BXFORECAST

Welcome back. We're checking back in with storm watch team, meteorologist, Alex Calamia, Alex. You were actually saying today is going to be a little warmer than the last few days. Yeah, it is 56. We love to see that and we've got the sunshine too at least, are we this morning? But the clouds will thicken a bit. So let's talk about that. Um We definitely are expecting fifties, which is beautiful all afternoon. But then we've got to talk about the elephant in the room which is Sunday in the morning. This time tomorrow we have drizzle, very light winds. Not a big problem. As far as that goes early in the morning, steady rain though develops throughout the later half of the afternoon. Dinner time could be a wash and the evening will also come with really gusty wind that could reach 40 MPH. So, so let's just take a screenshot of this. Just enjoy your Saturday. Enjoy even Sunday morning. We don't have any huge problems. Highs should reach Loga mid F because of that south breeze. Places like Marine Park, Coney Island rockaways. You're all looking a little bit cooler than just a little inland Bushwick in the mid fifties tonight for a little bit of fog. It looks good though. We're dry for dinner time and we're dry even very early Sunday morning. But around this time tomorrow, we will see a few quick little spritzes and that will continue until lunch. So the first half of Sunday is not a total washout, but you should have the umbrella all day. Sunday. The wind is going to pick up and temperatures actually continue to climb after the sun sets. We probably don't hit 60 until 67 o'clock at night, which is just ridiculous. And obviously that does come with some problems because all of that air is literally fueling these storms. Now, we're not necessarily listening to thunder with this, but it will be lots of heavy rain, gusty wind through, I would say about dinner all the way to bedtime and even after midnight, look at some of this wind gust at midnight, we're near 30 to 40 mile per hour. Gusts right along the Atlantic communities there. So she bay could see 40 mile per hour gusts JFK. If you know anybody coming in from a flight that's going to be a problem Sunday evening, Monday morning commute. It is breezy but it is dry so no problems for a Monday morning commute. Latest model guidance showing possibly 2 to 3 inches of rain. I do think some of that's a little over exaggerated. Another model showing still two inches of rain. So definitely rain is the name of the game. We're going to have plenty of it and unfortunately that could cause some localized flooding. It is dry though for the whole work week. Alright.

Knicks season on the brink in do-or-die Game 5 at MSG

Ok. Well, the NBA playoffs are back in New York and it is do or die for the Knicks as they need a win tonight against the Miami Heat to keep their season alive. Knicks fans don't be mad at me. I'm calling Heat in five news, co sports director Pat o'keefe has a preview from Madison Square Garden 13 times in NBA history. A team has fallen behind three games to one in a best of seven series and come back to win that series. If the Knicks are going to become the 14th team to do it, then it's got to begin here tonight. I've been here before. So it helps having the fans, you know, on your side in this one, but whether it's here or on the road to try to do whatever it takes to win, whatever it takes has to start with the hustle plays, rebounding and getting to loose balls. The heat grabbed seven offensive rebounds in the fourth quarter of their game four win, frustrating the Knicks time and again and making it virtually impossible for them to mount any sort of a comeback 1000%. The little things and, uh, games like this go a long way. It can be a deciding factor. Jalen Brunson says it also starts with focusing on the quote unquote little things. They have been a team who has dominated us the past couple of games on the defense, the rebound side of the ball. Um, for us, we just need to be better and, um, I think we have a chance tonight to kind of get back on track, but it starts with one quarter. Now, the very first time the Knicks and Heat met in the playoffs, their second round series back in 1997 was one of the instances of a team coming back from 31 down to win the series back then. It was the heat coming back to stun. The Knicks aided by suspensions stemming from the infamous Charlie Ward P J Brown brawl. We are here at Madison Square Garden for game five between the Knicks and the Heat. I'm Pat o'keefe news 12.
