LIFORECAST

The, uh, forecast and looking nice and we're warming up again. We are warming up. It's been cold. But I'm telling you if you dress warm, it's just kind of nice to get out here, taking some of that fresh air. Some of our local Long Island photographers have been getting great photos. Linda was at Fire Island Lighthouse and you can see the sky nice and clear there. But I'll tell you there is quite a good breeze by the water and it has been feeling cold, but now we're going to get a little bit of a break from the cold and the breeze. So overnight 25 degrees mostly clear that cold, but the wind isn't as bad. So it's not going to have that bite in the morning. 48 tomorrow afternoon. That's about 10 degrees warmer than what we've been seeing and it won't be as windy. It's going to be nice, sunny and seasonable. So, enjoy your day. We've had some big lake effect snow bands north and west of Long Island. Those are winding down because the wind is switching to the southwest. You see the weather is quiet across the northeast into the Ohio River Valley and around the Middle Atlantic State. So good news for us. It's clear tonight in the morning at 6 a.m. we are in the upper twenties to near 30 degrees less wind for the afternoon might be a little bit of a breeze from time to time out of the southwest. Only about 5 to 15 MPH. But at three o'clock, you make it to 45 in Montauk, 47 Glen Cove and 46 in Miller Place. So we do have that warmer feel at night, partly cloudy. And then our weather starts to change on Friday. It will be mild. We are in the fifties as early as 10 o'clock in the morning, but rain is coming in late in the day. So after four o'clock, we watch some showers. This will be a fast moving front. By about midnight, the rain moves out. Saturday is dry late Sunday. We have another batch of showers coming in and some of those showers could linger early next week. So we are back up into the fifties for the weekend. Saturday is the better day early next week. Some showers clearing late and turning a little bit cooler later in the week.

The East End: The Old Town Arts and Crafts Guild in Cutchogue  

It's a spot on the North Fork where artists can gather and show off their work in this week's East end. Our Dougie takes us to the old town arts and crafts guild in Ko here. The North Fork. It's the vistas really that, that are beautiful from lighthouses to farm, stands from the bay to the fields. Much of the beauty of the east end can be found in one spot. We are the oldest gallery on the North Fork. It was 1948 when local artists banded together and formed the old town arts and crafts guild in Kuo for 75 years. It served as a place where artists gather and showcase their work. People come here every year customers, they, they know the quality of work that's here. The artwork is just fabulous. All the crafts, all handmade. Those crafts include these unique figures. Products of what's called needle felting. The mice are very popular. I have a lot of people that collect them actually and, and, and make requests for different um you know, different kinds of themes. Beauties everywhere. Out here, Linda Burke of Matatu sells her photography work at the guild. I'm inspired by nature and, um, the local beautiful area. We live. A lot of my work is the miniature ones of the North Fork, whether it's handmade soaps, Christmas, ornaments, pillows or paintings. Small town artists rely on the guild to sell their work. I figured when I started this maybe six years ago, um, I figured, well, if I could sell a painting a year I could pay for my supplies and I'm good, you know. Well, so I'm doing a little bit of that. So that's great for more information about the old town guild.
