All right, we are on storm watch on this Friday afternoon. Alan's back now as we've got a storm coming Sunday, that's got rain and strong winds. Right. Alan, right. So those loose holiday decorations, Dan, I don't know if you have any that are loose. I would either secure them or move them in and what better way than to do it then on Saturday. Because listen, it is going to be beautiful, a beautiful experience. 55 and sunny on a Saturday in December. That does not happen very often. So, take it of that because on Sunday it's going to get a whole lot worse. Sure. The temperature says 65 and that's actually near a record high, which is 71 of the warmest December days we've had in a long time, but it will be coming in with those storms and it's going to be a little bit of a rough ride heading into the evening hours. Let's take a look at the latest timing. Here's how I can break this down as best as possible to your neighborhoods heading into Sunday and Monday start time is likely 9 a.m. on Sunday. It will be on and off showers, some steady rain and the wind will slowly but surely pick up throughout the course of the afternoon after nine pm. On Sunday through the wee hours of Monday morning, that's when you want to stay home. Don't have anyone, any loved ones going outside. Make sure your pets are also secure because they might be a little bit loud there with some of the wind gusts howling as well as the lightning and the thunder as well. There will also be some of those again damaging wind gusts through 4 a.m. And then throughout course of the morning commute on Monday, things taper off very quickly. It's like, wait, it did it even rain. That's kind of what it's going to be like. Heading into the morning commute on Monday. Let's take a look at the future cast again. Seven in the morning, we're dry heading after 9 a.m. Here comes the rain over head our borough. We're going to see some pockets of moderate rain. This is at around lunchtime for North Bay Chester as well as Bathgate. Then a little bit of a lull here and there on and off showers is the best way to describe it. But then here we go into the evening hours as the rain picks up becomes heavy in a hurry. We're seeing some of that heavy rain. Wakefield Co op City approaching the midnight hour and on top of that wind gusts continue to be a concern, especially along the coastline. Take a look approaching midnight, how we could get 50. That's right. 50 mile per hour gusts hunts point frogs, Neck City Island that could cause some scattered power outages. Again. When you have these wind gusts approaching 50 MPH. That is definitely a concern for no matter where you are across our borough, but especially for our coastal community. So let's take a look at that 10 day forecast. And what you're also going to see are the temperatures we're talking about what, 65 by Sunday evening, but then we're down to freezing by Monday night. So this is going to be a big temperature drop behind the storm. A lot of rain is flooding going to be an issue. Flooding is a possibility, especially on the prone areas like the Bronx River and Mashalu. We've seen that flooding counting those times and we're probably going to see it again. Best idea though, as Alan said Sunday night into Monday morning, just stay home. All right. Thank you Al.

‘Day of Unity’ – Sunset Park residents reflect on harrowing subway shooting

csunity416

Thank you Julio and onto the latest as the Brooklyn community is still trying to recover from the violence that erupted in Sunset Park. It's been less than a week since at least 23 people were injured in the Brooklyn subway shooting. The people of Sunset Park continuing to heal after that act of violence News 12's Kurt Center tells us how Saturday's day of unity made all the difference. This was not just another day in the park. The Sunset Park community coming together saturday for one reason to hell, It was just days ago that a gunman opened fire in a crowded subway car causing terror in a station that many of the people here today have used before. So city council member Alexa Aviles who represents the area alongside assembly member Marcella Martinez put together this day of unity. Local leaders gathering to create a space for relaxation, reflection and healing. What do you hope that everybody here gets out of this today? I think a little healing, a little, a little love being together, We were coming out of a pandemic where we haven't had much gathering in person, we're still in a pandemic. But you know, I think just feeling a little joy, joy has been hard to come by these past few days. That's why groups like the healing center and Academy for Medical and Public Health Services were on hand to offer mental health resources to a community that may be feeling anxious as we were doing healing circles and having conversations with community members throughout this entire week. What we heard was there was just a fear of parents taking their kids to work, kids taking the subway to school by themselves and simply just being out on the streets. Public advocate Germany Williams, applauding the efforts of his fellow elected officials said no one's stepping in, we're going to step in and we're going to have some healing moments. We're going to let the community know, listen, we know something traumatic happened, Whether you witnessed it, whether someone, you know, witness it, we were affected, let's take a moment and deal with that. Even the neighborhood's youngest taking part with messages to Sunset Park and games and crafts to let them know it's okay to have some fun letting loose a minute and just seeing each other, right is heart filling. And if the goal of today was to put smiles on people's faces after the events of this traumatic week, well, you don't have to look far to see that It's definitely been a success in Sunset Park Kurt Sender News 12
