and the numbers recover. i mean, nicely. 47. winds are variable at 5. ultimately, it's a west wind, so it's cooler tonight. 48 in sparta. 50 in babylon. 54 in belmar. i did have a few comments about how it feels nice and warm and windy down for the jersey shore. now, compared to yesterday, it's on average about 5 degrees cooler. we did hit 60 yesterday. so we're going to go with 58 today. planning on more of that sun and a bit of a bump. and you know, we'll be above normal. 69 and for your records, sun sets at 5:46. as far as the brightening skies. a little more sun, in through parts of the hudson valley. you can see, this is pretty steady rain, here through parts of nassau, into suffolk. it will continue its journey. and then the twin forks. and then we'll see a break. it's going to set up for a sunny day tomorrow. that line right there. could roll in later today. let's time it out for you, with the future cast, between now and, say, a little bit this afternoon.

unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto , watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto , tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto is the number one prescribed blood thinner in its class. well that calls for a round of kevin nealons. make mine an arnold palmer. same here. with xarelto there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto was the right move for us.
