LIFORECAST

I'm meteorologist Rich Hoffman through hyperlocal weather forecast. The rest of today. A little breaks of sunshine. We have a couple of spotty rain or snow showers moving on through. We've had a few flakes flying out over the east end. Now, through the rest of today, still that chance of a rain or snow shower. Now, in Huntington through this evening it's cold. We top out to a high of 41. By the time we're coming home from work around five o'clock, 39 degrees, we're in the thirties, skies will clear overnight and tomorrow morning, cold temperatures around 25 to 30 degrees. So out the door today this afternoon, 41 degrees, it's cold that rain and snow shower, wind chills have been in the twenties and thirties. So if you're outside the gloves, the hat, the warm boots and also the scarf and keep yourself warm. The rest of today, take a look. Now, tomorrow. So it's cold today. Tomorrow, the chance of a rain or snow shower in the afternoon hours of Thursday, a high of only 40 to start off hot for Thursday night, slight chance of a rain or snow shower early and then overnight hours of Thursday into Friday, skies will start to clear and weather will be improving on your Friday. How about a temperature near 50 degrees? So, changes coming our way towards the weekend, Saturdays dry Sunday. We're watching the storm. It will have strong winds and the timing of the rain looks to be during the afternoon and evening hours of Sunday. If it gets delayed a little bit more, it's more towards Sunday night. So the threat of some brief heavy rain, Sunday night into early Monday morning and some strong winds, we could have winds on Sunday night, 40 to 50 MPH. Recapping today. Temperatures, low forties that rain in passing snow shower tonight, turning colder lows 25 to 30. It's a cold start to your Thursday morning. Saturday looks good at 54. Then that rain and wind Sunday night into Monday morning.

These 12. Daniel Campbell is at Terra's restaurant in Woodberry to Mark National Meatball Day. Who knew a National Meatball Day? Yes, there is a day for everything, but I believe meatballs do deserve their own special day. And here at Boot Terra's restaurant in Woodberry, they have a different take on the classic meatball. Their meatballs are made of chicken. It's not your mother and father's meatball anymore. Owner and chef Martin Butera says his chicken meatballs are his grandmother's recipe from the old country. It's comfort food. It really is. It has the elements of the meat and the bread and the cheese in there and it's warm. It's really, I think that's what people, although it seems you have to be a grandmother to make a good meatball here at Junior's Pizza in Huntington's chef Anthony Rambaldi. Let me give it a try. What's the secret to the Juniors meatball grandma's recipe? A little grated cheese in there. Parsley, eggs, little breadcrumbs. Do we have to make? How long am I gonna be here for a while? I made meatballs with my grandmother who was German, but she married an Italian a good combo. Haven't made meatballs in a long time. That's good. Yeah. Hello. How are you? Owner of Junior's Pizza? Al B Cell Isi says they have been making meatballs for Huntington's hungry since 1982. You want my recipe? Yes, it's not happening. The only secret ingredient they would give me lots of love. You make it with love. That's why I got the best meatballs in town. Here we go. Junior's meatball hero. Best in town. You know, I really love National Meatball day. Danielle Campbell News. 12. Long Island. Well, who's hungry now? Right now, you can find beauty eras chicken meatballs in local Long Island grocery stores actually. And if you need a classic meatball recipe, we have some for you on our website at news 12 dot com.
