BXFORECAST

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.

City celebrates 1st natural gas project in Greenpoint  

0614newtowncreekenergy530P

City just got a whole lot cleaner. Today was the celebration of the first natural gas project at Newtown Creek in Green Point News, 12 Archer has the latest on how this process of renewable gas is benefiting everyone. The sound of excitement as the city developed a new way to turn waste into renewable natural gas, we take different waste, whether it's food waste that you would throw into garbage waste water that comes through the waste water systems. All those things naturally decompose into methane, which is a really potent greenhouse gas and take those waste streams, capture it, clean it and turn it into healthy gas that will ultimately heat homes in our city. This process comes to life at the Newton Creek Wastewater resource recovery facility. So all that methane that would be going into the atmosphere and being with no use and adding carbon captured, used and actually significantly reduces the amount of carbon that is let into the atmosphere every year. A 10 year long project. Now in action with the help from the New York City Department of Environmental Protection, the national grid, the Department of Sanitation, Newton Creek, and many more, all were excited to see their hard work paying off. We are capturing enough gas to power 2500 in nearby neighborhoods and we will grow to realize our potential to nearly double that. A goal that's now possible as this project lowers greenhouse gas emissions, uses current waste streams to produce renewable energy, uses existing natural gas to turn it into renewable fuel and converts food waste into renewable energy. A project that benefits our city for news 12. I'm.
