Heat concerns prompted some schools in connecticut to send students home early. Most schools across the state do not have airconditioning so teachers did their best to keep rooms cool by bringing in fans and, of course, opening the windows. Despite the effort and the inconvenience, parents and administrators agreed, early dismissal on the this hot day was the early dismissal on this hot day was the right decision. I dont think they could learn the same if they are here all day just suffocating and sweating and wanting to go to the nurse. As much as we like to have a routine set at the beginning of the year and this certainly disrupts our routine, common sense has to prevail. Some schools plan to close early tomorrow, as well.

Reporter palisades avenue in teaneck is lined with homes, schools, businesses, parkland and what residents call a major issue. Idling freight trains on the tracks. The idling is noisy. Its disruptive. Reporter Lorraine Wilkins holmes backs up to the railroad. She says over the last decade she and neighbors have been dealing with more and more train traffic up to 30 per day each with up to 100 cars. You see where the train is next to my house and if something happens, god forbid reporter some of the trains stop here on one of the three tracks to prevent bottlenecking further north where theres only one track. We dont want them idling behind the houses and also carrying dangerous chemicals. Reporter some freight trains carry crude oil adding to fears about safety. We want to make sure that those trains are idling for as short as possible. Reporter he has been lobbying officials to do something about it. He says some trains sit for more than 12 hours releasing carcinogens into residents backyards. We want to make those changes to discourage csx trains from parking here in teaneck and using teaneck as a train yard as it has for decades. Reporter now, some councilmembers say that if the trains do have to stop here, they should only be able to idle for three to five minutes. This train now moving behind me was here for over 10 minutes. The trains are controlled by the federal government and there are currently no regulations on the time trains can idle. Csx, which operates the rail network, says there is increased idling due to an uptick in business. They attempt to minimize idling and hold trains in places with the least impact, they say. Meg baker, cbs 2 news. Its hoped an expansion project will relieve the problem. Idling trains will be the main problems at teanecks Town Council Meeting tonight.

With the west indian day parade, Team Giuliani often went after guns in the area several days before it began. This year, four people were shot and two stabbed. Be doing . Mayor de blasio should concentrate on governing rather than traveling around and he should return to stop frisk. If they had been stopped, questioned and frisking in the three, four days leading up to the parade which is when we began policing it, that might not have happened. Reporter when you worked for mayor giuliani, did you homeless and gun policies . In terms of the what went on in the 90s, we first began to address the issue of crime and homelessrelated activities in the subways. We dramatically reduced that population because we have the rules and regulations, we could work to do that. Reporter the Police Commissioner said he would like the city council to pass laws that make it easier to go after the homeless although he admitted it would be an uphill battle because many councilmembers identify themselves as progressive liberals.

Today you hit 97. Tomorrow about 90 degrees or so. Humidity goes up so its going to feel similar to what it felt like out there today. Typical would be 78 degrees. So look at that.

And with that ground being so dry, it could be a lot of runoff and flooding problems so heres how we see it. By the time you get to wednesday 7 p. M. Start to see some pockets of heavy rain, heres your front making its way through the area, then thursday thats the actual front making its cross around 3 30 in the afternoon with some very heavy rain in spots, okay .
