This country already has a debt problem. We dont need to add to it by someone who has experience at running up and destroying the Credit Rating of his state. The thing is this, when youre president of the united states, when youre governor of a state, the memorized 30 second speech where you talk about how Great America is at one problem, and when the worst Natural Disaster in your States History hits you, they expect you to rebuild your state, which is what i have done.

At least 19 people were killed. This is video of rescuers pulling Young Children from the and soldiers are on the ground combing through the ruins. The mayor of tenan says life detectors found at least 29 people. They were still alive but trapped inside. Just heartbreaking. Terrible to see that. Amy freeze, enjoy today. This weeks going to be messy, but not crazy. I knew that was coming. Im glad, though, for three hours. I hate to turn on you and be like whats the weather. Whats the weather going to be. We listen. The sun is out. Its beautiful to start, as far as just peeking out your window and see whats happening. Were in the mid30s in the city. Although its chilly in outlying areas with 20s holding on. It will take much to boost these temperatures and pushing the upper 40s sounds pretty nice, especially because after week thats very active with storm systems coming and going, and so some snow showers are expected this week. 37 in central park is where we begin, southwest wind, looking out on the island here, coe mack, roslyn up to 38, down the shore temperatures about where they were yesterday at the same time, so were starting off maybe even a handful of degrees warmer than we were yesterday morning. So you can check the numbers and see, not so bad. And as we go throughout the day, these temperatures could add maybe 10, even 15 degrees to them before the daytime high. Tomorrow, its on and off with snow. This is a pattern that goes all the way through wednesday. Were getting snow showers hit or miss, so were in an active pattern but we really dont have a major snowstorm to contend with. This is something you have to Pay Attention to. Minor coastal flooding monday by as a coastal storm. You can see it here on the radar, crawling up the coastline, and we dodged the main body of water. Well get a little bit, mixed precipitation for the jersey shore, and turning into snow tomorrow morning, as we have cold air in place. Here we go on future cast. Mid40s turning into the 30s overnight. Starts to get cold in spots and by the Early Morning hours, we have plenty of cold air to work with, and so we get some snow showers happening. Might melt on the surface, so accumulations are going to vary. Its not going to be snow that stacks up real deep. Instead, slight snow showers in the area on and off throughout the day on monday, tuesday, and then even lighter flakes expected on wednesday. So on the future cast, one thing i wanted to show you as far as timing, you saw it there as well. High resolution computer models here, going to show you a little bit more precisely, even though we have this moisture here to work with, those snow thats another reason why accumulations arent necessarily so important with whats going to be happening this week. Instead, the timing on when these showers occur and how it affects your drive or commute, and staying safe out there is the most important thing to watch for. Tonight, 35 degrees, mostly cloudy. Tomorrow well go 38. Again, accumulations are something to watch, but not focus up on. I dont think theres going to be plowable snow. We have temperatures in the upper 30s to 40 degrees in the city. Some of the outlying areas, parts of long island, at least a couple of inches at a time, and that may allow you for some plowing, i think most likely time period for that to be happening would be monday afternoon. So thursday, friday and saturday look like the cold is coming in at the Freezing Point. Friday were down to 28. A little bit of an arctic air mass coming in for late in the week. All right. Boom there it is. Thank you, amy. An investigation is underway in West Chester County after radioactive contaminated at the Indian Point Nuclear facility in buchanan. Governor cuomo says alarming levels were found in three monitoring wells on friday. The level in one well increased 65,000 .

Thats after the driver came to the rescue of four men stranded by a different driver. They got in and said that the last driver passed them up, and they didnt know why. They figured it was because they were black. So i told them you all look fine to me. Get in. Well, it turns out the men group naughty by nature, those four guys. They had a show that night, and invited the driver who helped them out and gave him the vip experience. We pulled him up on stage, gave him a hoodie, gave him some beer.

Brooklyn in the second of a backtoback visiting the lowly 76ers, but they have noel who was putting on a show. The highlights reel, one handed dunk in the second, it was a close game. Thaddeus young with the spin move. Still close in the final minutes. Robert covington dialing up the three with the sixers lead with 1 16 to go. The nets had a chance to get it back. Thats not going to do it. Getting sloppy, the band handoff leads to the turnover. Noel, the easy dunk, so 10398, the nets fall.
