>> so much more than the awards and the fashions. it got a little political, too. >> very political. >> absolutely. >> i like when chris rock, when he said about men's fashions at the awards. >> yes. >> a suit. >> and blue is the hot color. >> i got the joke. it is funny. >> george clooney comes out here in a green tux. >> and people are going to be asking, you know, what are you wearing? >> that's right. who did that. >> here is what is going on. the blue skies, there are some more of the blue skies. as we are going to see some sunshine popping out here, now from west to east as we go on into the afternoon. the rain is pushed east, and most of it is heading on out, toward the eastern long island area, as a pumper goes right up the hudson river. and some home heating oil up the east river and 47 degrees, our temperature, and the humidity is 77%, and the winds continue southwest at 5. and so we are going to be looking at that barometer still unstable at 29.65. that is a little bit of wind

and yesterday's high was 60. and normal is 45. and here are the records, for leap day. and 69 and 4, back in the 1880s. that's the records for this day. looking at a shower continuing for another hour. still very mild. it is wet on wednesday. with tumbling temperatures. and a period of snow, still possible, on friday. all right, it is 47 in murray hill. riverdale, 49. and 53 on staten island. that is going to be about 55 down the shore. some very nice numbers here and looking at a southwest wind. 10, 12 miles per hour and that will continue through the afternoon, and then some cooler air will start to come in out of the northwest. with the second front coming through. here are the showers we are talking about on the eastern long island ear. east of bridgeport to new haven across to riverhead, the twin forks, and shelter island, and hampton, montauk, with that line of showers. and clear out this afternoon with sunshine and the next front comes by with some colder air. so we will have an early shower, from the afternoon, and now that is going to be winding down.

it will be a beautiful sunset. and the temperature around 59. and tonight, partly cloudy around 38. and then tomorrow, we have some sunshine. and it a nice day, and the rain comes in around midnight tomorrow night. and it lasts through the morning commute on wednesday. and then the temperatures drop on down to 26 for the low wednesday night. and we are looking at sunshine, chilly weather for thursday. and we have 28 on thursday night. right there. that will set us up for another little system coming by with some precipitation that will give us some snow and it doesn't look to be a lot. but it looks to be enough to be a nuisance. where that can louse up things for travel on friday if you're trying to get into or out of the city friday into friday night. and then we have some sunshine, and some cooler numbers coming up, for the weekend. so there you go. i like it. >> good looking. >> yes. >> i think the weekend looks fine. >> we just got a lot of up and down weather and march is like a lion, and heading toward that. >> and those people who still want snow, you may have a chance this friday. >> there you go. >> you will keep us posted. we know.
