And storm watch team. Meteorologist, Alex Calamia, Alex. If folks are going out and about today for any of those winter activities, it looks like the rain is going to stop at some point. Right. Yeah. You know, I mean, but it might not be until after the day ends in a sense because sun sets before 430 now and I don't really see us getting a big break from the rain until the evening time. This is what it looks like. Right now in midtown, it's a light rain. You might actually be able to head outside without even using the umbrella. I personally have a rain jacket because I think that's kind of your best bet. This evening, we still have some sprinkles, but we are dry for a work week. I mean, I don't want to talk about the work week on a Sunday morning, but if you're looking for something positive, I've got that for you in the 10 day. Here's 9 a.m. soaker, here's lunch time, still dealing with at least light showers. You see the green is a lighter shade here so it's not as widespread. It's not as heavy of a rain. But we still have some rain at four o'clock again. It's not absolutely pouring, but it's light mist, gloomy, kind of just, you know, not good weather, but it's not going to be anything really significant as far as rainfall totals. They're very limited. So we're maybe looking at half of an inch of rain when it's all said and done. Monday morning. Lots of sunshine. Beautiful start to the day and then the clouds push in Monday afternoon and we'll have cooler temperatures. By Tuesday. We're in the upper forties now. We're in the low fifties for highs today. Not a big jump in temperature. East breeze coming in. It feels really chilly tonight. Not bad. We're in the forties again. We do have sunshine by Monday morning. So a good feel as you're getting, the kids ready for school are heading out to work. We do hit mid ff on Monday and again, no rain after today for the whole work week. So that's something to be happy about, but it will get cold Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday too, by the way, will feel like it is in the thirties.

Brownsville celebrates 50 years of hip-hop

Welcome back. Well, the celebrations continue across the boroughs and now the Brownsville community celebrated 50 years of hip hop today with a blog party. As you can see right there, the block is just shut down. Well, Denis got a glimpse of the fun for us and what are they playing? That's right. I'm outside the Stone Avenue branch of the Brooklyn Public Library. And those DJ S behind me have been keeping the party going all afternoon playing all types of hip hop music from old schools and new, new stuff. And as you can see on this side, it's keeping people of all ages dancing all afternoon. There's all types of games and references to the long history of hip hop here. Organizers tell me this event is a way to bring the community together on a beautiful summer afternoon while celebrating the deeply rooted hip hop culture here in Brooklyn continues to influence generations. We are highlighting, you know, Brooklyn and what Brooklyn contributed and what the hip hop artists in Brooklyn contributed to hip hop is very important, especially in this Brownsville community because we have a lot of rappers from the neighborhood. So we feel like it's very important to pay homage to these guys. And Brooklyn Public Library branches across the borough are organizing tons of events this summer to celebrate the 50th anniversary of hip hop. So we'll link a few of those on our website at news 12 dot com in Brownsville and Dennis News 12. Right.
