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

evening Antoinette, what are we seeing? Good evening brian. We're here at the Theodore Roosevelt memorial Park and beach in Oyster Bay, it's even hard to stand still, the wind is whipping so much and it is just freezing out here. You definitely have to where all the layers and you can see out here in the harbor that the waves are whipping around or the wind is whipping around. The waves are, are definitely, you can see them. Uh, and this bitter blast of course is going to make it tough on the roads tonight. As we traveled in Thunderbolt 12 this morning, there was a lot of rain falling hard at times across the island, creating some ponding on roads like on the Northern State Parkway and Secondary Roads as well. Then, as we travel toward the north shore in communities like glen cove, sea cliff and latin town, we saw some snow and ice pellets starting to fall in some areas mix that in with the wind and dropping temperatures and it has a lot of long Islanders wishing for the winter to be over. It can't come fast enough. Spring weather is horrible. He's going to stay home and watch TV. We live in the northeast, We're used to this right, what are you hoping for a nice summer Oyster Bay Town supervisor joseph Saladino says his DPW crews are salting the 750 lane miles of roads in the town tonight. He says there could be icy spots on the north shore as the temperatures drop. We tend to see more problems on the north shore. But the biggest challenge is that the north shore has the steep hills. So when roads are very icy, whether it's a big snow event or just an ice event like today, it's always dangerous when you're on a very icy road that comes downhill to a four way intersection. So just be careful on the roads tonight as you can see, I don't know if you could actually see the snow pellets going by, but it's even hard to face the wind, which is to the right of me because if you do, you can't even talk because you can't even breathe in. But just think of it this way. Think warm thoughts. Because spring Is just eight days away in Oyster Bay Antoinette priority news 12 Long Island.
