Welcome back. We're checking back in with storm watch team, meteorologist, Alex Calamia, Alex. You were actually saying today is gonna 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 early 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. Uh 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 fifties 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, forties, 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 gusts at midnight. We're near 30 to 40 mile per hour. Gusts right along the Atlantic communities there. So Sheeps head bay could see 40 mile per hour gusts JFK. If you know anybody coming in from a flight, that's gonna 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 gonna have plenty of it. And unfortunately, that could cause some localized flooding. It is dry though for the whole work week.

Mayor Adams announces new DNA Gun Crimes Unit to quicken evidence testing

mayorac630noon

well, some good news now in the city's fight for gun violence here. Our fight against gun violence. The mayor just announced that there will be a new D. N. A gun crimes unit and that would be just dedicated to testing and analyzing evidence from gun crimes throughout the five boroughs. And they're saying that this would this would Cut the days, the days of testing down from 60 to 30 days. So that's about half the time. Take a listen to what the mayor had to say. We are damning every river that needs to be damned. And the lack of having the right technology was a river that was allowing guns to flow into the sea of violence. Today, we are damming that river and making sure that we have the flow of technology to get dangerous people off our streets. So the mayor says that they'll be hiring 24 criminalists as forensic scientists. He says that there's already 10 scientists that are, that have been hired, but they are looking for 14 more but really quick here. I just want to take a look at the crime stats here in our city right now in our borough, the Bronx shooting incidents are down eight point sorry, 8.2% and shooting victims are down 8.5%. So I hope that the goal here would be just to get those gun crimes down with this new unit
