BXFORECAST

All right. Well, let's give you a check of your weather. Now with storm watch team, meteorologist, Alan. No, Alan, you would tell me a little bit about how I should plan out my weekend. What are we working with this week? Oh, yeah, it's going to be a 5050 weekend. And unfortunately that a negative side of the 5050 might be a biggie. But before we get to that, let's continue to talk about this cold because it's that December cold that out the door this morning this morning, you felt it tomorrow morning especially. You will want that winter jack. It'll actually be near freezing for northern parts of our borough. 32 for Riverdale. A bit milder. The farther south you go. So th 35 City Island, 37. But hat and scarf. I would recommend that for tomorrow morning and into the afternoon, the clouds will keep us chilly all day long. Honestly, me, we might touch that 40 degree mark briefly there at around two or three o'clock. But most of the day will be in the thirties. Should generally be dry. Can't roll out an isolated Sprinkle, but we have a chance for a couple of snowflakes heading into Hanukkah, especially during the afternoon and evening as the sun sets, a couple of flakes are possible. Again, it's not gonna stick, it's just going to add to the festive feel here into the evening hours, it'll still stay chilly. And then the weekend ahead, this is where it's going to be a potential problem. We have an area of low pressure, warm air ahead of it. So Saturday is actually going to be pretty nice. But on Sunday, there's going to be plenty of moisture and rain and the possibility of a couple of thunderstorm are out there. That's why I got that yellow highlight on the 10 day forecast. Those high temperatures well into the sixties, in fact, but it's not a day where you want to spend time outdoors as it stands now. Ok. Is it going to be an all day storm? We're expecting, we're still working out the details on that. Today's Tuesday. This is for Sunday, but the potential is there for the second half of the day, especially for significant rain. Ok. So we still have a lot to go. Keep it here with news 12 will be on top of it all.

Lincoln High School looks to surpass PSAL semifinals 

The beginning of a high school football season always brings with it fresh hope and new goals and news. 12 sports director Pat o'keefe visiting with one local team that's hoping to be the last one standing come this fall. Now, in his 23rd season as Lincoln's head coach, it still doesn't get old for Sean o'connor. This is the fun part, you know, building the team the off season. I enjoy the off season this time of the year more than the season sometimes because you can watch these guys come together, go through the rough times adversely how they respond to it. So this is the fun part. Lincoln is led by 6 ft three inch quarterback, Nasim de a physical specimen who has committed to division one, Bethune Cookman and shook off a shaky first three games his junior year as he clicked for him. They clicked for us and we ended up getting to the semi finals last year who would have thought the way we lost those first three games. We never thought we would make the final four a decade ago. Lincoln was the premier high school football program in New York City when it won three PS championships in a four year span. Now, since the pandemic, they've been knocking at the door trying to get back to that level and they feel that this year's team just might have enough experience to get them there. Now that we are all seniors, we have nothing to lose. So last year, you only be in a senior in high school once hit as hard as we can every day, work as hard as we can run as hard as we can. This preseason has given rail splitters something else to aspire to 2020. Lincoln grad, Izzy Anaconda works to earn a roster spot as a rookie running back with the Jets. It made me look down and be like, hey, if he could do it, I can like is he is, he is a big name for Lincoln. Like he made it out and he made it, he made it to the NFL. It's everybody's dream. So is winning a city championship in Coney Island. Pat o'keefe News 12.
