BXFORECAST

Welcome back. We're checking back in with storm watch team, meteorologist, Alex Calamia, Alex. You were actually saying today is going to be a little warmer than the last few days. Yeah, it is 56. We love to see that and we've got the sunshine too at least, are we this morning? But the clouds will thicken a bit. So let's talk about that. Um We definitely are expecting fifties, which is beautiful all afternoon. But then we've got to talk about the elephant in the room which is Sunday in the morning. This time tomorrow we have drizzle, very light winds. Not a big problem. As far as that goes early in the morning, steady rain though develops throughout the later half of the afternoon. Dinner time could be a wash and the evening will also come with really gusty wind that could reach 40 MPH. So, so let's just take a screenshot of this. Just enjoy your Saturday. Enjoy even Sunday morning. We don't have any huge problems. Highs should reach Loga mid F because of that south breeze. Places like Marine Park, Coney Island rockaways. You're all looking a little bit cooler than just a little inland Bushwick in the mid fifties tonight for a little bit of fog. It looks good though. We're dry for dinner time and we're dry even very early Sunday morning. But around this time tomorrow, we will see a few quick little spritzes and that will continue until lunch. So the first half of Sunday is not a total washout, but you should have the umbrella all day. Sunday. The wind is going to pick up and temperatures actually continue to climb after the sun sets. We probably don't hit 60 until 67 o'clock at night, which is just ridiculous. And obviously that does come with some problems because all of that air is literally fueling these storms. Now, we're not necessarily listening to thunder with this, but it will be lots of heavy rain, gusty wind through, I would say about dinner all the way to bedtime and even after midnight, look at some of this wind gust at midnight, we're near 30 to 40 mile per hour. Gusts right along the Atlantic communities there. So she bay could see 40 mile per hour gusts JFK. If you know anybody coming in from a flight that's going to be a problem Sunday evening, Monday morning commute. It is breezy but it is dry so no problems for a Monday morning commute. Latest model guidance showing possibly 2 to 3 inches of rain. I do think some of that's a little over exaggerated. Another model showing still two inches of rain. So definitely rain is the name of the game. We're going to have plenty of it and unfortunately that could cause some localized flooding. It is dry though for the whole work week. Alright.

Yankees host annual Hope Week celebration, Colon weighs in on Rodgers impact on Jets

Annual Hope Week. The Yankees honored a baseball pioneer already always so many fun activities for this week. And news sports director Pat has that story and more. The Yankees continuing their annual Hope Week by honoring a watershed event in major league baseball history that occurred 76 years ago. Today. It was then that Larry Doby broke the American League's color barrier when he played his first game with Cleveland to commemorate the anniversary members of the Yankees organization, including former all stars, Glaber Torres Nester Cortez and Jose Trevino visited Heli Stadium in Doby, hometown of Paterson, new to honor Joy's legacy and also host a baseball clinic for dozens of young players. It's really important to me and obviously with these kids here trying to grow the community and attract younger athletes and younger stars to come in here and be active. Two weeks from Saturday, the Jets will report for one of the most highly anticipated training camps in franchise history and that can all be traced to the presence of future Hall of Famer and four time MVP Aaron Rodgers, that quarterback, yes, he's 39 years old and yes, his play dipped. A little bit last season in Green Bay, but he won the MVP the previous two years and he fills a position that the Jets have been trying to competently fill for decades. Bronx native and former Jets offensive lineman Willy Cologne told news 12, how much better he thinks Rodgers makes the Jets. This is not even close, 75% of the offense goes to the quarterback. And when you have a hall of fame quarterback like him and how he processes the game and how he does. Well, he's able to do what he does on the football field. I mean, he, he lifts the level of expectation and so they have a young group, they're very talented, um but they need leadership and he's gonna bring that to the locker room and Jets training camp opens on July 22nd. I'm Pat o'keefe News. 12.
