We are now turning back to this storm watch, Allen. Today, we saw some flurries in the air, but I understand we have quite literally a storm brewing. Oh, for sure. It's actually getting on to the Pacific coast of America. It has a pretty long way to get here, but we know it's coming and that's why we're on storm watch, make sure that you're prepared for the second half of the weekend and into the start of next week because this is one of the big changes that we have from this time. Yesterday, the time of the storm seems to be a little bit later. Let's take a look at that future cast. This is at six o'clock showing that rain six pm in the evening. Basically morning activities. You're fine. Actually doing a little bit of a brunch. You'll probably get away without needing the umbrella, in fact, but after lunchtime, that's when the rain will start to pick up and it will pick up pretty much in a hurry. By the time we get to midnight, it'll be pretty much, uh, a steady, if not heavier rain. And then what I'm worried about this is a very summer like storm. Actually, when you're starting to see this yellow showing up, it almost looks like a squall line. Remember today it's Thursday. We're talking about Sunday night to see this already showing up on future Cast. That's a good indication that we are going to see some, not just heavy rain but windswept rain. Take a look at these wind gusts 40 to 50 MPH that could cause some wind damage. That also includes not just the trash cans. It also includes of course, the holiday decorations, those lights, any sort of loose items, either secure them or bring them inside before Sunday afternoon because by the evening time already wind gusts approaching 40 MPH and then as the heaviest of the rain arrives at around midnight or just after this is at 1 a.m. right along the water. This is especially where I'm worried about south of the Belt Parkway along, let's say Oriental Boulevard in Manhattan, out to Surf Avenue, Coney Island, Bergen Beach as well. Mill Avenue, Mill Basin. Something to keep in mind because those winds could be over 50 MPH. Looking at the rest of the 10 day. It's the big temperature drop after the storm, we're going from 65 to 35. That is a drop. So I've got to get my rain boots, my umbrella maybe cancel my plans or move them to Saturday. We'll see. Thanks Alan

7.6giglio

thank you all right, it is that time of year. Once again, the kickoff of the Giulio Feast of Mount Carmel is back and clearly in full swing literally looks like a good time like always and news Charles Maryland buckley. Well she's the lucky one. She got to head out to Williamsburg to capture this special tradition. The feast is back, the delicious food, the thrills games and of course tradition, look at the great faith of these people as we celebrate this wonderful evening, the beginning of 12 days in honor of our Lady of Mount Carmel and san Pelino DeNicola. Look at the streets filled with people to come out to honor our lady. It's a wonderful experience. God bless you all from the people running it all. I'm doing this close to 50 years. It's a family tradition. My grandmother started it and I took over because her name was lucy and my name is lucy to, there's so many that have come out to honor our Lady of Mount Carmel, that statue over there down the block it's, it's seven stories tall. It's over two tons and there's over 100 and 50 guys that lifted a long standing tradition and celebration of italian culture. So my great grandpa started this piece is when he came over from Italy and it's really important to me, my family has been doing it ever since. So I love it. You know, you just get a real nice local flavor and a lot of good food and nobody eats anymore. It's all here, the drinks, the games and of course the food and of course I had to ask around what's the best thing to get for dinner. And the number one answer I got was sausage and peppers from lucy. So of course I do what I'm told. Let's try it one bite Delicious, Wow, so, so good. And you still have time to get yours. Don't forget this feast. It runs until the 17th, right here in Williamsburg for News 12, I'm Mary Ellen Buckley, mary Lynn.
