LIFORECAST

I'm meteorologist Rich Hoffman through hyperlocal weather forecast. The rest of today. A little breaks of sunshine. We have a couple of spotty rain or snow showers moving on through. We've had a few flakes flying out over the east end. Now, through the rest of today, still that chance of a rain or snow shower. Now, in Huntington through this evening it's cold. We top out to a high of 41. By the time we're coming home from work around five o'clock, 39 degrees, we're in the thirties, skies will clear overnight and tomorrow morning, cold temperatures around 25 to 30 degrees. So out the door today this afternoon, 41 degrees, it's cold that rain and snow shower, wind chills have been in the twenties and thirties. So if you're outside the gloves, the hat, the warm boots and also the scarf and keep yourself warm. The rest of today, take a look. Now, tomorrow. So it's cold today. Tomorrow, the chance of a rain or snow shower in the afternoon hours of Thursday, a high of only 40 to start off hot for Thursday night, slight chance of a rain or snow shower early and then overnight hours of Thursday into Friday, skies will start to clear and weather will be improving on your Friday. How about a temperature near 50 degrees? So, changes coming our way towards the weekend, Saturdays dry Sunday. We're watching the storm. It will have strong winds and the timing of the rain looks to be during the afternoon and evening hours of Sunday. If it gets delayed a little bit more, it's more towards Sunday night. So the threat of some brief heavy rain, Sunday night into early Monday morning and some strong winds, we could have winds on Sunday night, 40 to 50 MPH. Recapping today. Temperatures, low forties that rain in passing snow shower tonight, turning colder lows 25 to 30. It's a cold start to your Thursday morning. Saturday looks good at 54. Then that rain and wind Sunday night into Monday morning.

Wheatley High School runner qualifies for Millrose Mile

EPLISPORTS5PM0123

some of the world's best runners will hit the city for the prestigious Millrose Games and Wheatley High Schooler Julia. Schriefer will be there as well. Julia is one of just 15 girls nationwide to qualify for the big race, the Millrose Mile. They've been running it now for about 40 years, and Julia may have to break the five minute mark to win it if she does, She'll be the 5th Long Island Girl to do it. I'm definitely excited for it because I know all the other girls in this race are like the best of the best. So I know the big people to push me, so I'm just really looking to run a fast time and just experience the whole thing with, like, the pros there and like, it's just really cool. This will be like nothing she's ever faced before. I definitely think Julia will rise to the occasion. She'll be able to keep her emotions in check, and you know, there'll be a lot of nerves before the race, but once the gun goes off, I think she'll be fine.
