With a look at the week ahead. Any more storms on the horizon or are we staying quiet for a little while? I think we can finally breathe a sigh of relief that after a very stormy end to the weekend, no storms in sights. So it's good news right there. Right. Good news. Unless you're hoping for like a white Christmas type vibe. In which case, uh, we're keeping our eye, maybe a few flakes coming our way, but not anytime soon. At least not this week because we had that rain forecast coming on in for your showing a chance for showers by the time we get towards the end of the week. So once again, this will be the third time in a row. We may be dealing with a weekend with showers coming through, but we'll be keeping our eyes on those chances for potential showers dropping over the course of Sunday. But overnight it's brisk but dry and for the work week, cold winds will linger throughout the next several days. So you will have to bundle up especially in the morning hours where those morning temperatures will be in the low to mid thirties. But you see the feel like temperatures several degrees cooler. So I know the kids want to go to the bus stop and not be bundled to a, a ton of gear on. But they will need that hat and scarf you adults as well. So later on tonight, 1030 here are the temperatures and we can see we have dry conditions all around. A low thirties coming on in for those temperatures right there. And then towards tomorrow morning, same thing as well. But feeling several degrees cooler when you factor in Northwester, we breeze heading up towards the afternoon hours all in all a nice sunshiny day coming our way, temperature in the upper thirties to the low forties trending several degrees cooler than average. But we will notice that chill in the air with some breezy winds around about 10 to 15 MPH. That will also be the case throughout much of this upcoming work week ahead. The only difference is that by Friday's time frame, those winds are coming out of southwest, that's a mile of flow of air moving up this way. So we'll see a high of 48 degrees. Feeling nice and pleasant by next Saturday to mix the southern clouds high of 46. I haven't change for rain by late Sunday, I think we may get this day completely through without showers coming through. But then by the evening hours, rain will be coming our way lastly into next Monday.

All right, let's bring hope back. Now for another check of that hyper local forecast as we get farther and farther into December, hope we realize those sixties certainly. And even those 50 degree temperatures may be a thing of the past. Right. Well, I wouldn't say that yet because the long range forecasts actually show temperatures warmer than normal leading into Christmas. So, if you are a fan of the snow, unfortunately, you know, that may not be the case as we get through the next couple of weeks, but we did top out the day with temperatures in the upper forties, 49 degrees in class and for them in City Island, it was chilly, it was windy, it was a blustery feel and that is going to take us into tonight. And even over the next couple of days, this week will be dry and ch and chilly seasonable temperatures in the low to mid forties. So finally beginning to feel like December, lots of sunshine and then we start to warm up a little bit by the weekend. Wait until you see the exclusive 10 day. But again, we're talking about the chill, especially waking up tomorrow morning, 32 degrees in the Bronx feeling like 26 and it looks like we don't really recover much by the afternoon in the low to mid forties. And then we're seeing feel like temperatures in the mid to upper thirties. So we rs repeat four hour Wednesday, still expecting those brisk and blustery conditions with wind chills in the twenties. And then we start to see the coldest day this week being on Thursday where temperatures will be near freezing or slightly below freezing and feeling like the low twenties. So that's something that we need to prepare for as we get through the next couple of days. But at least those temperatures start to recover by Friday highs near 48 degree. And then we'll be seeing temperatures back in the low fifties by the weekend. So that's something that we can look forward to and guess what, Dan, it's dry, dry. I love it. The winds though is what you really feel. Right. I mean, it feels cold and then that wind comes and it feels kind of you in the face a lot more cold. Yes. 50 degrees. We didn't get there today though. Yeah. You know, today wasn't a bad day. You know, it did start off with some rain, but thankfully, you know, we ended off with some drier conditions but the winds really made it feel quite uncomfortable. Absolutely. All right. Hope. Thank you and be sure to down

Today. What do we have tonight? We've got a little bit of a breeze and colder temperatures. So that means wind chills to start Tuesday morning and that's going to be on the cool side of seasonable. But I'm thinking, you know, by daybreak wind chills are going to be in the lower twenties and that's what you need to be prepared for daytime temperatures swell. We've only seen numbers peak earlier this morning in the forties and fifties and those temperatures have been dropping ever since because of those gusty winds, peak winds anywhere from 30 to 40 almost 45 miles an hour out of a north westerly direction that moved the snow and the rain away from the area. But now it's depositing more of a colder feel to our skies. So it's certainly feeling a little bit more in line with what December should look like for this time of year. Some lake and hand snow showers still showing up in western New York and northern sections of Pennsylvania out towards the Poconos, very little in the way of accumulations, but we are going to keep an eye on it. I don't think any of those flakes are going to make it into New Jersey drier weather is beginning to nose in from West Virginia. So that's going to be where our forecast is coming from. And we're already starting to see some of that drier weather peeling away some of the clouds. So we see the mainly cloudy skies that are out there now giving way to clear skies later tonight and into early tomorrow morning, we'll start off with temperatures in the twenties and thirties. Daytime highs making it into the mid forties, which is normal for this time of year. So a seasonable forecast for tomorrow, lots of sunshine Wednesday and Thursday even going into Friday, temperatures are warming back up, but we've got more rain and wind to potentially tell you about for the second half of the weekend. I'll have more details on that coming right up. All right.

Right. So that's gonna be the story. Really. For this week, we have a cold breeze the next couple of days but bright skies. So breezy and cold for much of the week, Friday is my pick of the week. We get close to 50 in some spots. So it is going to turn a little bit warmer. It will be very nice, less wind. We are dry through the weekend, temps near 50 some more clouds around and it's likely that we're not going to see rain until next Monday. So overnight tonight, 30 degrees, the breeze, it feels more like the twenties, it's dry tomorrow. 4544 degrees. It will be nice. And as we head into the next couple of days, we're looking at this dry pattern, high pressure is in place. We have a breeze out of the northwest and that will keep us looking just fine. So in the morning getting up 31 in Miller Place at 7 a.m. 28 in Hampton Bay is heavier jacket tomorrow. A little bit of a breeze from time to time out of the west southwest breeze, Tuesday night into west. You see we're in the thirties in the morning, low forties in the afternoon. So the next couple of days will be very similar 30 degrees tonight. With that West northwest breeze. Tomorrow, it looks nice. You'll get up to 45 in Riverhead, 43 Smithtown and 44 in Hempstead. Great to have the sunshine out there will finally warm us up a little bit by Friday at 49 nearing 50 for Saturday and Sunday. We have some showers early next week and it will turn chilly and dry again after.

I know it was a bit of a doozy to start off this morning, but we're really tapping into some colder weather over the next couple of days. So much. So it's gonna feel like winter stepping out the door for some of your mornings. But we got 10 more days until the official start. December 21st. It's expected to arrive at 448 in the afternoon. So again for today, that rain from earlier is out of our hair. We're still dealing with some puddles and ponding. So be careful as you're out there on those roads or even by foot for tonight. We're still working with some colder weather. Numbers are dropping off down into the twenties. We're not really looking at cold to the point where some standing order can turn into some black ice or anything like that. But again, we're really diving into some chillier numbers stepping out the door for your tomorrow. Numbers will be in the thirties. We're looking at forties for the afternoon, Wednesday morning, again, another 30 degree day to start, but we're really not gonna get out of the thirties and then Thursday, I really want to show you what it feels like as you're stepping out the door. But again, for your Wednesday out the door, it feels like the twenties head into your Wednesday night. It'll feel like the twenties again. But look at some of these numbers for the Thursday morning, wake up similar to what we had the just past two Thursdays. We're feeling like the teens for areas up north, lower to mid twenties, for areas south of 84. So do be sure to bundle up again. We did deal with that storm earlier on, but we're looking at improving conditions throughout the rest of today, chilly weather for the next couple of days before we bounce back Friday. Heading into what looks like to be a pretty decent seasonal weekend.

Pair of blind women fulfill dream of skydiving

BLINDBIT

That's exactly what Shannon Britt and Jennifer Blintz are doing at Skydive Suffolk. But to understand why we'll start back on the ground. The day started with a few laughs. I get the drive. Right. Absolutely. Absolutely. I'm gonna close my eyes and detailed instructions. All right. So at about 13,000 ft, the door's gonna open up, you'll know the doors opening up because you'll feel some wind on your face. Ok. Shannon and Jennifer have been playing to jump from this plane. It's been a dream to do forever. This is something not a lot of people think to do. So we're going to do it and they're doing it blind, everything else. Everything's pretty much shadow and light with Shannon's guy. Do. El and other members of the Tidewater chapter of the National Federation of the Blind of Virginia. Cheering them on the jump comes during a blind equality achievement month where folks spread awareness of stigmas and barriers and showcase examples where everyone can pursue a full measure of happiness. It's clear. The jump was a happy one. When you first drop out of the plane, you're breathless. Then you just kind of like, I don't know, you get this weightless free fall. Like I can't even, I'm shocked I actually did it. It was a lot of fun because blindness is a spectrum. Shannon caught a glimpse of the world on the way down because I saw some reflection and he said there was like lakes or bodies of water that it was possibly the reflection. But it was an experience for every sense. What I really just felt mostly was just the wind, the wind rushing and with a safe landing. They both said they'd love to skydive again.
