 47 MPH in Smithtown, 47 Rocky Point and the rain continues to fall. So it's going to be a pretty serious storm for tomorrow. And then in your overnight hours, this is where we're seeing the worst of the wind gusts 52 in Rocky Point. And again, depending on where these fans set up will be the worst of the flooding potential. Looking at your Monday morning, it's still hanging on the winds eventually will calm down. And so does the rain. However, we will have a if you wrap around showers for Monday morning and blustery conditions for the second half of your Monday. So we are on storm watch Sunday afternoon, Sunday night and into your Monday morning before things begin to calm down, it gets colder, the wind sticks around and it's feeling like much more typical December weather highs in the forties for the rest of the work week. But at least it's quiet.

New LIU football coach Ron Cooper meets team for first time

EPLISPORTS10PM0120

Hi everybody. I'm kevin Maher. The Long Island University Sharks want to be a big time college football team but it hasn't gone so well today. Their new coach came to campus with a loaded resume and a game plan to build a winner. And he let us sit in on his first team meeting. Class was in session today for the L. I. U. Football team. Sometimes change is needed and all eyes were on new coach Ron Cooper who was on stage some of you will say That it's changed for the good teaching. His brand of winning football. 101. Some of you may not like the changes but the sharks need a big change. They've won only four games in three years since becoming a Division one team. I'm going to do everything with a commitment from the university to make all that better. I can guarantee you that. Cooper brings 40 years of experience to L. I. U. He's been a head coach at three schools including Louisville. He's also been an assistant at 15 other schools including Arkansas and texas A. And M. In my mind they got the right guy here, it's the right time in my coaching career to have this challenge. And with such a young team that has not won much cooper admits it's a big challenge. And as he sweated on stage he didn't sugarcoat anything and it isn't easy. I'm gonna tell you that right now winning is not easy. There's training, there's preparation, there's time put in, there's a whole lot that goes into how you get it done, Ron's like that all the time. You're going to see him like that. He's fired up. This is challenging. We've got some work to do, but it can be done and Cooper says it's going to happen sooner rather than later. He told the players it starts with attitude if you like to compete and you like to get after it and you're willing to learn, you got a chance and that's all the new coach is asking for.
