Welcome back when you hear that sound, you know what that means. We're on storm watch with storm watch team, meteorologist Christy Campana. So Christy, we know the rain is coming, but that's not all right. Yeah. No, we can't rule out any gusty winds either. And those two combined really create for a messy kind of system that's headed our way. And like we said, 2 to 4 inches of rain is expected and that majority is gonna be overnight tonight and that can create some problems for your morning commute if there is localized flooding, which like we said, we can't rule out, but let's go straight to it and see, you know, an hour by hour where the system is coming in and this is two o'clock today. So we see the system just approaching here for the afternoon and we could see some batches of heavy downpours throughout the afternoon. But the majority of this is going to be a little bit later. This is 3 p.m. We see this light to moderate rain, these yellow colors really on the outskirts of the city and then maybe a break here and there by around five o'clock your dinner time. But then the majority of this hits around 8 to 10 o'clock and we see this orange, yellow and red and this is our more moderate, steady and even heavy rain that is headed our way and that's to continue overnight for your overnight hours. And that majority of it just past 1 a.m. two AM, we see it start to get slightly lighter around then and then by 6 a.m. we see it really start to push off and push out to the ocean and it clears up just a bit. We can't rule out a lingering shower until around seven or 8 a.m. And then it clears up really by mid to late morning and we could see even the sun come back out around your mid to mid morning to afternoon before the sunset, which is a good thing, but that flooding can still stick around and that comes with these gusty winds. So sustained winds of around 15 to 20 miles an hour and this is 8, 30 twenties we're seeing and then uh change in direction. This becomes a north wind as it's passing and we could see up to 3040 miles an hour. So really take anything in outdoors and just be cautious through the next couple of days. And let's take a look at 10 day forecast. We are in storm watch overnight. We're gonna see heavy rain, gusty winds and that breezy and those gusty winds continue a bit into your Tuesday. It's gonna be breezy but the sun is out and temperatures are back to seasonable for the rest of the week.

Well, here's some lighthearted news. Well, these as athletes may have disabilities, but something else they have is heart and passion while they put that on full display this morning on the court and in the pool at this year's Special Olympics in Fieldston while news 12 Julio Avila was there and shows us their game. Mm hmm. Basketball. You know, it's good, high paced, fast, fast and shooting. It's also William Garcia's favorite sport. He was one of the roughly 170 athletes with disabilities, ready to showcase their talents at this year's Special Olympics and any chance we can support on a great competition and give him a chance to showcase their abilities. It makes me feel good as soon as the game starts. David your undies is the brain behind organizing the special olympics. The athletes and fans came together at Fieldston Upper School and as randy says, just because they have disabilities doesn't mean you should count them out. It's going to get real in here. There's gonna be some bumping, there's gonna be some trash talk, just like any typical basketball game and our guys are here to showcase their talents and win. Give us an opportunity. We're normal people as well. I mean, we want, we want to be treated the same way you want to be treated as sure as you can see everyone here is getting ready to play some basketball, but it's not just basketball. Come with me and you're gonna see there also swimming one thing about being a specialist athletes, I've been an athlete for for almost 40 years and it's just, it's like a family, his sport family showcasing their swimming talents as they swam back and forth from end to end. They spectrum decathletes can definitely keep up with the regular athletes and they have the same support like the regular athletes have, uh, there's no stopping him. The Games also didn't stop today As the games continue into Sunday in Fieldston Julio Avila News 12.
