LIFORECAST

For it too. We are all over the place with our temperatures, but, um, it's dry, it's dry, no rain. We're not worried about any big storms. That's good. Just got, um, kind of figure out how to dress every day because we had this warm weekend. Now we're turning much colder just for the next two days. You can see it here forecast highs temperatures for, uh, Tuesday and Wednesday only in the upper fifties. So, you know, this past weekend, we were in the sixties and seventies. Thursday starts to climb a little bit and then by Saturday and Sunday again, we have another warm up coming in and that warm up could last for much of next week. So this is just a brief cool down and now if we look ahead, it looks like it will be warm, uh, kind of through Halloween. So this roller coaster ride and our temperatures will continue. It's like one week we're cool. Then the next week we're warm tomorrow morning at 6 a.m. 41 Glen Cove, 45 Riverhead, 43 in Bridgehampton. Feeling more like the upper thirties. We have this chilly northwest breeze. Definitely a fall like day, even in the afternoon, a mix of sun and clouds, but we're only in the fifties. So it will feel quite chilly throughout the day at night. It's clear. It won't be as breezy by tomorrow night into tomorrow. Um Wednesday morning. Very nice. Tense. Again in the low forties we have that chill and we're trying to get a little bit warmer for the afternoon, but we can't quite do it. So by Thursday we'll get back up into the sixties and then again, it's dry. We have some extra clouds coming in Friday ahead of that warmer weather for the weekend. I'm not expecting any rain. I don't have any rain in the 10 day forecast. So it's just, um, you know, the cold weather then trending warmer again, we'll look at your drought monitor. This is going to become a bigger deal in the coming weeks. Only abnormally dry for the east end parts of Nassau County. I'm expecting this map to fill in, especially by the end of this week and next week with no real measurable rain coming through. It's just been very, very dry around Long Island, around the tri state even much of the northeast. So tonight, clear and cold temps near 40 with the breeze. It could be as cold as about 35 to 36 in parts of Suffolk County. Tomorrow, upper fifties trying to get to 60. You might do it in Valley Stream. 59 fire Island and 58 on the North Fork by cut jog. You see, we're warming up Thursday, Friday. Very nice. Saturday will be my pick of the week. Pleasant warmer. On Sunday, we've got the marathon coming up and nice sunshine will continue next week.

Milton gains strength in Gulf of Mexico as Florida prepares for another major storm

miltonupdate2

Have news. 12 meteorologist Alex Calamia with a Sunday morning update on tropical storm Milton. The storm is getting stronger. Winds are up to 65 MPH. So once we get to 75 now we have a hurricane. So we are expecting not only for it to reach hurricane status, but by this time tomorrow, it's a cat 2 may be approaching cat three strength. So to go from a tropical storm to a major hurricane in 24 hours is very impressive and unfortunate because this storm by Wednesay morning is knocking on the door of somebody in Western Florida. So the entire west coast of Florida needs to be on alert. But in particular, in the path is Cedar Key Tampa Sarasota, Fort Myers down to Naples. So the landfall can happen really anywhere in any of these towns or somewhere in between. But what you need to keep in mind is that the biggest storm surge impacts are going to happen south of landfall because that's where the onshore wind is going to be. And with this storm system, in particular, the heaviest rain is going to be a long landfall and north of landfall. So we have multiple threats coming in right now. The track has shifted a little bit far for southward. So if it does stay south of Tampa Bay, the worst of the storm surge will also be south of Tampa Bay. But unfortunately, communities all along South Florida, this includes Key West. Key West is not in a projected path but everybody, especially in central and southwest Florida needs to prepare for life threatening storm surge because of that onshore wind, the storm is going to get a lot larger. Let me show you some of the spaghetti plots. This is just the GFS model. You do see that clustering by the Tampa Bay area. But there are a lot of solutions that actually take it into Sarasota Fort Myers Naples. So nobody is, you know, out of the woods in Southwest Florida and the Tampa Bay area is still very much in play as well. Now, we have had uh more than our fair share of major hurricanes in the sunshine state since 2004. Look at all of them on the screen. This is just within 20 years most recently, of course, Helene less than two weeks ago. But Adalia also hit Taylor County that was in 2023. Uh So these storms did have a big surge for the Tampa Bay area, but notice that they were far removed from Tampa Bay and they also hit the state in a different direction. We have not in recent times, had a hurricane hit the Tampa Bay area right on. And so this is going to be a unique storm surge problem that has not been seen in Tampa Bay. And unfortunately, Helene had major storm surge issues in Saint Pete and the Tampa Bay area, Sarasota Cedar Key. Uh So, so these communities are still picking up the pieces from that, but depending on where the storm track takes Milton, it could be worse in those, some of those areas or perhaps a threat just like we saw with Ian in 2022 perhaps this becomes an issue for southwest Florida. Ian and Charlie had identical landfalls literally on top of each other, Ian was 2022 and Charlie was 2004. So southwest Florida very used to this threat and they are still possibly in play for some major storm surge. So everybody just needs to take any evacuations that come out in the next couple of days very seriously in western Florida because I think the biggest threat from this storm will be the surge. But we do have of course the wind threat along landfall. Right now, the National Hurricane center takes that landfall towards central Florida, but just be prepared because that track is still very wide. So this could very easily, the orange could be in Southwest Florida or it could be a little farther north. So we'll have to really keep an eye on things. This is how some of the forecast models take things. This is not Milton, this is actually some just massive tropical downpours ahead of the storm that are happening on Monday. So that's gonna challenge us when it comes to preparing for Milton because we already have some pretty decent heavy rain in the sunshine state before Milton even arrives Tuesday. Still dealing with some tropical downpours, but a little bit of relief compared to Monday. And then this is Milton. We'll see right now as I mentioned, wherever that landfall is, it does look like north of it will be where some of the biggest rain totals are. So let's take you into it. This is just computer model guidance. So don't pay too much attention to the we yet for the heaviest rain because right now it takes it to the Tampa Bay area, but things could move south, they could move north. But you do see that possibility for over a foot of rain. This is a lot of rain. So we're gonna have to keep this in mind. Certainly, if you have any plans in the Sunshine State on Wednesday into Thursday, you're going to wanna reconsider that travel because I do think that the people there are going to need to move away from the coast in many of these neighborhoods. And of course, when it comes to evacuation, the one thing you want to keep in mind is being as close to home as possible and as safe. I know during Irma, there was just massive backups on all the interstates because people were trying to move way out of state. And really the, the important thing to keep in mind when you're evacuating is that you just wanna stay away from the ocean storm search. That is the reason why people evacuate the wind issues will be there. But at least when you're inland, they're a lot more isolated. So stay tuned. We're gonna keep an eye on this storm as it gets closer. Fortunately, no impacts for us here in New York. But I know a lot of people have plans, homes, family loved ones in Florida just wanted to keep you updated.

We are remembering the loss of a longtime member of the news. 12 family meteorologist, Norm. Deskin Norm has died at the age of 93 and Norm was one of the first faces on news 12 and delivered your weather forecast for 30 years. He retired in 2016. Norm's unique style of mixing weather and humor with witty puns, quips and jokes always had us smiling. He even wrote a pair of weather related humor books. And before his time at News 12, Norm had a long career with Grumman and Beth Page researching how the environment impacted Grumman's projects. The long time Melville resident was a father of three and a grandfather. His services will be held at Gutman's Jewish funeral. Haman would bury.
