I'm meteorologist Rich Hoffman, your hyper-local weather forecast
as we go throughout the rest of our day.
The spotty shower will give way to some sunshine.
Then after 5 o'clock, we're going to keep an eye on some showers
and a thunderstorm developing from west to east towards this evening.
There could be a few gusty winds and the potential
of some heavy rain with any thunderstorms that develop.
Then after midnight, there's going to be some showers,
it's going to be windy, and it's turning colder.
By the morning hours, other Saturday temperatures will be in the 40s
and feels like temperatures in the 30s.
We have showers in the morning on Saturday,
then they're going to go to sunshine in the afternoon.
Saturday's temperatures are only around 54.
Right now, those showers go
to Saturday around 9 o'clock in the morning.
If you've got to be on the ball field during the morning hours,
you're going out a gusty wind with temperatures in the low to mid 40s.
We are watching a few spotty showers this afternoon.
You're going to notice breaks of sunshine developing.
Here's our cold front. This is arriving,
most of us, around 6 to 8 o'clock this evening.
That's where we have the threat of those showers and storms.
Hour by hour we go. Late afternoon we break out to some sunshine.
Temperatures near 70 degrees in West Babylon.
6 to 8 o'clock, that's our main time frame.
We're watching these showers and storms.
And then the thunderstorm threat weakens
by 10 o'clock. It's just a plain rain.
Some gusty winds this afternoon around 25 miles per hour.
And with the thunderstorms moving through,
we could have some wind gusts around 40 miles per hour.
Rain showers into tomorrow morning.
They're done by around 9 a.m. out over the east end.
and then the clouds will give way to sunshine for your afternoon hours.
So 54 for your high on Saturday.
Morning showers, Sunday afternoon, looks good, 56 degrees and dry.
So the rest of today, temperatures 60s to low 70s.
We're tracking those showers and storms this evening.
And if you're heading on out for the spooky day forecast,
keep an eye on those thunderstorms for this evening.
Tomorrow morning, it's much colder.
Take a look at that.
Temperatures are in the 40s.
Showers through Saturday morning at 9 a.m.
Skies will clear.
A gusty wind.
Some frost possible Sunday morning at 38,
and then most of the next week right now is dry.
