A harmon has the details for us. Absolutely. We're looking murky is a great word for it. In terms of the overnight, you could have some visibility issues when you see some of those thunderstorms moving through. And we're going to continue to have that thunderstorm risk as we head into the second half of our weekend. So in terms of our Sunday, we not only have that con back the risk of a level two and the tornado concerns, but we also have a flash flood risk. So we could see I isolated flash flooding and that could be due to some localized downpours. And again, the best way to figure out kind of where that could be is where see that ponding or puddling whenever it rains. In terms of timing this out, we could notice some storms for the rest of the overnight and throughout our morning, unfortunately, this could continue throughout the day. Really, we have several rounds of storms that we could be seeing throughout and we're going to be keeping an eye on all of it. There will be plenty of times when things are dry and maybe not too bad just on the muggy, hot, humid side. But then as we get into the later part of our Sunday is where we have that severe weather concerns. You can see a strong line of storm moving through as we get into the later parts of the evening that has the potential to just kind of bloom into some very nasty weather. So that could be where we, we're seeing some of that more severe weather, but we have in general that risk for the whole day. So in terms of these impacts that we could see through the rest of our weekend, we could see heavy rain. I think there's a moderate risk of that, especially in isolated areas. And then as we head into that, we could also see some gusty winds likely where we also have those areas of the heavy rain that low but not non zero risk of tornadoes and all this could combine to impact some power. So want to keep that in mind as you're heading into the rest of the weekend, but those temperatures going to be getting up into the higher 80 some places seeing the low nineties. So a lot of the available fuel for thunderstorms to kind of draw on with that kind of heat and that kind of humidity. But then as we get into the work week, things are dry, things are more pleasant. So we just kind of have to get through a stormy Sunday in general. And then we have several days of very nice weather.

Turning to the weather, it's probably not a good day to run or at least, uh, when the rain is coming through, we've got Skyler D Harmon here, Skyler, we've got rain moving into our area. We have rain. We have that severe weather risk uh throughout our late Sunday. So that's kind of what we're dealing with for the rest of the weekend, we have that risk of severe weather. The chances of gusty thunderstorms cloud to ground lightning, the stray chance of a tornado. And then in addition to that, we also have flash flooding possible because as these storms move through, there could be some is isolated pockets where you have some downpours that could lead to some flooding. So just a general rule to keep is that anywhere that tends to accumulate water when it rains even a little bit, that's the places that are going to be more vulnerable as you head into that flash flood risk. Now, timing this out, we could see some storms moving through. There are several rounds of this. We could have around in the morning. We could have some times where things are nice and dry and then we could see more rounds as we head into the later parts of the day, especially the evening. I want to keep an eye on because we have all this humidity. We have these temperatures getting up into the eighties that offers some fuel for some storms. So all that together could combine for that severe weather risk, especially in the second half of our Sunday. But then as this clears out, we have a nice Monday on t things are much better, much drier, clearer, gonna be pleasant. In general, temperatures are a little cooler as well. So we will take what we can get where we can get it, but we do have to through a nasty Sunday. First, in terms of temperatures were very warm for our Sunday at almost 90 degrees and we take almost a 10 degree dip into our Monday. So then we're going to be seeing temperatures mainly in the eighties for the rest of that work week. So in terms of rain, mainly a Sunday event, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday are looking nice and dry. So that's the good news. The Fourth of July, we're going to have some clouds and the chance of some rain.

Well, the weekend is here. We're hopeful for some more delightful weather. I mean, today was a nice preview. Right. We're looking at a time lapse right now over the Mario Cuomo. Very colorful. What are we looking at for this weekend? Addison Nikita. We do see some nice weather but also a chance for seeing some storms returning across our area. So hopefully you and everyone else get the chance to enjoy this fantastic Friday, Saturday, more humidity building up through the day. A chance for some late day rain slash storms. A high around 82 Sunday, warmer muggier afternoon, thunder storm changes do pop up with a cold front on the way as you look back for this day today, just to show you how wonderful it was. We had temperatures starting off in the mid ff not too far away from a record low high temperatures in the upper seventies that was below average. So we had a pristine day from start to finish. High pressure has been moving offshore, taking the dry air along the way with us. So we are watching hot and humid air off along an area of low pressure coming in from the west. So as we go through your future cast, walking out there towards the morning hours on Saturday, temperatures will be in the sixties and seventies feeling that way as well. Mostly cloudy skies through the day. For the most part, it's feeling close to the actual air temperature. So not too humid, just a little on the sticky side. But we do notice a few pop up showers are possible, especially towards the Catskill. So Sullivan County County, northwestern portions of Orange County, after about 7 to 9 o'clock, we're watching that line pushing from the west. So between 10 o'clock in the evening to two o'clock overnight, it's when we'll get a threat for some passing showers and thunderstorms as we move forward into Sunday morning, we start off the day with some clearing of the skies. That's why a lot of the sun to shine down warm things up. So temperatures close towards the afternoon time frame of two o'clock in the eighties and nineties feeling though much warmer than that portions of Westchester County may be in the mid nineties feeling around 100. So we're heating up. We're watching the thunderstorm potential come our way towards the 3 to 6 o'clock hour. Those storms come through behind it, cooler air up ahead of it. It will be very warm and muggy and then those storms move out of here by Sunday night. And just to show you that we have cooler, dry air coming down, see those blue numbers right there. It's gonna be like how it was for this Friday. So we do have a pair of really nice days coming away for early on next week. Tuesday though is the pick of the week though. It's gonna be beautiful though for both Monday and Tuesday as we move forward from Wednesday to Thursday. Here comes the fourth of July getaway. Humidity is building thunderstorm. Chances are popping up with a high of around 89. All right.

LIFORECAST

Be like for anyone who has plans because we're on storm watch right now as we see some weather heading towards this overnight. Unfortunately, the best thing that we've talked about all night has been those Friday Oreos because, uh, it's just gonna be another mess for us on Sundays getting into it. This is what we have going on for us across Long Island. Now, the thing is, is that it's gonna be very periodic throughout the course of the day, but we have a level two slight risk from the storm prediction center for the entire island for seeing strong or even severe storms. So it's pretty likely that we will see them going into our early afternoon and for around the dinner time hours between four and maybe even eight o'clock. But in itself, we're looking for threats to be mainly some high winds up to about 50 MPH. Some hail that's close to about an inch diameter. Tornado is possible, but definitely on the lower scale for us, heavy rainfall though will be a bit of an issue and overnight we're still gonna be dealing with some lingering showers for us. Still breezy across Long Island. So don't think the winds are gonna go much of anywhere. However, we are looking for guidance to give in rain and storms to start off a little bit earlier. Just before noon tomorrow, we could start to see some firing off of heavy downpours along the south shore areas near Bay Shore. Fire Island could start to see some heavier rainfall and storms and then close to seven o'clock between six and seven from the North shore from Huntington to Glen Cove, Smithtown and Rocky Point, heavy rainfall. And this will be our last line of storms moving its way through before things start to clear up. Heading into our Monday night. Now, we're looking for between about an inch, maybe an inch and a half of rainfall in total across the island for many of us once over the next about 36 hours from the three separate rounds of rainfall. So just be prepared again, it's going to be windy and on top of it's the heavy rainfall. So if you have any loose items outdoors, just make sure you bring them in, especially when you have the time to do it. A few of those rounds of storms again are gonna carry into from not only the overnights before our Sunday, early morning and early afternoon, around dinner time. Once we're done with Sunday, Monday is going to be much better smooth sailing until we get to the Fourth of July. All right, Julian thank you for the.

Well, we've got these high rip current risks and we've got wet weather coming into our area this weekend, not the best weekend for a beach day. Right. Skyler. No, it's not looking like the rest of our weekend is going to be that beach conducive. But in terms of what we are looking at with this storm watch, let's time it out. So it's looking like it's gonna be, uh, pretty much now through the rest of the overnight and into our Sunday evening is when we're going to be tracking the possibility of some severe weather in terms of what hazards we could be seeing. We could be seeing some thunderstorms that could have some localized downpours that could lead to some isolated flash flooding. We could also see that there's a low chance of tornadoes but not a non zero chance of tornadoes. And we could see that cloud to ground lightning, just plenty of damaging wind gusts. In terms of that severe risk. It's going to be scattered, severe weather if that severe weather does come to fruition, not everyone is necessarily going to see it, but everyone should be aware of the weather. And as we head into our Sunday. This is what we're going to be looking at. We're waking up to some clouds and then as we head into the day, we could have some pockets where we have some of that more intense rain, we could be seeing light to moderate, but we could also have some pockets of that more moderate to heavy rain in terms of the day though, it's not a complete wash out. We're going to have plenty of moments when things are dry. But we could definitely notice as we get more into the afternoon that we could see more of those areas of that more intense rainfall that could come along with the potential for that severe weather. So want to be aware of that, that it continues throughout parts of the afternoon and as we head into the evening and overnight into our Monday, things are better. So that's the good news. It's mostly contained by Sunday evening. So there's something to look forward to is a beautiful Monday is expected with nice sunshine. Temperatures are a bit more pleasant as well. In terms of what we're expecting with that flash flood risk for tomorrow, it's looking like a low. So that means there could be isolated, flash flooding possible throughout the Bronx. But a good way to be aware of where could flood is a keep in mind where water accumulates where you see that ponding. But in terms of the 10 day forecast we're going to be around 90 degrees for our Sunday and then we're around 80 degrees for Monday. So almost a 10 degree drop. And then things are very pleasant temperature wise as we head into the beginning and middle parts of the week in the low eighties, Wednesday for Fourth of July looking like we could see the high eighties. So that's pleasant, could have some sun, could have some clouds, could have some rain. So we're going to keep an eye on all of that and keep you updated.

Into our hyper local forecast. So in terms of what we're looking at timing wise, we're concerned about the overnight. But our main concern is going to be the second half of our Sunday in terms of what we can expect, hazard wise, we could expect isolated downpours the risk of some damaging gusty winds, also tornadoes not ruled out and we could see some isolated flash flooding as well. In terms of that severe risk, it's going to be scattered a risk, but it is still possible. So looking at this, you can see that we're in this level two, which is that scattered, which means some of us could see severe weather but not necessarily all of us will. So, but it's good for all of us to be prepared. We could see some winds between 4060 MPH, possibly higher during our Sunday. We could see hail and there is the possibility of some tornadoes, take a look at our tornado threat. So we're on the low end, but you don't really want to be on any end of a tornado risk. So with that, there's the possibility of some stray tornadoes that could have some rotation. We're going to keep track of it all in detail. But in terms of flooding, we also have a low isolated flash flood risk. So again, we could just be seeing severe weather for some people, not necessarily all but take a look at what's happening tonight. Some strong storms trying to work their way through, that could definitely be additionally juiced up by some of the humidity by some of the warm temperatures. Temperatures overnight are not getting very cool. We're still in the low seventies and then our next concern is going to be into the second half of our Sunday where we could see a line of storms moving through the could blossom into something more intense. So we're going to keep an eye on everything in terms of humidity. We're going to have a humid Sunday and then things do get better. We're less humid on Monday, still a little muggy and similar for Tuesday. It's going to be better than Sunday, humidity wise, but not totally dry feeling necessarily in terms of rain. Our main rain day is going to be Sunday and then we're nice and dry for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The next chance of rain could maybe the fourth of July, but it's still a little bit out. So we'll keep an eye on that. It could just be a low chance of rain for right now. So we need to get through a hot, humid and potentially severe Sunday. And then things are very nice for the beginning of the work.

be Well: How to treat swimmers’ ear   

This summer's prime time for some ear problems and some of the most common you have your swimmers ear that popping, that happens on the plane and of course nasty allergy. So here with information to keep our ears healthy is miracle ear audiologist. Doctor Victoria Zambrano. Thanks so much for joining us. So I want to start with swimmers here. And what exactly causes that and what we should be doing essentially what happens is the water from us. Swimming gets stuck inside the wax in our ears and can't drain properly. Very common in Children because the position of their ears. So what we do to prevent that is we do encourage ear plugs. I actually brought some with me. Basically, you want to seal off the ear like I've done here and it makes good seal with the ear keeps water from getting in. That's like a custom one because that fit just right in there. I had custom ones made, but you can get the generic ones in the drugstores as well. They fit into the ear. You just gotta make sure it fits in there. Nice and snug. Ok? And one of the ways that actually, we end up increasing our chance of getting swimmers ear is what is swimming well, way too much and then pushing ear, excuse me, pushing wax into the ears with Q tips or sticking your fingers in your ears that just packs everything further inside. And now, obviously summer allergies is another, you know, thing that really affects people's ears and they feel like they can't clear it. So it's about keeping everything clear, draining saline, things of that nature just can help drain the sinus cavities. And if people end up having issues with their hearing, it can also affect their mental health. Unfortunately. Yes, because we don't actually understand with their ears, we hear with our ears, but we understand with our brain. So if the ear isn't hearing properly, it can't tell our brain what we're hearing and things like dementia, Alzheimer's cognitive decline and some of those signs and symptoms would be, our older relatives might withdraw from social endeavors, right. Those are the signs and symptoms of early hearing loss. So we want to be preventative and have our hearing checked sooner rather than later. And if our ear issues really are allergy related besides medicine, what are some of the other things that we can do to try to ourselves? It's basically, uh, washing our ears like in the shower, right? Yes. You wanna just flush the ears on a regular basis. So when you take a shower, let some warm water run into the ear, um, peroxide every so often is also a good idea because it does help drain out any excess build up that might accumulate. And now if you have that, I'm gonna call it airplane ear. I don't know what the technical term is, but that feeling where you can't quite like get that. I don't know. What is it, air trapped in there? Whatever it is, it is pressure that's built up because our E station tube has collapsed. Ok. The suation tube is what essentially equalizes the pressure from the outside world and inside of our body. So in order to keep that pressure equal, you wanna try yawning because it does help break the pa the opening. But if you're unable to do that when traveling on an airplane again, ear protection or custom plugs because it does help seal the ear chewing gum while you're flying as well. That helps because you're keeping everything moving. Ok? And we're gonna get those earplugs, not only for swimming, but probably for some of the concerts that are really loud. Thank you so much for being here. I appreciate it.
