LIFORECAST

I'm meteorologist Rich Hoffman, hyperlocal weather forecast. We've had some chilly weather conditions. The last 24 hours we had some snow yesterday. So the cold weather still out there with a high of 39 degrees, kind of mostly sunny to a mixture of sun and clouds. And then tomorrow mostly sunny some afternoon clouds, a high of 48 degrees and we're looking at some fifties heading towards the weekend. So a little bit of that warmer weather coming our way after the deep chill the last 24 hours, you can see feels like temperatures have been in the twenties out there for this afternoon. So cold weather running errands leaving work bundle up. You have the cold numbers, the rest that say feels like temperatures in the twenties. The evening rush hour will be dry with a temperature around 34 degrees in corm 31 at 8 p.m. and down into the twenties when you wake up tomorrow morning. So we have one more morning of the cold weather, wind chills around 20 degrees and you can tomorrow afternoon in Riverhead at one o'clock, it's around 47 degrees sunshine, dry conditions, so some nice weather with that warm up coming away on Thursday before we start to see some wet weather for Friday, a few clouds around four this afternoon, that mixture of sun and clouds, it's breezy and it's cold and you can see now we're dry today. Tomorrow, we're looking at some nice weather. Thursday afternoon, temperatures will be in the mid forties. Some clouds come in Thursday night. And then by Friday morning, we're starting to see more clouds developing not as cold Friday morning. And then for your Friday afternoon, highs will be in the fifties tracking some wet weather. Now, Friday evening, some showers coming in and they're gone rather quickly. It's about a four hour window of some wet weather highs today are in the thirties. It's sun and clouds, it's cold twenties. Four tonight. Fifties. By the time we get towards Friday now, wet weather, more rain, Sunday into Monday.

Scholar Athlete: Kaelin McCaffrey

Time now to meet this week's winner of the news, 12 scholar athlete award sponsored by Beth Page Federal Credit Union. She's Our Lady of Mercy Academy Senior, Kaylin mccaffrey. Now Kaylin said she started running just a few years after she learned how to walk and look, she's got the smile and the medals to prove it right there. Well, now she's all grown up and has even more medals and awards. She is a nine time all league runner in track and cross country. She qualified for the 800 m at the New Balance Nationals and she made the state meet running the anchor leg in the four by 800 m. She said, quote, running is the spark within me that keeps my life a light. And her favorite part is the strategy. You know, I love all the numbers behind it and everything. So, you know, just, you know, calculating, you know, where I should be at a certain distance time and everything. You know, that's, that's probably my favorite part about it. She knows the statistics, she knows who, who a competition is and she's not afraid to line up against them. And I'm go. She goes, I'm, I'm going for it and she's also not afraid to help Kaitlin volunteers for the Huntington Community first aid squad. She's training to be an EMT and has gone out on calls from car accidents to cardiac arrest. She's also the school president and has a 99 unweighted GPA and like all of our winners, Kaitlin gets a $1000 scholarship from Bethpage Federal Credit Union. I'm Kevin Maher.
