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

Thunderbolt 12: Slick roads across Long Island after snow tapers off

Well, thank you. Yes, we are still in Thunderbolt 12 were on the expressway, we're headed eastbound and we are approaching. I'm going to give you guys a look, the 1 10 exit again. This is on the expressway and we have been giving you a look all throughout the morning, very early morning. Two conditions. I have to say that now you can see the road very clear. I mean you have to look really hard at the side streets right now or the side of the highway where we are to actually see any traces of snow, it really all has melted and luckily again, the roads pretty dry now. I have been speaking of course with our first responders, those in law enforcement, the state troopers for new york state as well as Nassau Police and Suffolk Police and what I am gathering from them is that this wasn't an incredibly busy morning. Yes, there was a wintry mix, but it didn't really impact a ton of drivers. We did of course. And I want to go to some of that video right now. This is from earlier this morning about five o'clock as we were going down this very road, the Long Island Expressway, we saw a number of vehicles that had spun out again. This is some of the video that Thunderbolt 12 captured this morning. There certainly were some patches of ice on the road and unfortunately drivers weren't reducing their speeds to be able to navigate them. That it's a really big thing if you're out on the road and there are those patches of ice, you've got to slow it down because especially in the dark, like that video, you don't know exactly what's coming ahead of you now when we're talking about the evening commute tonight of course is rich, just explain, we are not expecting that there will be any issues getting home, getting to where we have to go tonight, maybe it's a holiday party. But you know what, start thinking about towards the end of this week because again the temperatures are getting cooler and colder really is the better term. And unfortunately when that happens we have our cars icing over. I know for myself this morning it took like triple the time to get ready to get out and luckily I budget enough time to take my time. But you know that is the reason that a lot of people get into these accidents spin out like this is they aren't budgeting that time and they're racing to get to where they have to go so be safe on the roads of course, you know, Thunderbolt 12 will continue to keep you updated on how they look for. Now though, back to you in the studio
