The late, legendary Bronx educator Robert Leder was honored with a new street name over the weekend.

A portion of East Tremont Avenue will share its name with the man who served as principal for decades at Lehman High School.

He was known and loved for his commitment to his students until his retirement in 2008. He passed away in 2018.

Former students of all ages returned to Lehman High School on Saturday for the unveiling of the new street sign. Rep. Ritchie Torres and Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr., who both attended Lehman under Leder, were among the attendees.

Back now for checking that hyperlocal forecast and you can kind of feel it around a and the rain is coming. Yeah, it is an unfortunate timing here for the evening commute. So you definitely want to have your umbrellas, especially for the next several hours as the rain will ramp up, start off on the light side become a steadier rain widespread all across the borough and not just the borough, if you're planning, let's say to head into the city or out towards Queens or Long Island, you'll see that rain really pretty much 67 o'clock hour everywhere across the city and then it'll quickly tail off. So later on for any Friday night plans, if you're planning to be out late, it'll be dry. You just gotta get through about eight or 9 p.m. And then into the weekend we start off dry and the better half of the weekend for sure is going to be on Saturday expecting the big 60, might be the last time this year we're going to see the 60 degree mark. I know it's already December and it's not common to see sixties or above. Back to reality for Sunday back to about 53 still a couple of degrees above average for this time of year, but it will come with rain and this threat is increasing. Let's take a look at the future cast even as soon as Saturday night, a couple of showers now being picked up on future casts. Certainly possible. Especially if a coastal storm tries to form. That part of the storm system weakens as it comes through Sunday morning, a little bit of a break and then more rain arrives at around lunchtime. So late brunch, lunch plans definitely move them inside or just move those plants to tomorrow because tomorrow's going to be dry into the afternoon, expecting some moderate pockets of rain to be moving in. This is at about three o'clock then heading towards the four and five o'clock hour. Same deal. The potential is there for some heavier batches of rain. So definitely I have that yellow highlight there on that 10 day forecast. And listen, it's a quick mover. So Monday morning, honestly, we're fine morning commute looks good. The rest of the week looks ok. But colder, you said 53 is a couple degrees above where we normally, what is our normal temperature for normal is about 50 right now, still pretty warm and we're gonna be over that this weekend. Thank you.
