A sunny forecast & mid-November warmup for Long Island

Alright, time now for another check of your hyper-local forecast with Alex. Hi, Alex. Hey to you, Julia. Hey to the sunshine in Bethpage and on Fire Island and across the island. This is the start of an amazing stretch, so I'm very excited to share, but it's cold. We've got to talk about why it's cold and how long that aspect of this is going to last. So, temperatures right now, they're in the 30s, and we're going to be pretty chilly for the start of the week in the morning time. We have more sunshine out there today than we've seen in days, and it's going to keep on getting sunnier. No rain, possibly all the way through Thanksgiving. We're going to talk about that in a few minutes, but first, I want to get you through your day today. If you have any cold things, sneezing, any issues with allergies, it's not going to be a problem for really the foreseeable future. The mold levels are very low with that northwest wind, too, so that's a positive. Temperatures, they're in the 40s this morning by the time you get to 9 or 10 o'clock, But right now, many of us are in. And it'll feel like it's in the 30s until the middle of the morning because it's still a little breezy, but no cloud cover on this future cast until the afternoon, then just light thin clouds passing through. It's a great day. When you're in the sunshine, it feels pretty pleasant, but when you're in the shade, it feels cold. Monday morning, 30s across the island. Frost is possible in a few spots on Monday morning and on Tuesday morning. It's some of our coldest weather so far this season, but it warms up nicely in the afternoon. You're in the 50s. Evening commute, you're in the 40s on Monday. Here is the rain forecast for the next seven days. All the model guidance has us staying dry, completely dry. Zeroes on the rain gauges here. We have high pressure overhead, and that is in control of this forecast for the foreseeable future. So every day. It's like climbing a staircase and the top of that staircase, the warmest temperatures Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, next Sunday. Temperatures are in the mid 60s. So if you felt like this weekend's been just a little bit chilly for you next weekend, seven days out already looking great. When you have a forecast like this with high pressure, it actually makes a lot. It's easier to look into the extended range. So sometimes we can't tell you three, four days out with confidence. But this forecast, we could say at least through Friday or Saturday, we're going to stay nice and dry. It becomes a little bit more of a question mark for Thanksgiving week. But so far, that is looking dry, too.
