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.

Hot and humid weather is sticking around for a few more days. All right, luckily, there are plenty of ways for you to escape that heat and that includes cooling centers. Many of those are staying open later. We find news. Twelve's Carmen Grant had one in Beth page tonight. Carmen. Well, Doug Katie, uh this is a lot cooler now compared to earlier today when you felt like you were standing in a virtual oven. I can tell you this cooling center offered a lot of relief for those needing to beat the heat. Today. It hot, sticky. It's a little extreme. That's how some are describing today's sweltering temperatures to help families cope with the next few days of a heat advisory. The town of Oyster Bay is extending the hours of its cooling centers and some of its community pools like here at the Oyster Bay Ice skating rink which will be open today and on Friday from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. for people seeking relief from the oppressive heat. It's a great opportunity for families to have a place to cool off, especially those that don't have air conditioning. Also a great resource for the elderly. Meanwhile, local doctors are urging people to stay hydrated and limit strenuous and physical activities to a minimum. They say these warning signs should never be ignored. Pay close attention to what your body is telling you. If you're starting to feel weak. If you're starting to feel excessively thirsty, if you notice that you are perspiring excessively, if you start feeling even worse than that with nausea, dizziness, headaches, cramps, you know, that's a good sign that you're getting heat exhausted. Doctors say if you are exhibiting any of the signs of dehydration or heat related illnesses seek medical attention immediately. Lastly, it's recommended that you check in on your elderly neighbors to make sure they're ok during this heat advisory. Meantime, Oyster Bay is not the only town offering extended hours for its cooling center and pools for a full list of locations. Head over to our website, use 12 dot com reporting in that page.
