on contact.it's a snowstorm trying to make the comeback but it did not have enough going on with it. there is an area of low pressure driving it to the northern french. we are getting the light precept. at least our temperatures are cold enough to support the snow. future casters giving us little nothing. snow . we do see the light snow showers going on but when it hits the ground, it goes away so it's almost like it's raining outside. you can see the snowflakes but as soon as you see it it melts.

morning commute we have snowflakes coming in until then. we have another chance of snow showers trying to come through the area as we head into sunday morning and it looks even weaker than what we have .the snow day is not happening! we will see some clearing in the afternoon and high temperatures up to 380. we get to 41 for a hike tomorrow and there is the snow chance on sunday. it's not a big deal. look at the high next week into the 50s and 60s! we will have to wait and see what goes on with the showers but it does look like it's going to be warmer.by the way, fox 5 ny weather app is at the apple itunes store. download that for free and get your daily and hourly forecast. we are ready to rock 'n roll . let's bring ines to see what we have as we hit the road . ines: checking in on westchester, things are fine as you make your way into rockland county.

middlesex county looks good on the turnpike. let's go to the cameras. have a look at the commute on staten island expressway and victory boulevard. looks good heading towards the bridge eastbound. westbound. there's construction leaving to lanes open on that's about a 10 15 minute wait . it's a better option with good on the 495. ben, back to you. >> he and his family will stay in washington. he finishes his second term. i've seen this coming for a while.his daughter will finish high school without having to transfer. it's how long he plans to remain in washington. week after he graduates, we will be out there. >> you have two years left

has to say about this. mayor diblasio talked about the face slashing that we have had lately and he says it's probably a result of nypd gun seizures. he turned into a positive somehow. >> i could just imagine. i am that diet that diner that are hundred and 20 stitches from the crazy who walked in and slashed him across the face. if the minis of dozens of others that were stabbed and slashed and now they say it's a good thing i wasn't shot! this guy is so hopefully disconnected. he must've been smoking one of those fatty . how ridiculous ? look at the put a spin on this. i was in the subway all night. they said they would flood

did not see one cop down there. not even texting or busting doughnuts. >> this talk about the debate. candidates did everything except stopping short of putting it on the table. juliet: putting what on the table? juliet: that would have been entertaining. it's hardly presidential! mike: curtis: my hands-on indication as size, are they?

rubio . shorty short. that was ted cruz and trump university. the donald does not handle it well. >> trump is a real problem for him. it was basically a big scam. he was being sued by the attorney general and several states.here is was relentless. he could not squeeze out of it. rubio started it and ted cruz was on him and megyn kelly demolished him. >> the problem he faces is he made business millions and hundreds of millions of dollars over his name loaned on these various enterprise.maybe it's buildings in florida or new mexico or in places where they don't come through. trump university is another example. >> .

often made them go away. >> bill clinton regretted not paying college owns off. if he had paid college owns off we would've never found out about monica lewinsky. initiative paid them off and they would've gone away.remember, the non-discussion would've been signed at that moment. you can't discuss it because i'm giving you quite a bit of money. that, he will regret . first they had romney attacking trump and then all of a sudden the debate last night puts trumps negatives into the forefront. juliet: it really did. watching the reality show it is reality. his is the behavior that we want out of our president? >> right now they are fighting like this in crumbling each other. breathe. ted cruz saying stop , take a second and breathe. >> romney might maneuver behind the scenes to contest this convention. >> that's another one. this time with the glasses. >> that is ludicrous. >> does it make you more

>> you're not as dumb as you look . >> they look like women's glasses. >> w abc noon three. thank you. >> still to come. we will take a break and come back .

. taking a look at the sports. it's a frustrating loss for the rangers. >> here is something you don't see every day. second. in no score after taking a big hit . asking for a timeout while he was knocking over the net. he was given two minutes for a delay of game penalty. the rangers lives 4/1. the devils are not ready to give up . in overtime last night as the predators, they took a power play. he got the loose plug in the game results at 5/4. >> the islanders sweep in a tie at three.
