Heritage Night, Free Afternoon Movie Ahead for Friday

Good morning, Deer Park & North Babylon. Here's what Thursday is looking like in town.

Weather

Sunny weather returns to the area for the end of the week with highs right around 68 degrees and a bit windy during the daytime. Those gusts do not go away as night falls – clear skies though with a low around 50 degrees.

Traffic

Construction around the area seems to be at an end, but Sunrise Highway and the Southern State Parkway are always packed in the morning. If for some reason you need to head eastbound on the Ocean Parkway, prepare for backups with the roadway under emergency reconstruction following a recent storm's damage. Check out the traffic map above for up-to-date info.
