Welcome back when you hear that sound, you know what that means. We're on storm watch with storm watch team, meteorologist Christy Campana. So Christy, we know the rain is coming, but that's not all right. Yeah. No, we can't rule out any gusty winds either. And those two combined really create for a messy kind of system that's headed our way. And like we said, 2 to 4 inches of rain is expected and that majority is gonna be overnight tonight and that can create some problems for your morning commute if there is localized flooding, which like we said, we can't rule out, but let's go straight to it and see, you know, an hour by hour where the system is coming in and this is two o'clock today. So we see the system just approaching here for the afternoon and we could see some batches of heavy downpours throughout the afternoon. But the majority of this is going to be a little bit later. This is 3 p.m. We see this light to moderate rain, these yellow colors really on the outskirts of the city and then maybe a break here and there by around five o'clock your dinner time. But then the majority of this hits around 8 to 10 o'clock and we see this orange, yellow and red and this is our more moderate, steady and even heavy rain that is headed our way and that's to continue overnight for your overnight hours. And that majority of it just past 1 a.m. two AM, we see it start to get slightly lighter around then and then by 6 a.m. we see it really start to push off and push out to the ocean and it clears up just a bit. We can't rule out a lingering shower until around seven or 8 a.m. And then it clears up really by mid to late morning and we could see even the sun come back out around your mid to mid morning to afternoon before the sunset, which is a good thing, but that flooding can still stick around and that comes with these gusty winds. So sustained winds of around 15 to 20 miles an hour and this is 8, 30 twenties we're seeing and then uh change in direction. This becomes a north wind as it's passing and we could see up to 3040 miles an hour. So really take anything in outdoors and just be cautious through the next couple of days. And let's take a look at 10 day forecast. We are in storm watch overnight. We're gonna see heavy rain, gusty winds and that breezy and those gusty winds continue a bit into your Tuesday. It's gonna be breezy but the sun is out and temperatures are back to seasonable for the rest of the week.

But during all of that fun was also a more sentimental tribute, a street renaming for south Bronx icon news 12 Julio Avila was there and shows us we'll take a look behind me, you can see everyone here having a great time, you can even hear the music that's playing in the background. All of this is for the more houses community family day that brings out not only those who live in the more houses but also the surrounding. Many got to enjoy some of the activities, the music and even the food and organizers saying this event is to help get residents out of their homes and to meet one another. But also here was the family of lou Torres, the south Bronx actor who started movies and shows like Spiderman and Law and Order. He passed away back in 2017 and we're told that he inspired a group of actors as well as singers, including the Bronx's very own fat joe. We were also told that fat joe was actually one of his students as well. Now a portion of the street was getting renamed after Torres and his surviving family gathered around to help keep his memory alive. The biggest thing that we could pull from my father was, he had a big heart, he helped everybody, he put people on, he saved people. So he put his heart out, very inspirational to the whole community of the south Bronx spent a lot of time um doing a lot of community work and selling and teaching us all self determination. Now. We were told that Fat Joe was scheduled to be at this event. Unfortunately, though he was not able to make this street renaming. As for the organizers of this event, they tell us their next event is going to be a school supply giveaway on September 17 in Mott Haven Julio Avila News 12.
