we're still going to be below our normals of 66 and 49. even up the hudson valley valley it's 56 in poughkeepsie and kingston where there's some sun breaking out here. a little bit of sun that's been breaking out in connecticut, 55 out across long island and 50 at montauk. that east wind, though, does make it feel a little chilly. western lield show here, western -- long island sound here, shelter island, gardner's island, out to plum, that east wind makes it feel a little chilly. there were a couple sprinkles here, but it's all mostly back here with this system, kind of glides some showers our way tonight. so this evening the temperatures are going to drop on off and probably we hit 55 to 58 for the high. tonight about 8:00 there are showers around, so you're out and about, you'll have those. and the temperature tomorrow morning going to be around 49, but the sun is breaking out and saturday is going to be a great day, but sunday rain prior to sunrise is and we'll have a rainy day on sunday into the afternoon. next seven hours we actually

the skies, some holes pop up in there and the wind will still be out of the east which is kind of cool and kind of chilly, but it is dry. now tomorrow another wave of low pressure is going to start to come from the west and that will mean the rain for sunday. but saturday the better half of the weekend with a lot of sunshine. rain and drizzle, just kind of going to be the spotty stuff until we get to tonight and that's when you'll run into a shower. this evening if you're out, clouds break for sunshine tomorrow. saturday is a gorgeous day. here we go. sunday we're looking at rain. it will rain until about 3:00, and then taper off to showers into sunday night. there could be a couple of showers on monday, and then as you see on tuesday we start warming to some more normal numbers, up to 68 by the time we get to wednesday. so that's going to be pretty nice. otherwise, you know, 50/50 weekend we got here. sunshine tomorrow and some rain on sunday. hope you have a great weekend. >> you too, bill. thank you. comedian will ferrell is set to play former president
