Walking weather to be warm

Many stranded LIRR commuters may find themselves walking much more if the strike continues.

Beginning Saturday, a warming trend is forecast for Long Island and the entire region.

The National Weather Service says afternoon temperatures Saturday will be in the mid-70s and Sunday’s afternoon highs will be in the mid-to-upper 80s.

Monday’s temperatures return to the 70s; Tuesday is forecast to exceed 80, forecasters said.
