meteorologist jeff smith is in for lee goldberg with the accuweather forecast. summertime out there, huh? >> feeling summary. with that type of weather you have to just prepare for the pop-up shower, thunderstorm which we could get through the evening hours. looking more threatening as the clouds have begun to increase as we will look outside towards central park and definitely a lot brighter. 77 still though and the south wind coming around 6 miles per the morning low of 62. that is more typical of what you would see in early to mid- june to put everything into perspective here the normal high at this time of the year is 64 and the record was set back in 2001. now, that is 86. some parts of our area have gotten into the lower 80s today. a few showers and a thunderstorm tonight just a couple of showers around, mainly early. kind of a slow start tomorrow and the clouds and maybe a stray shower or mainly south and east of new york city. and then breezy and brighter in the afternoon. not quite as warm as today, but still getting up in the low 70s. and then down rig

. >>> meteorologist jeff smith in for lee goldberg. we got about a week more of this, five days more? >> temperatures actually over achieved a little bit today. we got a little bit more sunshine. >> we like overachievers. >> some places today got in to the upper 60s like newark, new jersey. here in the city, 63. we're about a week away from 70-degree warmth. maybe some sustained 70-degree warmth in the tri-state season. winds coming in from the south. a little bit breezy. about 17 miles per hour. look at the high today, getting up to 63, after kind of a chilly morning low of 43. that's actually fairly normal for this time of the year. we actually went above normal for a change after such a chilly weekend. record was 84 in 1955. got all the way down to 24 back in 1909. could be a stray shower this evening, especially north and west of new york city. then steadier rain developing toward dawn. this is with a cold front heading our direction. it will last right throughout the morning hours of tomorrow. definitely give yourself a little bit

this year's lineup including jim chano, daid einhorn, jeff smith, so many more, and we will be thereing it all. we are the exclusive broadcast partner, happy to be exactly that, and the best part is that the conference is all for charity. here with a sneak peek at what to expect is evan sone, one of the founders of the conference. we are also joined by angelo marterell who had the opportunity to pitch his top stock pick last year. great to have you both. evan, tell us about the conference. we all know many of our know, ms may know about it. >> thanks so much. really, thanks so much to all of cnbc for being or partner there year and throughout all our conferences through the world. my brother passed away at the age of 29. he was a "wall street journal" traders. hi miggers and friends and colleagues approached myself and my family with this idea of starting this investment idea conference, whose proceeds would go to charity. though my brother was not a pediatric patient, he was treated on a ped rick wing as an outpatient, so we discussed to invest the proes into cancer research. so we

and frankly other than jeff smith who is leading the activist campaign to unseat the board and a number of publications out there that seem to report on nothing but yahoo! i'm not sure there are many people who care. >> wow. you mean other, like, the verizon world or viewers? >> i think viewers and investors. if you get a surprising number here, that here, that certainly could move the stock. private equity is a difficult move for them. in part because of the comp that's delivered now to yahoo! employees in the form of equity. so when you're a private equity bidder, you have to slice out some of your own equity to give. the equity check itself would be large. if verizon wants it, verizon will take it. it's just the number. there's a lot of complexity with the yahoo! japan stake that's out there. unclear what will happen to that. if that will be kept by what's left behind. the alibaba stake the key part of that. i'm just saying that every last move of yahoo! is not potentially of great interest to the investing public. when the day comes that there is a potential sale, we can tell people

. >> hi, jeff smith, center for public integrity. the overall impression i get from the conversation so far, which has been excellent, is, of a lot of players who are stuck. we're stuck. assad is stuck. the russians are stuck. so in a very unfair way, could you please open your crystal ball and tell us what you think will be present five years from now in damascus. just look forward. you've given us a sense of where things are right now, but project forward from where we are right now. it's an unfair question, i know it's difficult, but i'd still like to hear what you have to say. >> if i could start, i'll complete the painting i started out with. if the united states and the international community had been willing to spend real money in syria, one could have done a yugoslavia where isis conquered easily. we're not going to do that, because we've stuck to our international borders and our plan of power sharing and returning iraq and syria to theirs. that means that we bowed out, really. america is busy destroying the sunnis of iraq

. >> jeff smith, center for republic integrity. a lot of players were stuck it we were stuck.sad is stuck. the russians are stuck. so in a very unfair way could you please open your crystal ball and tell us what you think will be present five years from now in damascus? looking forward, if you could give us a good sense of where things are now the project forward from where we are right now. this is an unfair question that i knoi know it's difficult i wod still likely what you have to say. >> i won't just complete the painting i started out with. if the unite attorney and the international community have been willing to spend real money in syria, one could have done a yugoslavia and created a sunni state where isis conquered easily. we are not going to do that because we have stuck to international borders and our plan of power sharing amongst all these different sects. america's busy destroying the cities of iraq with a very sectarian shiite regime the rush is busy destroying the cities of syria and we are both cooperating in a sense to destroy the remaining sunni powers that

we await earnings after the bell today from intel and yahoo among others david faber spoke with jeff smith earlier. he joins us with more on that fascinating tale. >> people are so focused or at least many publications are very focused on yahoo's potential sale of its core business but there doesn't seem to be quite as much focus on the impending fight that's taking place with starboard, the firm that owes 1.7% of the shares of starboard launched an attempt to take control of the board of directors of yahoo, but it's interesting, the conclusion of that proxy fight will come after the conclusion of the process to sell the core business. so i asked mr. smith wouldn't it be better to try to settle and get on that board now to potentially influence the sale process as opposed to be there when it's over and done with? >> if we get to the end and they haven't been successful as it relates to getting the company sold, the core business sold we are going to need to pick up the pieces and be able to make change a. now, the other choice as you mentioned is settling. the advantage of settling today i

and finally reference to my interview yesterday with jeff smith from starboard, they are seeking ninets on the board of directors, but of course that vote won't come until after the sales process has concluded leaving many to believe wouldn't it make sense to get somebody on the board from starboard sooner rather than later to be a part of the process. i think you would expect -- >> hill. you hearing hill? >> no. i don't know. i'm just hearing you might get a settlement sooner rath r than later. given the numbers we're not off in estimates, in fact we're a bit better. you know, maybe they get something done there and get rid of another distraction in their proxy fight. >> what's left is worth something. i mean, they do have customers. people go there. yahoo finance does well. yahoo's sports does well. that do have some growth. i mean, it's worth something, is what i'm saying. >> yes. and verizon seems willing to pay something. >> $8 billion? is that what it's woth? >> search a tad disappointing. suboptimal. >> suboptimal. >> but they are diligent, david, they are expeditious. i got to

making an agreement with activist investor and one of the most vocal critics, starboard value, jeff smith three other independent directors, not only pushing for yahoo to sell the core business which includes fantasy sports, yahoo finance, tumbler, but calling for the ousting of marissa mayer. multimedia trust portfolio manager larry haggerty, thanks for joining us. isn't it interesting that here is a guy who once to turn over the company and marissa mayer want him on board, getting pushed to do this. what is your take on it? >> there were two choices here. either the board changes things or someone comes in through a proxy fight and does it for them. the latter would have more breakage. the cash flow in this company is declining precipitously, looking for it to be in the neighborhood of $750 million this year. many years ago, it was higher than facebook. facebook has $9 million of cash flow. facebook won, yahoo lost. after losing to qvc next, it is better for the board to engage or do the self process, you deal with the new board, start from scratch, have a lot of good employees, no doub
