You know, some schools are last week. As you send the kids out this morning, dress hem in lightweight clothing because it is going to a hot one as everyone heads out this morning. Temperatures are in the middle to upper 70s across much of the area. We are expecting it to be hot and humid later today, and temperatures will be in the 90s and a lot of sunshine, so shorts and a tshirt not only for the kiddies, but also the teachers. You need to be comfortable. 60s in monticello and sussex, 76 in central park. 74 in bridgeport and 71 in islip. Dewpoints making it uncomfortable this morning, most readings are in the 60s, theyre going to stay high for the next couple of days. The wind direction is out of the southwest and relatively light, but its that southwest wind flow which is helping to bump up the heat and humidity. No rain on the radar, just a couple of high, thin clouds later this afternoon. High pressure is our dominant weather feature, and its going to protected us from rain at least until tomorrow. Today hot and humid. Itll be breeze city, but were going with high numbers mostly in the 90s. 92 for central park. The actual record for this date is 93, so we could tie it possibly. Tomorrow still warm and humid, same thing for thursday, but we will have the chance for rain which is hutch needed because drought. This morning. Ines is here. Good morning, audrey. Lets start off with the lincoln tunnel. Joe bierman is in sky fox hd, where you have a major delay. Whats going on . Port authority finally telling us its a threecar accident with five injuries south tube. You can see they have completely closed that south tube. They actually backed up the cars that were stuck inside the tube, so thats an indicator itll be a while. You have well over a one hour delay on your way to an hour and a half inbound lincoln tunnel. You want to head over to the holland, the gw or the tappan zee and avoid this whole mess. Its just going to be gridlock back to you. You can see it on the local road, a mess traveling inbound. Other issues, the bqe westbound, theres an accident by queens boulevard, one lane blocked. The Grand Central approaching the q gardens interchange, only one lane getting through with an accident. Traffic backs up to the Northern State parkway, and the cross eye hand parkway, traffic slow northbound by northern boulevard. We have an accident. As far as staten island, crossing the verrazano bridge lower level theres a crash, stick with the upper level. Lets go to the holland tunnel, if you want to take this instead of the lincoln tunnel, this is the turnpike approach, theyre stopped at the light there, but youre fine inbound. As far as the George Washington bridge, upper level 30 minutes, lower level 1520. Trains also a great option, everything running on or close to schedule, street cleaning rules are back in effect today. Ines, thank you so much. The west indian day parade, one of the highlights of labor day weekend. And unfortunately, a terrible, terrible shooting happened, and the search is on this morning for the man who shot this aide to governor cuomo. Yeah. Kerry gabetu43 years old, a harvard law graduate. He was enjoying the festivities with his brother when apparently he was caught in the cross fire, seriously injured. Its not looking good at this point. He was shot in the head, and whoever shot him, they dont know who he is yet. Lets go to robert moses who has more on this. Greg and rosanna, good morning to you. I just spoke to police, and kerry underwent surgery, and police say that he is still this Critical Condition morning at kings county hospital. His wife has been all about overcoming challenges to achieve great success. Now, he paces the toughest faces the toughest challenge of all as he fights to survive. Governor cuomo says that the 43yearold is a shining example of the American Dream can. He grew up in public housing, graduated from harvard and joined the Cuomo Administration as a lawyer in 2011. Could have gone to any law firm in this city and made quadruple what he was getting paid by the state. He was all heart. He wanted to give back to his community. He was walking with his brother and a group of friends on bedford avenue enjoying the celebrations before the west indian day parade early yesterday morning when police say he got caught in the cross fire between who rival groups. There erupted a bunch ofshots. A good 20 shots. One of those shots hit him in the head. Police say he was not the intended target. This was a beautiful man, a sweet man, a man who was giving back to his community. Gentle man who had nothing to do, was involved in nothing, just walking down the street. Police recovered a weapon but have not made any arrests. The shooting is yet another example of the violence that plagues the west indian day parade each year. Another man was stabbed to death about an hour and a half before the shooting. Gangs account for much of the violence. Its a traditional time, unfortunately in this area, that we deal with all the time. So its unfortunate that it occurred during this event, but theres no reason to not go forward with the events each year. Mayor de blasio was among those who visited kerry at the hospital. Our prayers are with him and with his family, and theres another reminder of bigger fights we are engaged in every day which is to get guns off our streets. This is a really wellloved public servant, and you can see that on twitter. This from attorney general eric schneiderman, my thoughts and prayers are with kerry, he is a wonderful public servant. And this from city councilwoman melissa, the gown violence must end, hashtag peace. Greg and rosanna, back to you. Thank you. The governor, actually, is in puerto rico this morning. He went on a highlevel trip accompanied by numerous elected officials except mayor de blasio. Right. Theres tension between the two. Puerto rico is in a financial crisis right now. Yeah. Its 72 billion in debt, and yesterday the governor called on congress to give the island the power to declare bankruptcy. Among those joining the governor are Bronx Borough president Ruben Diaz Jr they look very much alike there. I believe hes puerto rican official. Sorry we dont have his name. Yes, the mayor is not on that trip. All right. Right here, starting today, changes for those who take the bus home from the Port Authority. The Port Authority over there on the west side. Yes, big changings. By the way, it desperately needs renovation. Lets go to Teresa Priolo outside the bus depot with more. Hi, teresa. Good morning, everyone. Ill tell you more about those plans in just a minute. If youve ever been in the bus terminal especially during the evening rush, you have likely experienced the throngs of People Racing toward their gates in order to catch their bus home, and it really is the difference between knowing your gate and not knowing your gate. Thats basically what it is when it comes to making your ride home. Well, for 30 of the 110,000 people who rely on the bus terminal every day, they will be scrambling today. But the Port Authority is telling us really this shortterm chaos will hopefully lead to longterm improvement. Its confusing now, as it is now. That might help the situation. Riders on 55 bus routes traveling through the Port Authority bus terminal are gearing up for what is expected to be some very confusing commutes. The Port Authority is reassigning its departure gates for nj transit and coach buses, so where you used to catch your bus has now been changed to a different gate on a different floor. I might have to go to a different gate. If its not that big of a change and i have time to adjust, ill be fine. The rejiggering should affect more than 30,000 commuters who use the bus terminal on a daily basis. Nj transit buses will be housed on the third floor in the heart of building, allowing more buses to leave on time. All coach buses and its partners will move to the fourth floor. This essentially allows the actual Bus Companies to, as one Port Authority executive put it, be owners of their own state. State own fate. The buses get caught up in the tunnel and get backed up and and cause delays. The change, part of the 90 Million Initiative to enhance the Passenger Experience. It was spurred by the significant delays commuters experienced last summer when gridlock caused buses to miss their departure times. Its a time some riders wont soon forget. Well wait and see, you know . Ive been living in new jersey for two years, and it is kind of tough. I just talked to one commuter who told me he is expecting it to be mayhem later on today, and hes hoping to get out of work early just to make his bus. The Port Authority has people handing out these pamphlets this morning telling people their gates have changed, it lists all the different bus routes and where their new gates will be. As far as the building is concerned, because we were just talking about that, later this year the Port Authority will be discussing plans to redo the entire building. They expect it to cost upwas of 10. 5 billion, and it may take 15 years to complete the project. Thats the latest from midtown this morning, back to you in the studio. Say hi to the Jackie Gleason statue over there on your way home. See you later. Lets go across the pond. A british drone strike has taken out three isis terrorists who had been planning to kill Queen Elizabeth ii. And other members of the to royal family, yes. We just heard this from british leadership yesterday. A drone strike in syria back on august 21st. The plot, apparently, was to kill the queen, other members of the royal family on the 70th anniversary of vj today which is next week. That was thwarted, and the british Prime Minister says the terrorists were taken out, again, by a drone strike back in august. Meanwhile, europes migrant crisis worsens. In hungary, thousands of refugees broke through police lines, hundreds of thousands of migrants have been flooding into europe, and as they try to get away and escape war and poverty stricken countries including syria, iraq and afghanistan you heard the pope is taking in ref due gees. Yes. And theres calls for the United States to take as well. Well see how that works out. All right. We have the ongoing saga of that clerk in kentucky, the one who refuses to issue marriage licenses to gay comes. Kim davis is still this jail. Her lawyers are seeking to have her freed today, but theyve got a fight on their hands. Yeah. They disagree with the order to force ms. Davis to issue marriage licenses to samesex couples or allow her deputy clerk to do so. His order was upheld by the supreme court, so when she continued to refuse on religious grounds, she was put in jail for failing to comply with the judges order. She remains in jail while her attorneys file an emergency motion to get her out. All right. Its hot in new york city. The beaches, the city beaches will remain open for several more days. This is a new thing. It usually closes, they close right on labor day along with the city pools. Who knew it cost almost 700,000 just to keep the beaches open for another week. Well, theres, gosh, theres cleanup, there are lifeguards to be paid, so this is new. They will be are open when do they actually close . After sunday. Sunday. This includes the rockway beach in queens, coney island, midland and south beaches in staten island, Orchard Beach in the bronx thats a good one. So theyre going to be open through sunday. Officials say theres been a big beaches. Closing. And, boy, wouldnt it be nice on this 93degree day thats going to feel like 100 to have the pools open . Apparently, it costs 900,000 the week. And by the way, not that many people go to the pool compared to those who go to the beach. That makes sense. Hey, one more plug for the pool, we had so much fun. I dont know why im treating you like a 4yearold girl here. I know. I didnt want to get my hair wet, which with you around you were all about the hair. That was fun, but the summer is over. Audrey . Too bad. Yeah. Well, you know what . Its still going to feel like summer even though its unofficially ending because, as greg mentioned, temperatures are going to make it feel like 90degree range. The actual reading will be in the 90s, and itll feel even hotter. 76 in central ark, dewpoint and humidity very uncomfortable courtesy of that South Southwest wind flow which is relatively light. No rain on our radar, most of the shower activitys happening on Northern Tier of the state. High pressures going to keep us dry for tuesday, but wednesday this is well off towards our west, and that one will are help ignite a couple of showers especially north and west of the city starting tomorrow night. Tropical storm grace is headed for the leeward islands, but by the time it reaches that area, it will be downgraded to a tropical depression. Uv index on the beach is high at a 7, so wear your sun scribe. Rip current risk is moderate. Mostly sunny today, hot and humid. Temperatures will be in the mid 80s along our shore points, low to mid 90s in inland locations. Were going for a high of 9 92 in central park. The record on this day is 93, we could actually tie it, well have to wait and see. And tomorrow more heat and humidity on wednesday, and the chance of rain comes back into the picture. Were in a little bit of a drought. The rain ends friday morning, and we expect sunshine and nice weather for saturday with temperatures of 82. Lets head over to ines rosales whos been very busy with traffic issues this morning. Yeah, a lot going on. Be prepared to pack some patience. Queens, we had an earlier accident can still there on the bqe westbound by queens boulevard, cross island parkway jammed north northbound. There was an earlier accident by exit 17, these two problems enough to cause a delay back to the meadow brook. Traffics slow past jericho turnpike as you approach queens boulevard. Picks up a little bit but then slows down as you approach the cross island parkway. New jerseyness watch out for a couple of accidents on the garden state parkway, avoid that. Lets go to our cameras, take a look at the lincoln tunnel because this is the biggest headache. 90 minutes inbound, traffic on ruth 3 and route 3 and the turnpike backed up for miles. They closed the south tube. Its a multicar accident with injuries there, so everyone has to use the center tube. Theyre trying to use one of the tubes just for the buses heading into Port Authority, but this is still going to cause delays heading into the city. Hold land, gwb, about a 20 minute delay each. Route 3, this is how far back that delay goes. This is by the doeland meadowland, it starts slowing down towards the western sur. So traffic just a sleet mess from new jersey. If youre taking the trains, everything running on or close to schedule. Greg and rosanna, welcome back, guys. Thank you, ines. Looking good in blue. You too. You guys look nice and tan. Did we miss anything while we were gone . Greg, do you want to tell her . What. Greg and his hoverboard. My son wants a hover body. Because he saw you. Be careful on that thing. Did you get hurt . I still havent returned it yet. Go to modells, they sell them cheaply. Anyway, ed sullivan theater, big goings on. Stephen colbert takes over. Coming up later on good day new york. Wendy williams is stopping by. Shes getting ready for the seventh season of he we thought we d be ready. But demand for our cocktail bitters was huge. I could feel our deadlines racing towards us. We didn t need a loan. We needed shortterm funding. Fast. Our amex helped us fill the orders. Just like that. You can t predict it, but you can be ready. Another step on the journey. Will you be ready when growth presents itself . Power at open. Com. This fall at dunkin donuts, get lost in pumpkin. Pick up your favorite pumpkinflavored beverages and baked treats, like the new pumpkin cheesecake square, while theyre still here. America runs on dunkin. Yoplait greek 100. For when you just ca
