With us. What a great group of girls that is always do such a great job. All right, back in the weather center now with Rich yesterday at the bus stop in the afternoon, the bus driver pulls up. He's like, where is everybody? And then we all come running out our doors to pick up the kids. It was that cold. Yeah, it was cold out there. You're more cold weather today before we see a warm up. But then we also track a storm and rich out here this morning. We're seeing some clear skies over portions of Long Island and the temperatures really tumbled overnight. Your view right now, Riverhead seeing that sun rise, it is going to come up right here over this tree over the next 30 minutes outside. In that page, you can see low on the horizon.

Your current temperature bridge Hampton at 2921 right now in Riverhead 29 Bajo 31 have said 32 degrees. Good morning in Valley Stream. The Oceanside Huntington's at 28 and 25 degrees. Right now in Smithtown, a little bit of a wind. It feels more like the low twenties around most of Long Island. So you need to bundle up as you go throughout the rest of our day. Some sunny breaks this morning. Then mostly cloudy skies, tracking some flurries and snow showers north and west of Long Island. There will be a chance that we see one nuisance festive flakes coming on through a rain shower, snow shower, it's cold this morning and temperatures once again will struggle to around 41 degrees for that high. You see a lot more clouds during our afternoon and then skies will start to clear overnight. So let's take a look going towards your weekend. We're good Friday. Saturday is a great day and Sunday, stormy weather coming in strong winds and heavy rain as we track the storm, there's a potential of winds 40 to 50 MPH with even some higher gusts late Sunday afternoon, Sunday evening into Monday morning.

Now, the question I have about the mayor is that the weather down in DC, a warmer than the weather here because it's got to be at least a little bit better. It is a little bit warmer in DC. But you know, we are dealing with that really cold pocket of air that is taking us just for one more day. But we are going to turn our eyes for the weekend an early look for what are some potential impacts for this storm. So some thunderstorms in December, that's what is possible for Sunday evening into Monday, steady rain isolated flooding high winds of 40 MPH or even stronger that can knock down some decorations even cause some scattered power outages and then temperatures start to crash. So we're forecasting a high of 61 on Sunday by Monday night. It's going to be in the 30. So that's something that we need to monitor in terms of tomorrow. Another very cold start, temperatures will be near 29 feeling much colder than that high. Tomorrow will be in the low forties, feeling like the mid thirties throughout the day. A few flurries possible by the early afternoon drying out and clouds clearing out by Friday. Seeing more of that sunshine seasonable fill with highs in the upper forties. Saturday will actually be the pick of the week. We're going to see that beautiful sunshine highs in the mid fifties and then we're watching for some stormy weather on Sunday.
