Hey, Phil. Yep. It's gonna get stormy. It's gonna be wet and windy and a wild second half of the weekend. That's for sure. If you're headed to the Jets game, it looks good to start. And then about a half time, things will get pretty nasty. And on your way home, give yourself extra time, that's for sure. As for tonight, temperatures throughout the air feeling mild. We're in the mid forties, it's quiet, some patchy fog around mostly cloudy. Nothing going on for the overnight hours tonight or into your Sunday morning. We're looking good. However, those winds will start to pick up in the morning hours and they'll only increase. Let's move ahead on the futurecast here. We have some scattered showers developing with a little bit of heavier pockets throughout the area developing late morning and then more steady rain comes in the afternoon around 230 here and the winds pick up again. These are wind gusts 33 MPH park slope 26 and throgs neck 26 MPH and then that will increase as we step into the overnight hours, we'll have more moderate and heavier pockets of rainfall. Moving through. So we do have a flood watch throughout areas below us. And as we start to wrap things up for your Monday morning, the winds do stick around so the rain will clear out, the winds will stick around and they're gonna bring in cooler temperatures for your Monday. So Monday will be quite blustery. If you're headed to the Giants game Monday night, it's gonna be chilly. You definitely want to bundle up and then we're looking at temperatures in the forties for the rest of the work week and we're not looking at any rainfall after that.

Two-time Olympian now teaching fencing in Flatbush

6.22sports

a two time Olympian and world champion fencer these days, you can find a Zynga Prescott somewhere like this. The Flatbush YMCA right near where she grew up teaching the sport to the next generation. Whenever I wrote papers for school was always like fencing had this impact on my life, I learned this lesson and fencing and so I always wanted to give that opportunity to kids from where I grew up because it was life changing for me. And so the press guide institute for sport, team work and education or pieced was born starting with the recreational fencing in the park, which is heading into its third summer. This school year, Prescott added a more intensive academy program featuring group and individual lessons tutoring and more four days a week, fencing opens a lot of doors and you're exposed to new types of people who have different expectations for their lives. But press God was only able to see those doors because she could travel into Manhattan for lessons with peace. She's hoping to bring them directly to the neighborhood where she grew up and at no cost. I honestly feel like it's something they're entitled to like a lot of other kids have this privilege. And so I wanted to give them that privilege. Have you thought about what your future and fencing might be? I definitely want to get a scholarship. Um, so I can go to college while the academy ends this week fencing in the park. It started for the summer in july any kids in Brooklyn, but especially ones in Flatbush are invited to come out, we have all that information, as well as ways that you can become a donor over on our website, News 12 dot com.
