BXFORECAST

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.

How Poly Prep is building a Brooklyn baseball dynasty

BXSPORTS81210P

back to news 12. I'm Pat O'keefe in Bay Ridge Brooklyn. The polyp prep baseball team has become one of the dominant high school sports programs in all of new york city in any sport coached by one of their own 1992 poly alum matt Montini. The Blue Devils won the ivy prep championship in 2007 And they have one everyone since I think my best decisions of my career came early when I decided that I was going to make this a priority rather than just an activity for the kids. So we kind of made it, I don't say year round because kids working around, but it was more of a priority. It wasn't just show up in March one try to play and and move on. Polly has become a destination for top baseball talent in new york city this past year's team which finished 19 and four included players who will be attending Harvard Vanderbilt and the University of Pennsylvania. But Robin Teeny remembers a time when recruiting players was not as easy as it has become. My first year. I was at a place in Staten Island trying to identify student athletes and we weren't very good as a program at the time. We were kind of on the down side. And I remember being there and overhearing a kid saying I'm not going to, I'm going to very and I took it personal, you know, I never, I don't even know who the kid is this day, but I remember saying that's not gonna happen again this past april the new season began with the opening and dedication of Polly's brand new home field, Matt Rovin teeny Field. Its special just because of the amount of time I put into the place and what was even more special the day that it happened. Um those are grand opening and celebration, a lot of bells and whistles. That was fun. But the fun part for me was all the kids that came back that sat to stand kids, many of whom are now adults who are part of this continued legacy of winning 10 independent school state championships since 2007.
