LIFORECAST

This weekend. No, it's going to be warm and on Sunday up to 60 but Sunday, we are tracking that messy weather. So the worst of it will come through after eight o'clock. So, you know, the day won't be terrible. We will have some showers around, but Saturday is definitely the better day to get out and about. So we are watching this storm coming in late Sunday, 2 to 3 inches of rain is possible. Most of that will come at night. So that's the good news. And when this line of heavy rain does approach winds could briefly get up to about 4045 miles per. So it is going to be a little bit rowdy on Sunday night, but it will be moving through fast. And by Monday morning, most of the bad weather will be out of here. So tomorrow morning, 43 in Glen Cove and 45 in Riverhead at 7 a.m. It's a quiet start to the day. There could be a little bit of fog around partly sunny, mostly cloudy at a period in the afternoon. But you see the warmer temperatures we're in the mid to upper fifties. It's dry through the day with that warm feel Sunday morning, we start the day with temperatures near 50 degrees and we close to 60 in the afternoon. But you do see some scattered showers around. So there is the chance for a hit or miss shower through the first half of Sunday. The worst of the weather will get here after dark. You see there's almost a break as we head into the evening and then 8 to 9 o'clock, the front approaches, you see all the bright colors. This is that heavy rain, but it's coming around 10 o'clock to midnight, 3 a.m. in Suffolk County. So overnight it's pouring rain here at 4 a.m. and this should start to clear out by about 5 to 6 a.m. So if you're getting up at 5 a.m. around the east end, be aware there could be some big puddles, maybe some flooding gusty winds, worse of the winds again at night. Nine o'clock. That's when they'll pick up. We could see those gusts up to 50 through 3 a.m. and then it's out of here. So the start of the weekend looks great for your Saturday, partly sunny. We are in the fifties, enjoy the day that heavy rainfall gets here Sunday evening overnight. Improving Monday next week looks nice. Sun and clouds seasonable with temperatures in the mid to upper 40
