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.

Saint John's basketball looks to make NCAA tournament for first time since 2019

you said it, Amanda, now I'm hungry. All right. A big basketball weekend ahead as one local team looks to put itself in position to do something. It hasn't done in a very long time and trouble. Sports director Pat O'keefe, has those details. A program comprised largely of new york city basketball talent. ST john's university has not reached the N. C. A. A. Tournament since 2019 and hasn't won an N. C. A. A. Tournament game since 2000. Now the hope was that would change this year. But the Red Storm got off to an extremely slow starting conference play, losing five of their first six. However, over their last three they have played much better, including sunday's win at Yukon knocking off the sixth ranked team in the country on friday night. They host their first game of the season at Madison Square Garden against Villanova. Still with a chance in the wide open. Big East that hurt us a little bit but we watched film so we were doing and we're just trying to keep building, man. I mean the Big East is a like I said, it's a very, very tough conference. I mean it's very wide open. Now every team is gonna give you a fight. I still don't think we're at where we're gonna be when it's all said and done. I mean it's late middle january, almost late january. I mean we're still building and trending I think in the right direction. The Earl Monroe, New renaissance basketball school in the Bronx is the first specialized public high school with an academic curriculum entirely. Did designed around basketball. The school, named after a knicks legend, has forged a partnership with the knicks. This week, around 100 students, faculty and family members were hosted by the team and Chase at a knicks game, culminating with a $100,000 donation to the curriculum of the Bronx school. I'm Pat O'keefe News 12.
