[ laughter ] >> i sensed they were both not paying one bit of attention to me. >> i'll watch it again later. [ laughter ] so we have kind of a rocky hand-off between march and april here. they're not getting along very well. outside we go, we have what is -- he'll be listening to me. outside we go with high clouds over the harbor and sunshine. high clouds, the leading edge of some of the milder air that's going to come in. you're saying what are you talking mild? it feels cool out right now. it does because we have a wind off the ocean.

warm in to the upper 60s if not 70. the next several hours generally in the upper 40s and holding steady. there will be clouds that work in tonight. it's a little breezy early on. the wind is picking up at sunrise. wind gusts could be over 35, 40 miles per hour tomorrow. this time it's a warmer wind. i don't think we're talking damaging winds although i wouldn't be shocked to see a wind advisory across the area. sun will mix with clouds, filtered sky. more clouds later in the day. high should be in the upper 60s, obviously cooler along south facing shores. watch this futurecast and we'll take you right in to the rain on friday. as we go through tomorrow morning, upper 40s, low 50s as the launching pad. not bad for the final day of march. clouds in and out. at times it could look overcast. with the warm breezes i think 70 should be a lock away from the coast. near 70 in the city. closer to upper 50s and lower 60s on south facing shores. you'll need the umbrella after 8:00 or 9:00 tomorrow night. you won't during the daylight hours. they're widely scattered

probably a little more widespread after midnight. in to your morning commute there could be a downpour off to the north and west and later in the commute, maybe even some more widespread downpours or a rumble of thunder. an early departure on friday. you're better off to beat some of the heavier showers. they'll leave the scene by late morning, allowing clouds to thin, and lower if not middle 70s in reach if we can get some brightening. that can spark a late day shower or thunderstorm on friday. book end showers on friday. air quality is good tomorrow. uv index at a 5. pollen count moderate to high. looking at the 7-day, very mild temperatures the next couple days. friday is a little bumpy but the middle of the day could actually have a little sun. saturday is about 60. this front may stall offshore leaving us with at least extra cloud cover but you might need the umbrella at times saturday as well. sunday it's all about a big drop in temperature. 45 feels like 30s. gusty winds. and in the morning, there might be a rain or snow shower. here's the deal with monday. and opening day, yankee stadium. i've tweaked this forecast a little bit.

bit in to the mid 40s. a little bit more cloud cover and the slightest threat of a most. showers. remaining cool in to midweek next week before we warm things back up again. so definitely a little arctic air coming in for the beginning of april. >> can you say that word this time of year? >> it happens a lot, especially when you go through such an easy winter. you get the last gasps colder than warmer. >> nice to see golf weather in the not too distant future. >> it's always golf weather. >> i wasn't listening.

of phonies floating around and say even banks can be fooled by these counterfeiting criminals. >> they get away with this? >> they do. all this money is received as being passed. >> reporter: to avoid accepting a fake, first feel it. fake money is thicker and the print is raised higher. next, take a good look. look for color shifting ink on an authentic bill. the liberty bell changes color. on the bogus bill, it stays brown. >> here, it shifts. from a bell to a hundred. >> i didn't know that. >> reporter: and learn to spot the obvious, what do you think is wrong with this $50? >> if you can tell me what the difference is in these two notes. >> reporter: it's really a 10. president hamilton is on $10. president hamilton is on the $10 bill. really 50s -- president hamilton is on the $10. >> before you leave, make sure

>> astoria bank said they could not refund the $100 because since she left and came back, they can't verify if it's the one she got from the bank. always ask for the money to be run through the counterfeit detector before you go. the last story the bank refunded, but that's a rare case. the secret service will pull surveillance video and find out exactly what happened. >> bottom line, the onus is on you. you've got to protect yourself. a florida man has filed a paternity suit, claiming william shatner is his dad. peter sloan is seeking $170 million from the star trek star. he says he discovered the connection after tracking down his birth mother in canada. sloan claims shatner admitted he could be his father when he confronted him 30 years ago but shatner denied the whole thing in a radio interview. sloan said he filed the suit just to get the actor to take a dna test. a parking attendant tries something new and hits the
