hit it tomorrow. it's a beach weekend with slight chance of showers. warm water at the shore. sea temperatures from 74 up to 80 degrees down around portions of the jersey shore. that's a mild water for us out there. so what will the skies be doing? again, they look good for the entire weekend. saturday has that slight chance for a shower. but around the beaches i put it at 20% or less. it's a warm day 85 to 89. sunday partly to mostly sunny skies. temperatures warmer about the same 58 to 88. now if you take a look right now, it's quiet out there except for those areas north of us right around albany. you have some thunderstorms pushing through. a couple could slide down. they are not going to go well south but they could make and dutchess counties. if you are in the mountains that same trend is more so for you.

your rain chance in the mountains 30% chance for saturday. 84 to 88. sunday 20% or less but a slight risk, not major. mountains or beaches it's a go this weekend. it looks really nice. if you look at the heat, it's all coming in from those areas south and west for us, where this air mass is coming in from. [ mispronunciation ] >> it's not moisture. it's going to be rainfall. it's going to be the humidity. you will feel the humidity on the way up. otherwise it will be a nice beach weekend. rain possibly making its way down into sullivan county and you willster. not a big problem. a big day, make you can find a shower in the mountains. i don't think mother nature subscribes to this computer model but it could drop down a bit so i put in a 30% chance for a shower if you are heading north or west of the city. not a big risk if you are at the beaches for saturday.

then you get into your day on sunday. looks good. is there any rain? i mean, could be some. remember, when the computer models show you a light green color like this, that's a real light shower. so if you see any rain on sunday it's not going to be too much of anything. it's really a good weekend from start to finish. heat is going to be one of the big stories of: so you're right there, that would make a heat wave for four days in a row. we were close already. we had a two-day run and the third day was 89 couple of weeks ago so no heat wave but this could be the same. just know it's going to be hot and humid. >> the streak continues. >> right. >> another great weekend. >> the weekend have been fabulous. >> thank you. otis is up next with a look at sports. >> after lackluster preseason

debut the jets bringing another backup quarterback candidate i'll tell how it is. for the second straight weekend yankees blue jays first place showdown this time around, the yankees are the

hunters not the hunted. cbs2/wfan sports update. we'll get to the jets news in a moment. but the yankees we are going to start with. further back. turn about is fair play. after getting swept at home last weekend the yankees will try to return the favor in toronto beginning a three-game set tonight. unlike the previous series the yankees are the team in second place thanks to a five-game losing streak. the yankees went from 4.5 games up to half game back. there's a little matter of the blue jays being the hottest team in the majors. don't expect this to be easy for the yankees. they are going to have to take it. >> at home the last few days, know, it will be tough. i know it will be a big series

and, you know, their fans are pretty rowdy up there. it will be a great atmosphere. i'm looking forward to the challenge. if the blue jays are hot, the mets are riding a four- game winning streak. they have won 11 of 13 going into the series opener against the pirates at city fields. now to football. the giants kick off their preseason action tonight and they will be very familiar with tonight's opponents having practiced against the bengals the last few days. beckham has looked good so he is healthy. let's not forget, before he went out and had that spectacular rookie season, he didn't play at all in the preseason with the hamstring injury so this will be his big blue preseason debut. >> what do we have to wear to the game stuff like that because i really -- i didn't know i was at home every weekend every time they traveled i was at home. and i got to go to the preseason games last year but whole thing. so this is all kind of ne -- new to me, as well. >> the quarterback was a question mark for the jets

even before the jaw breaking punch to geno smith. now they have to decide if bryce petty is a capable backup. he went 10 for 18 last night. he took a physical with the jets, matt flynn. he was just released by the patriots four days ago. finally tonight remember the hard feelings between yankees and a-rod heading into spring training? the jinx trying to see if they can get out of paying for his milestones because of ped use? the things have changed. they will honor his 3,000 hit in a pre-game ceremony on september 13. they didn't even acknowledge his 660th home run to tie time. so things starting to work out for beat sides i guess. a-rod having a successful season helping them get to almost first place right now so -- >> and he is saying all the right things. >> he is. he knew he had to fall on his sword. [ overlapping speakers ] >> all right. we'll be right back.
