6:17 am
around high tide time. and then tomorrow the forecast gets a little bit better, mainly dry with some spotty showers, a little less windy tomorrow and a little bit warmer. so improvement through the second half of your weekend. but today we're still very much under the gun, especially along the coast. i think today is the day that the coast will really be the headline. wind gusts up to 50 mile per hour, rough surf, pounding the coast for days now. waves six to 10 feet high and what this does it only enhances coastal erosion. it's going to be another couple of days before those waves really start to settle down. we're also anticipating that moderate to major coastal flooding, the biggest impacts, of course, during high tide times. for most of us that ranges between noon and 4:00, the jersey shore closer to noon, along long island in the afternoon 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. so something to keep in mind as we go through the day, high tide will be dicey again along the shore. over the past 48 hours we've gotten rain. it's been causing a little bit of trouble, especially with
6:18 am
combination with those winds. but here's a look at where the totals stand right now, these are rough estimates. north and west of the city chose to half an impleg. as we look south of the city along the jersey shore, one to two inches, likely some isolated spots with higher totals. most of us getting about an inch of rain with more expected today. something to keep in mind, the umbrella will be handy. but i saw so many umbrellas destroyed yesterday as i made my way home, just left for dead on the side of the road. so an umbrella maybe not, break out the rain gear if you do have to head out today and just brace yourself from the winds. temperatures right now cool and they'll stay that way. 54 in belmar, 46 in white plains, the hamptons at 54. on the vortex satellite and radar picture, just a constant stream of rain lifting on through. yes, there will be some breaks today, but overall it's just going to be damp and soggy. you won't notice a big difference as you go through the day. stationary front off the coast, area of low pressure to our south, and, then, of course, joaquin is what's really kicking up the surf out there,
6:19 am
making for very ugly conditions. for us hour by hour this morning, showers on and off. that will be the trend throughout the day. the steadier rain really looks to stay inland. as we go through the overnight hours, some breaks. even some breaks in the clouds tomorrow morning. but as we go through your sunday, mostly cloudy skies and some spotty showers. we see it continue -- we see continuing improvement into monday. today 56 degrees your high, lighter rain than we've seen, but very strong winds out of the northeast 20 to 30 with gusts as high as 50 mile per hour. overnight tonight 52, showers, drizzle, staying windiment tomorrow, though, we start to see things settle on down. 63 degrees for your sunday, mostly cloudy with spotty showers and then we warm on up. monday 68, more breaks of sun tuesday, wednesday, looking lovely, even into thursday more clouds with a high of 69. next friday likely some more showers as well. andrea and diane, back to you. >> all right, vanessa, thanks so much. if the weather permits, the mets will play three games this month the with post-season
6:20 am
>> ear's otis livingston with your sports update >> maybe mother nature is not a baseball fan. both the yankees and mets had their games postponed because of rain. they'll be made up as doubleheaders later in the die. and the fight for homehold advantage is in serious jeopardy for the mets >> it's not whether a question they would make us play, it's whether we want to play. and, you know, we always want to complete the season, especially if there's anything riding on a full schedule as something may be here, but there really hasn't been any conversation with major league baseball about that. >> now to the nfl and the team that brought you the butt funnellable has given us another punch line. as the jets threw over 250 rolls of toilet paper for that one. there's big ben, parliament, buckingham palace and the eye. i'm sure the jets will do some sightseeing while in london, but make nothing about it, it is not a vacation, it is a

6:28 am
>> some very good news with regards to joaquin for us, but not for our neighbors to the south. for us today biggest impact is this front off the coast just sitting there. it'll be another wet, windy, soggy day. but we look down to joaquin now, still lashing out at the bahamas. this is a category 3 hurricane, was a category 4 and has sat over the bahamas now for way too long. they are getting petroleum emed. the track -- pummeled the. the track takes it more in a northeasterly direction. take a look at the conditions, pressure 940 milibars. wind 125 miles per hour. that is a strong category 3 hurricane. it is moving northeast at 13 miles per hour and an uptick in forward speed is anticipated through the day. we look at its track. still a cat 3 tomorrow morning early as it's approaching bermuda. watch the track. category 2 just to the west of bermuda with winds of 105 miles per hour. for bermuda right now they're
6:29 am
as this storm moves past them, they'll get hit hard. they're on what we call the wrong side of the storm. the right side is where we see the biggest storm surge, the biggest winds as well, so certainly not a good situation for bermuda. you can guarantee they're getting ready right now. as it continues its track to the north, it will turn more northeast, continuing to weaken. but i'll tell you what, when it's off our coast about 500 miles, it is still going to maintain hurricane status, as about a category 1. so something that we'll continue to feel the impacts of through the weekend with regards to rough surf and windy conditions. here's the deal. we do have a wind advisory in effect today along the jersey shore. expect very powerful winds along all of our coastline today, gusts up to 50 miles per hour possible, churning in out of the northeast and because of that water will be forced inland, especially during high tide. so we have coastal flood alerts in effect, coastal flood warnings along the jersey shore, portions of long island as well, for the east end you're only under a coastal

for today it's going to be soggy, damp, windy and cold. >> but not as bad as we were anticipating. >> oh, no. if we had had a direct hit, it would have been a totally different ball game. so certainly the conditions are much improved comparatively to what we were expecting if we would have gotten a direct hit from joaquin. let's show you outside. here we go. look at these conditions. it's not pretty, folks, but it's not going to be a direct hit and that we can breathe a sigh of relief for. 49 degrees, windy right now. we have northeast winds at 28 miles per hour, gusts are even stronger. so certainly something to keep in mind today along the coast. we expect the -- along the coast we expect the biggest impact. lighter rain today, the gusty winds will continue. moderate to major coastal flooding is what we expect today. mainly dry tomorrow, so some improvements through the second half of your weekend, but it will still be windy and we will still feel those coastal impacts. coastal erosion will be a huge problem as we progress through the weekend and even into the

early parts of next week as joaquin is still in the atlantic basin. those seas will be churned up, the waves will still be crashing onshore. so for today, as i mentioned, we do think the coast gets hit the hardest yet again. wind gusts up to 50 miles per hour, rough surf with waves six to 10 feet high. still moderate to major coastal flooding. so what you saw yesterday, what you saw this morning, expect it to be repeated again this afternoon, even overnight with the high tide cycles. so a quick look now at exactly when the next high tide cycles are. seaside heights shortly after the noon hour and 1:00 a.m. for jones inlet, 12:30, 1:00 a.m. as we look at sandy hook, close to 1:00 this afternoon, close to 1:30 over the morning hours. and then for the great south bay, it's closer to 3:00 this afternoon and then 3:30 tomorrow morning. still going to be flooding issues during these times and expect high tide tomorrow to be an issue as well. current temperatures out there,
6:41 am
it's 49 in the city, 50 for babylon, 54 in belmar, 43 in monticello. you look at these numbers, you you say, okay, well, it's morning, no big deal. but we are not going to warm up much at all today. highs will be in the 50s for points inland, but along the coast expect it to be more raw with feels-like temperatures in the 40s. as we look at the vortex satellite and radar picture right now, we still have plenty of rain out there. it's going to be drizzly and damp all day, light rain on and off. we have a big moisture feed coming in from joaquin which is still battering the bahamas. so you see all this moisture, it's just riding up along this front, and it all starts down in the tropics. so going to be soggy today yet again, but we don't expect those totals to climb today as they did yesterday. but downed trees still very much a possibility with those strong winds along the coast. as we look at your hour-by-hour forecast here, we're looking at showers on and off today, lots of mist and drizzle. by noon you see a little bit of a break in the steady stuff, but still scattered showers
6:42 am
across the region and that will be the trend through the afternoon. plenty of clouds, no sunshine today, but overnight, especially into early tomorrow we start to see some breaks in the clouds. for your sunday it will be a mostly cloudy day, still on the windy side with less rain and spotty showers, not a steady kind of damp kind of day. some relief tomorrow and along our coast tomorrow the winds will start to come down. as we get into monday, especially tuesday, wednesday and thursday, the forecast greatly improves. so for today, lighter rain, but still very damp, gusty winds, a high of only 56 mile per hour with those winds cranking in off the water, anticipate a very, very rough day along the coast. overnight it's 52 degrees, still some showers around, still damp, still cloudy, but tomorrow we start to see the breakout from this gloomy weather. it is 63 tomorrow, mostly cloudy, some spotty showers, still very breezy out there. monday 68, some breaks of sun. then by tuesday with a high of
6:43 am
70 it is partly sunny, and it is on tuesday that i really expect the surf to come down. so we'll start to see conditions improving along the coast, we keep lovely weather in the forecast through thursday, and then friday looks to be a little more cloudy again, maybe some more wet weather. >> the changes are unbelievable. outside on wednesday it was so hot. you had to take your jacket off, it was humid. i felt like summer againment and then today you're talking 40 degrees in some parts? >> yes. well, yesterday i was along the south shore of long island, it was 45 degrees, the winds were over 30 miles per hour which means wind chills were down into the 30s. when the temperature gets to be about 45 degrees, we can start talking wind chill. so there was certainly is a wind chill yesterday. expect similar conditions along the coast. >> it's too soon. >> glad you didn't blow away. thank you. >> vanessa, thanks so much. let's talk sports this morning. the mets face a doubleheader today after mother nature washed away their game last night. hope they get the games in today. >> ear's otis livingston with your wcbs wfan sports update.
6:44 am
the mother nature is not a baseball fan. both the yankees and mets had their games postponed yesterday. they'll be made up as doubleheaders later today. with rain in the forecast for the weekend, the fight for homefield advantage for the mets is in serious jeopardy. >> it's a question of whether they would make us play, it's a question of when we would want to play and i think, you know, we always want to complete the season, especially if there's anything riding on a full schedule as something may be here, but there really hasn't been any conversation with major league baseball about that. >> let's just get those games in. now to the nfl, the team that brought you the butt fumble has given us another punch line, the jets threw over 350 rolls of toilet paper for their trip to london. the coach said they weren't touching that one, as in no comment. there's big ben, parliament, buckingham palace. i'm sure they'll do sightseeing in london. but make no mistake, this is not a vacation, it's a business trip, especially after last week's loss to the eagles. >> it's going to be exciting, a big crowd on hand, should be a
6:45 am
lot of people. i don't know who's rooting for who yet, see how many jets fans and dolphins fans are, but it could be a good game. >> it could be an advantage because we're not playing at playing away either. >> a little bit of adversity for both teams in not having, you know, the comfort of a normal home or road game, but i think we've got a really good team. >> they root for the jets hopefully because they like us. >> and here's your invitation to get up a little earlier on sunday morning, 9:30, in fact, right here on cbs 2, jets, dolphins from london. you bring the fish, i'll bring the chips. meanwhile, good news regarding victor cruz. according to an mri, his latest setback didn't cause any further damage to his calf. no timetable for his return, but he says he plans to play this season and hopefully soon. >> hopefully it's the last setbackment i'm going to continue to work hard, i'm going to continue to be the same person i am in regards to my work ethic and the strength
6:46 am
it takes to get back and to physically get in that rehab room and do the work you need to do in order to succeed and get back on the field. >> for cbs 2 news, i'm otis livingston. have a great day. well, brooklyn is quickly becoming the go-to place to try craft food and beverages. cheers new york is the place to it's indoors. to try the best of the best when it comes to beer, wine and food, our state has to offer, and here to talk about it, carlos, president and ceo of commerce. >> good morning. it's great to be here >> so this is -- we were just saying before, this is a great event on this really bad weather weekend. tell us a little bit about cheers new york. >> yes. this is the first time that governor cuomo and the state of new york and empire development have come together with the brooklyn chamber to showcase made-in-new york products >> we love made in new york. >> we love made in new york. we, of course, love at the
