Sprain Ridge Pool in Yonkers is now open after undergoing major repairs.

The pool was reopened in 2017 after being closed for several years so renovations could be done. Westchester County Executive George Latimer says the job by the Rob Astorino administration was rushed, forcing him to shut it down last year to make necessary repairs. He says the pool is now up to standards and is safe to be used again.

The complex has three different areas, and the activity pool and "spray deck" are what reopened Friday. The competition pool is set to reopen later this summer.

Kids going in the pool Friday said they don't care why it was closed in the past, they are just ready to cool off.

Well, the weekend I could smell it already Addison. But so is the storm that's brewing right on the horizon? What are we looking at in terms of those weekend plans? Is it gonna be a washout? Thankfully not Nikita, I think uh weekend plans should go on. No problems whatsoever for Saturday, Sunday. Not so much, right? Not so much. Let me just go ahead and step aside. You can see what I'm talking about because Sunday right here is something to stand out as a day that we have to be maybe staying inside versus going out and about especially for the evening hours, 100% chance right there for seeing rain Saturday though dry, I think even Saturday night as well. First part of Sunday before noon, I think dry as well. Then after that all bets are off for you trying to stay dry and be outside because here is what you can be expecting for Sunday to Monday. A storm system moving on this way, giving us batches of moder to heavy rain at times, gusts could go 30 to 50 plus MPH. So there may be some isolated flood concerns depending upon where you are in the Hudson Valley area. Those usual lowly air, they get a little bit of some rain can sometimes see some flooding. Yeah, you know those spots. So moving towards your Futurecast 930 in the morning on Sunday, since Saturday will be gorgeous. Let's go towards Sunday. We start the day off with partly to mostly cloudy skies. There's a system in question coming on in from the west going towards lunchtime, still looking pretty good. Just have rain showers just on our doorstep afterwards though, towards 2 to 4 o'clock, here comes the rain light to moderate at first, just more scattered showers than anything else. But see these yellow lines, those are called Isobars lines of equal pressure. The more of them we have and we're closely tight to get tacked together, shows us a strong windfield. We're gonna be seeing wind gusts coming out of a south westerly direction around 20 to 30 MPH sustained gusts going higher than that toss in some moderate to heavy downpours and may get some brief gusts of 40 to 50 plus MPH that time frame right there towards three o'clock in the morning or so. Our system starts to pull away from us after Monday morning's commute, but we can still nonetheless deal with some gusts going on in towards o'clock. You see 3040 plus MPH, even maybe some spots close to 50 as you look out there for that rainfall potential. It's gonna be adding on up, maybe about 1 to 2 injuries or so. But we're gonna be seeing on storm system that's all the way on the west coast head over this way over time. But for the time being, it's just cold out there, we have to deal with temperatures running a little bit below average for the rest of the night. Tomorrow starts improving and then we see temperatures in the fifties and rising after that with the rain chances as well.
