Let's bring Julian back. I love that. You said the rain is going away. What's it gonna look like the rest of the week? Well, exactly. We're looking at much more drier conditions as we start off the work week and taking a look at just where the rain is. As of right now, as I mentioned, it's gonna be pretty much out of here for the city. Might have a couple of drizzles, but we're not looking at much shower activity as we get into the rest of our Sunday nights and heading into our Monday morning, cloudy, foggy. But overall, again, staying on the dry side as we get into the rest of tonight and the good news is, it wasn't a wash out across the city, less than a half of an inch of rain has fallen throughout the Bronx and throughout much of New York City, which is good news. So it wasn't a whole lot of a wash out for us throughout much of our Sunday. But again, we are gonna be monitoring the visibility to be a bit of an issue as we get into the rest of tonight. So, if you have to be traveling later into our Sunday night into our early Monday morning. We are looking for some fog to take place which would be bringing our visibility to around four miles or on a lower end as we get into the overnight. But once we start our Monday, we are looking for that to improve for us as guys will begin to clear as well by sunrise. So overnight, we are looking for some areas of fog, it's gonna be dry especially after 10 p.m. And then we're looking for the clouds to start to clear up as well. Heading in from midnight into our Monday morning, temperatures are gonna be steady into the fifties and then into the upper forties starting off for our Monday, but we're climbing back into the low fifties as we start things out for us. So next week, here's a look at our headlines. It's gonna be breezy but mild on Monday with forties returning by the time we get to Tuesday and fifties will rebound as we get into next weekend. Again, temperatures will be about the middle forties briefly overnight fifties for Monday, but cooling down for Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. So expect a little bit of chill in our air, but we're gonna see those clouds clearing up for us to start off for our Monday. But around lunch time, the cloud cover will build back for us and stick around until we get into the later parts of our Monday night, quick look at our 10 day forecast. Temperatures will be in the forties for the next couple of days being on the chillier side for Hanukkah. But then we're rebounding just in time for the weekend.

Muhammad Ali's grandson set to fight at MSG

He is the grandson of one of the most famous athletes in history and is preparing to fight in one of the most famous venues in the world. And sports director Pat o'keefe has his story. There is something immediately noticeable about the name Biagio Ali Walsh. It is the second name Ali, same as the most famous man to ever step foot into a ring. Muhammad Ali growing up, people would kind of find out who we were and they try to challenge us to like box and stuff like that. And me and my brother would just get the gloves and challenge them. Take the challenge. Ali Walsh grew up a football player, once his division one college career ended, he gravitated toward fighting, but it was mixed martial arts and not boxing. I feel like I get a sense of freedom with M Ma because it's not just punching, you know, you can kick, you can knee, you could do spinning kicks there, grappling and wrestling. And there's so much stuff involved in a since November, Ali Walsh has been competing on the professional Fight League circuit and will be part of the PFL card at the theater at Madison Square Garden on August 18th and 23rd, Muhammad Ali fought at the Garden eight times during his pro career, including the fight of the century in 1971 against Joe Frazier. I believe that his spirit will be there with me. He's fought there. A lot of other great fighters have fought there. Performers have performed there. It's a very historical place. So that's going to be at the back of my mind. So what would his grandfather synonymous with the sport of boxing? Think about Biagio, choosing another discipline of fighting? I think he'd be very supportive of it. He was supportive of my brother. When my brother had his first amateur fight he lost and I remember my brother was holding his hand and he asked him, uh, should I continue boxing? Squeeze if I should? And uh he, he squeezed a wonderful memory of the greatest from someone who knew him best. Pat o'keefe News. 12. It All in the family. Indeed. Pat. Thank you.
