I'm meteorologist Rich Hoffman, hyperlocal weather forecast. We've had some chilly weather conditions. The last 24 hours we had some snow yesterday. So the cold weather still out there with a high of 39 degrees, kind of mostly sunny to a mixture of sun and clouds. And then tomorrow mostly sunny some afternoon clouds, a high of 48 degrees and we're looking at some fifties heading towards the weekend. So a little bit of that warmer weather coming our way after the deep chill the last 24 hours, you can see feels like temperatures have been in the twenties out there for this afternoon. So cold weather running errands leaving work bundle up. You have the cold numbers, the rest that say feels like temperatures in the twenties. The evening rush hour will be dry with a temperature around 34 degrees in corm 31 at 8 p.m. and down into the twenties when you wake up tomorrow morning. So we have one more morning of the cold weather, wind chills around 20 degrees and you can tomorrow afternoon in Riverhead at one o'clock, it's around 47 degrees sunshine, dry conditions, so some nice weather with that warm up coming away on Thursday before we start to see some wet weather for Friday, a few clouds around four this afternoon, that mixture of sun and clouds, it's breezy and it's cold and you can see now we're dry today. Tomorrow, we're looking at some nice weather. Thursday afternoon, temperatures will be in the mid forties. Some clouds come in Thursday night.

Will Islanders make the playoffs?

The pressure is on the Islanders. There's only four more games left to clinch a playoff spot starting tomorrow night at home against Tampa. It is wild card or bust right now. They are tied with Florida for the two wild card spots. Head coach Lane Lambert today said I like my odds. Thanks to my veteran team. A lot of guys have been through, you know, situations or these types of situations. So, you know, they can draw off that experience. And as a coach, you don't really have to say a whole lot. It's, it's on us now and we have a good opportunity in front of us to get into the playoffs. And I think, I think, like I said, we have all the confidence in the world in this group that we can do something special if we get. And the schedule is on their side. Here's the last four games again, they host Tampa tomorrow. The last three games are all against non playoff team.
