LIFORECAST

Do they have all the errors of Taylor Swift represented? Well, you live with the Swifties. So do you know all the errors? I know there's the red era, the reputation. I don't even know that. And then you got her versions. We'll have a talk so much fun. I'm a huge fan though, so that's gonna be great to check out. We have a lot of nice nights coming up this week and even into the weekend. So you'll be able to get out there and get these into the Swifty spirit, I guess. Um, nice day today we did end off with some clouds. A beautiful photo from Sue in East Moritz. It is nice to see you out, enjoying some of the fresh air. The next couple of days, it's going to be a little bit colder than normal. Our average high is now 48. So tomorrow we're at 46 Wednesday, Thursday, down to about 40 a little bit of a breeze, but it will be nice and dry and then look at Friday, Saturday, Sunday, we're on the rise, but by Sunday when temperatures get close to 60 we are watching our next chance for rain tomorrow. It's dry. Sunny start after 2 to 3 o'clock, scattered clouds start to come in. So definitely a chilly finish to the day tomorrow night Wednesday. Slight chance for a little Sprinkle or flurry. It's out of here by daybreak Wednesday ends up being dry, but cold temperatures struggle to even really get up to about 40 in the afternoon. Thursday is very nice. It's a calm day. It's a chilly day And then on Friday we have sunshine will start to warm up. This is going to be the setup for Sunday. Our next good chance for rain. We have a sharp front coming through. There will be a couple of hours likely in the afternoon. Um, where we could see moderate to heavy rainfall, some gusty winds, the rain will end, then it will be breezy and turning a little bit cooler through the start of next week. So we're just on this roller coaster ride with our temperatures. So overnight, partly cloudy and chilly. 34 we do have a little bit of a breeze out of the northwest. We're in the forties tomorrow when it's a nice sunny start, scattered clouds in the afternoon. 44 Hempstead, 44 in Rocky Point and 43 for you in orient. Coldest days will be Wednesday and Thursday and then Friday, we're back up to 50 weekend. Start of it is nice, but Sunday to Monday.

Pierson falls short in first state semifinal in 44 years

RTLIPiersonStateSemisVOSOT5pm

All right, Greg Thompson with sports now and I've got some happy Long Island basketball players. Yes, I'm very happy ones. Especially this time of the year. This is what you play for. And especially after last year when the Pearson Boys basketball team was on. The sideline is one of the teams that didn't even play due to the covid 19 pandemic last week. As you see, they celebrated winning their first Long Island championship in 44 years, punching their ticket to the state tournament where they face new field in the semi finals this afternoon in the second quarter. Cecil Munchen, long range triple the whalers up 32 to 25. Fast forward to the third and things still looking good. Wilson Bennett up ahead to Munchen for two more of his game high 21 points. Pearson is up by 10, 48 to 38. Things would take a turn from their new field, calling on a huge run, outscoring Pearson 28 to 14. The rest of the way Their season comes to an end 66- 62. I can't tell you how proud I am of this team. They fought hard all year. All right. They have acted with class everywhere that we've gone. They've stayed consistent, very proud of the boys
