The Cortland Manor Community Center. All right, when you could go outside and make any donations that you want. Let's go right to meteorologist, Alex Calamia to tell you the best times. Hey, Alex. Hey, Jen. Anytime today looks good. We're really pretty pleasant. Your highs today reach mid ff tomorrow. Upper fifties, definitely temperature is not the problem, but the rain is, we have showers in the morning, nothing huge there, but then a soaking in the afternoon. Here's the timing here. So obviously very quiet. Look at this forties, mid forties, even a few upper forties at seven o'clock. So you wear a jacket, you're good to go. You could leave the heavy jacket, you could leave the gloves at home. It's not gonna be the that kind of chill and the wind is very calm. That could actually bring some fog back into the picture overnight. But aside from that, you are problem free in the weather department for your Saturday evening, Sunday morning. Different story. It's mainly quiet early. But once we hit lunchtime, 287 southward gets in on some soaking rain and the wind isn't a problem at first. But by four o'clock keep in mind it's a sunset time. Now we're talking some really solid heavy rain. 56 o'clock, really solid heavy rain. Eight o'clock still raining. It looks like this is gonna set up over Westchester County right now. But Putnam Rockland, even Dutchess and Orange County are getting in on a pretty decent swath. Your risk is lower in Ulster County, but everybody gets in on at least some really solid heavy rain. Sunday in the evening and early overnight, there are gonna be a few snow flakes Monday morning, most of that north and west of Westchester County, but everybody will have to keep an eye out for the wind on Monday, although the rain won't be a problem. So your flash flood risk as of now for Sunday is slight. So we have a slight risk as a level two out of four risk for flooding two inches possible across a good chunk of the Hudson Valley where you're seeing the red that's locally three. So this is one model and then this next, it's called the her high resolution rapid refresh. This is a high resolution model showing you about two inches of rain for Westchester County, a lower resolution very reliable model, two inches of rain. So we're looking at lots of consistency here, but we're seeing 2 to 3 inches of rain in the lower Hudson Valley. Good news is rest of the work week, no problems.

And continuing our coverage right now as Yonkers police start an internal investigation after an officer accidentally fires his gun inside of his cruiser. But it's what happened before that, that really has people in the city concerned. Tonight news Twelve's Veronica Jane Seltzer takes us to where this happened on Central Park Avenue V J. What were police initially responding to? They were responding to a report of a teen with a knife not far from Roosevelt High School kind of between the T D bank and will library. That's what has people thinking about kids and weapons. Oh, I don't even know what to say. A 15 year old with a knife. A lot of people I'm talking to say they feel like they're hearing more about kids with guns and knives and it's scary, there are all sorts of thoughts as to why everything is so convenient nowadays for kids. So it's not really surprising a soon to be Bronxville high grad says he thinks maybe some kids don't feel safe at school or in their neighborhoods need a safe environment to, to learn parents just need to be more aware of what the kids are doing and what they're getting into the teens in custody. But people were also surprised to hear about what happened as police responded, an officer accidentally fired a gun inside his police cruiser. It just happens. We can understand that it's an accident. Still. People I talked to said it could have been a lot worse and they hope everyone will remember to be safer. But they say they are just thankful everyone is ok reporting in Yonkers, Veronica Selzer News.
