LIFORECAST

Hopefully you can enjoy it. Check out the sunrise this morning doesn't exactly look cold, but it was a cold start to the day. Still quite a few people out on the boardwalk, enjoying the nice weather and the fresh air that was by Andre Navarro. A fantastic photo. What you can expect overnight is temperatures near 30 degrees. It's cold but it's quiet. Tomorrow, we get up to about 41 some sun in the morning. A couple of clouds in the afternoon just with the cold air in place. A storm is passing to our south that might bring in a very brief Sprinkle or flurry. I think the best chance for that is around the east end. So most of you will end up staying dry and the cold will kind of settle in for the next two days. So 6 1535 Glen Cove, 36 in Medford. You see through the day, we kind of a hard time getting to 40 degrees. We'll do it briefly. Skies will clear at night. Thursday, we'll start off with some sun again. We are in the twenties to near 30 but not much of a wind. So it won't feel that bad. And in the afternoon trying to get up to 40 you do see that extra cloud cover around with the cold air. Now, by Friday skies are clearing, we get more of a southwest wind and temperatures begin to warm up. So Friday afternoon will be nice and seasonable. We hit about 50 Saturday sunny skies around the tri state temperatures in the low to mid fifties. So definitely that mild feel and then our weather will change late Sunday. So the good news is now that most of Sunday will be dry. The rain is trending later in the day. This is four o'clock rains on our doorstep. Most of this wet weather is not going to come through um until even after eight o'clock. So this is more of a Sunday evening, Sunday night thing and the rain will clear by Monday morning. So it's fast moving, but when the front passes by, it will be windy. So just kind of keep that in mind if you're going to be traveling. So cold weather will settle in for tomorrow and Thursday temp me 4050 sat uh Friday, Saturday looks amazing. There's that rain on Sunday with highs near 60 will clear out and get back to cooler weather for next week.

LIoysterfest1014noobn

Good news visitors of Oyster bay will be enjoying a weekend full of fun at the annual Oyster festival. It is back after two years from the pandemic news 12 Caroline Flynn is there with the festivities. We are here with your oyster fest preview and no one knows better what's happening this week. And then this guy right here, Harlan who is co producing the event. What I want to ask you for those that have never come before, who are coming for the 25th or however many times I've been doing this time. What are the events? You just canvas? I mean you got to check out the arts and crafts tent. There's almost like 100 different vendors, all handmade crafts. The food court is off the hook, something like 30 and brand new and brand new. The expanded beer and wine 10 brought to you by new Belgium. I mean from you know the voodoo ranger to the hard shelters and wine that's going on here. Um, DJ Theo's vinyl party in the park, a full vinyl set. But at the end of the day, the star of the show is the oyster is the oyster eating in chunking contest, which okay, that brings me to like my biggest question of today. Every time I'm out to dinner. The question is how do you when the oysters come out? Eat an oyster without making a fool of yourself? I actually wore this jacket because I said I make a mess. So what is your tip and I'm bringing rust into Russ. Who owns several businesses, restaurants in Oyster bay. I want you each to give me your tips. So you go first for me. It's it's getting them fresh out of the water like we do. And just hitting with a little cocktail sauce. Maybe my secret is a little Tabasco too. I like to kick it up a notch. That's not going to look good. I'm not a spicy person. Okay. But what about the big thing is like Carlin said local always just got to be fresh. I think you just hit him with the cocktail sauce and ultimately you can't be a half measure. You have to go and you gotta take them slurp them down quick. You can't sit there and nibble on them. They got to go down if you do that, they're gonna wind up on your shirt. It's gotta be one quick hit. We don't want that. All right, you're going to put the cocktail sauce on these over here. I'm bringing over here. We've got so one of the things we have learned throughout today is there are a lot of people helping with oyster fest. I can't believe I'm saying this that have never had an oyster. One of them being chris with patriot water. We're all gonna enjoy one right now. You gotta sue my photon. You gotta focus on him. Never have an oyster before. She also has someone who's never had an oyster before. Let's call them all out. Thank you very much darling. You better get 12 and Russ. I mean, come on, you guys gave the tips. All right, All right, we've got him here, cheers. All right, 321, of course. What do you think? Alright, as we send it back to the studio, big thing with oyster fest is the charity component. Tell me really quick, what happens if you buy a patriot water this weekend? So patriot water right here, 50% of all our profits go to help veterans in financial need, high quality mineral spring water. If you guys come out, support us, you're supporting veterans as well. We love that. All right, back to you guys in the studio, definitely get down here for oyster fest this weekend, saturday and sunday, it's gonna be a great time.
