So much going on! Update on the record warmth, then cold, and the big storm!!

- Record warmth continues with highs in the low to mid 70's today and mid 70's tomorrow on Long Island. The cold front comes through tomorrow morning, but the cold air lags behind, so very warm in the early to mid afternoon tomorrow. A few showers tomorrow in the early to mid morning with the front. Rapidly decreasing humidity in the early afternoon tomorrow! Then some cool days and cold nights Monday night to Wednesday night with Tuesday night being the coldest.

- The potential tropical system will head towards Florida and eventually pull northward and then NNE to NE. Depending on how close it comes to Long Island and southeastern New England, the potential is there for 2 to 5 inches of rain and gusty winds farthest east. The rain for Long Island generally looks to be from around late afternoon Friday until mid-afternoon Saturday, but timing can still change by around 4 hours either way.
