weather, and -- said by the weatherman, and we have to embrace it and like it. here are the headlines, and it's dry for now, and we are expecting a soak ore -- soaker of a day, and we have several days this week where we are expecting the wet weather, and highs today, 60 to 65 degrees for central park with the hot spot at 65 on the nose. 65degrees, and that puts us 1 degree below where we should be today. temperatures close it blackhawksen very dry since march 1st, and we have had just under 3 inches of rain, and normally under 9 inches of rain. there's a 6-inch deficit so far for spring. we need the rain, and we will get some rain over the next 7 days. here's the vortex satellite and radar. the clouds are creeping in, and the rain is not too far behind. a wider look, and this shows the system. the first disturbance, and this one is is a warm front, and it will not be very warm when it

and this area of high pressure that has been keeping things nice and dry that will slide offshore. we start at 6:00 tomorrow morning, and although it does not look like the rain is here, i think you should count on the rain actually being here at 6:00 or 7:00 in the morning, and getting heavier as the morning moves on. into the afternoon, more widespread rain with pockets of moderate or heavy rain, and we will get a break into monday. sort of more like a drizzle, and then look what happens. we head into monday, and mid- morning, and then we are looking at rain. how much rain? anywhere from just shy of an inch to possibly 2 inches of rain by monday night. remember, we need it 6-inch deficit. keep that in mind. pull out your rain gear and keep it handy over the next week. cloudy, chilly, late sprinkles, and tomorrow, it's cool, cloudy and rainy. cool day tomorrow, and it never really warms up, and back into the 60s for monday, and showers and thunderstorms are likely.

first time since 2007. the start that michael conforto has had has mets fans positively giddy in his first 77 games, he has more doubles, home runs, and rbi than the first 77 games of both bryce harper and mike trout. the mets brought in mike walker, and this guy is one homer away to start the season this is not the hardest hit ball, but walker drives in 2, and the mets have now scored in the 1st run inning in 14 of the last 16 games, and back to conforto who was in single a at this time last year, and now he's anchoring the lineup that is first in home runs, slugging, extra base hits, all in the last 15 games, it's 5-3 in the 5th. wilmer flores will always be a fan favorite, but that batting average will not cut it. how about this? the mets go into may with the

series, and no question, we have to be better at slowing them down. >> the doctor nfl draft is complete, and for the first time ever, the giants didn't draft an offensive or defensive lineman. and remember we introduced you to odell beckham jr.'s cousin? he's been invited to camp with the jets. he will get a shot. the major leaguers don't have to deal with this. breath philips had to chase a possum off the field, but he got too close at one point. >> oh! >> what is the noise he made? >> i don't know. that's what a possum says! >> oh, okay. >> that's how they squeak. he tweeted afterwards any possum in this country who tries to come on my field you best believe you will be taken care of. >> that's tough. >> tough talk against the possum. >> i love the update. >> to ron becker, right? >> yes. >> great guy, and he's going to get his shot.
