BXFORECAST

On Sunday night, we're checking in with Alan because we are on storm watch. So, what's this 5050 weekend we got going on because Saturday is all right. Yeah, Saturday is going to be actually picture perfect. You want to enjoy Saturday? That's the outdoor day because it's going to be absolutely beautiful. It's also going to be milder. We're going to see middle fifties. Lots of sunshine go out and enjoy it because we don't get these kinds of days in December, albeit an entire winter pretty often then heading into Sunday. That's when things change big time, the temperatures. I mean, that's the only good part about this is that we will be in the middle sixties actually, but it's going to be quite the stormy finish and we're looking out for the potential of a few even squall lines. Yes, some thunderstorms are looking likely. So let's take a look at when to expect the rain. It's going to be moving in Sunday, especially late morning and early afternoon. Look at how Saturday is pretty much dry day and night may be an isolated shower. But aside from that, it's really going to be into the daytime on Sunday. Right. Lunchtime, we're going to see that rain into Sunday night. That rain will be heavy at times. It will be a windswept rain, continuing into the Monday morning commute and wrapping up around lunchtime. So that by the time we get to Monday evening, things are fine. Let's take a look at the future cast, which is going to pretty much everything is nice and clear all the way through Saturday. Just a few passing clouds here and there. Heading into Sunday though, it'll start off cloudy. This is at 7 a.m. No, no matter where you are across the, you're fine early on into the afternoon, we're going to see all the rain showers moving in. This is at 1230. That's pretty much, yeah, that's it for outdoor activities, those sports games, if you can fit them in earlier or better yet on Saturday, that would be the best time because you could see already some steadier rain moving into Riverdale and then heading into the three o'clock hour across Park Chester City Island and sound view. Some moderate rain is expected. We'll see it on and off. It's not expected to be heavy until we get to about midnight when that squall could potentially move on through. And on top of that wind gust could be approaching 50 MPH, especially for our coastal community. So looking at that 10 day forecast again, it's for that second half of Sunday, first half of Monday that I'm really worried about some potential wind damage, those holiday decorations, either secure them or bring them all in. I mean, at least like half the weekend salvaged you could do a little, even a little bit more than half. Yeah, about two thirds. All right, Alan, thank you. Well, community health workers want to teach you how.

MTA holds first hybrid public hearings on fare, toll increases

MTAHearingsUpd_2023-06-22-19-40-43

Kick off a series of public hearings today for commuters to give your opinions on proposed price increases. News 12 shocky Dennis went to the first hearing at the Mta's headquarters. She joins us now with more on how riders feel about these changes. I oppose the proposed fare increase. One after another dozens of MTA writers advocates and some elected officials share their thoughts on the Mta's proposed increases to its fares and tolls. A big portion of my budget just goes into getting the metro card and just getting to school for the first time since the pandemic. The MTA is proposing a number of changes to its current pricing structure. Some include increasing the base fare for subways and local buses by 15 cents and 25 cents for express buses. They're also proposing a 4.5% price hike for Long Island Railroad and Metro North fares. The MTA is even considering two options that would increase tolls for bridges and tunnels either by six or 7% more frequent smaller toll adjustments. Overt radical fare increases. The agency says the proposed changes would not impact reduced fares for students, senior citizens and disabled people but many writers who spoke today say that any increase is too much, even though it's like a couple of cents, it adds up. Everything goes up far to go up. And it's tough for our everyday budget to maintain. Many of them joined the group writers alliance before the hearing to urge the mayor to expand the fair fares program, which gives a 50% discount to low income New Yorkers and no one should have to choose between eating and being able to navigate our city. Again. There are four public hearings scheduled between today and Monday. Then the MTA board is set to vote on the changes in July and the approved price increases will go into effect by Labor Day in lower Manhattan. I'm Shakti Dennis.
