LIFORECAST

And the radar is all quiet behind you j but we're already starting to see the clouds roll in. Still pretty nice evening. We're expecting fifties all the way through the rest of it. And then we drop it into the forties when the sun sets pretty good deal for December. But we do have a flood watch and a high wind watch in effect across the island. Now, both of them go in effect for tomorrow. We're expecting 2 to 3 inches of rain. So that's your flood watch. It could bring flooding in the afternoon and in the overnight and gusts up to 45 you see, especially parts of eastern Nassau into Suffolk at the worst and it looks like the timing here gonna be six pm to midnight. That's what I'm looking at for the squall line to pass through and deliver some potential power outages. So let's bring you right to Sunday in the morning time. Not too bad. We have stray showers, not a bad breakfast or lunch, but then right around noonish, we're gonna start seeing some downpours and it's an on and off rain at that point. We're also looking at wind which starts to pick up to the 30 mile per hour range. Now, these are gusts and a gust is a quick little burst of wind as opposed to sustained winds, which is an average kind of wind speed. So we're seeing quick little bursts of 40 MPH that could knock a tree branch down or two around 67 o'clock, the wind is gonna be coming in with some really heavy rain around 1011 at night into midnight one o'clock or so. This latest model is actually keeping the rain around for the early Monday morning commuters and then things clear out by about 78 o'clock in the morning. So a little bit better there. So the worst of the rain gonna be with a flooding risk at 5 to 2 a.m. and then we see wind at its worst right around midnight. Things look good for the rest of the work week though. It's gonna be chilly.
