you can clearly tell where that front is westerly winds morristown, newburgh, southwest to the park. the front is almost on top of new york city. sticky and humid. you are seeing the numbers drop north and west into the 70s and lower 80s. lower 80s at the beaches because of the wind off the water. 92 in newark. look at the temperatures. sticky and stuffy, 74 montauk. 55 fallish degrees in again the dew point. that front is just west of new through. clouds basically with sunshine at 7:00 tonight. more westerly. you feel the difference before skies. and sunshine. along with the front we have seen thunderstorms, severe they are through connecticut. storms. a shower could pop up over eastern long island. the swirling air of low pressure is whipping the front through. we have to watch the eastern edge of cloudiness tomorrow. with the low north and east we get grazed by that. a few extra clouds north and west. notice the cooling with that low. 50s in the upper great lakes. we don't get the cooling. it bypasses us to the north. we get the benefit of the low humidity. drier, delightful tomor

that means sun for about an hour is all it takes to get a sunburn. 88s are wild, newburgh, poughkeepsie, kingston. 87 morristown, hackettstown, west orange and down to belmar. the real feels at noontime in the low 90s with the humidity and as the people goes up, the real feel goes up as well and that peak time will be from 2:00 to 3:00 to 4:00 this afternoon. that's when it will feel stuffy and steamy. here is the southerly wind coming up. that puts more moisture than a southwest wind or a land breeze like a west southwest to a west breeze. air quality is not great away from the coastal areas. the wind from the south makes it a tad cooler on the south facing shores. no thunderstorms popping up now. the front that i'm talking about is back here in the great lakes. that comes thursday evening, thursday night. watch the pa tur cast. here -- watch the futurecast, a pop up storm for the afternoon. tomorrow a slight chance north and west. thursday the thunderstorms will pop up around 3:00 and then here comes the line coming through the area overnight thursday into friday morning. then that pu

kind of an expansion of what we're seeing right now. 83 in the park, 82 iclep, 82 newburgh. there's that flood warning, one essex and union county. i want to zoom in again to that spot over western union county that just keeps getting pounded by heavy rain. very near mountain side where we've had reports of several feet of water flowing down some of the roads there, particularly coney route 22. another radar picture has parts of orange county getting in a nasty thunderstorm. this one approaching western parts of monmouth county. i think everything will tend to weaken as we approach the evening hours and lose that daytime heating. the maps are not too pretty if you look off to the west. there's a lot of shower and thunderstorm activity, a lot of instability in the atmosphere. if anything things will become more widespread so the entire tri-state area gets downpours tomorrow night into the day on friday. here's why. tomorrow we get sun and then clouds increase. i think shower and thunderstorm activity mainly stays west of new york city tomorrow, the high 85. the front tries to

newburgh 66. 61 morristown. that puts us in the scale of starting to feel the humidity. sticky, uncomfortable. in the coming days, it will become oppressive. yesterday dew points in the 50s it felt so good. radar and satellite pictures, storm free. if you are making that escape, to the catskills or the jersey shore, any of the beaches or going over to citi field, mets play at 7:10, great night to be out and about. temperatures are climbing today and tomorrow is our chance at 90 with the increase in humidity. you will start to feel it. this is the beginning of check on your neighbors. have plans to stay cool, monitor the air-conditioning, that kind of stuff. by late friday we could get a quick shower to the north -- pardon me. late saturday we could get a quick shower to the north. then sunday the more widespread chance after 5:00. those showers are out of here in no time at all and it will make it more steamy. not really a front that clears out the atmosphere. if you are doing any beaching and boating, sea and sand forecast, west wind 7 to 5 miles per hour. water tempera

the relationships continued, so hamilton had a rivalry with dates which continued into 1783, with the newburgh conspiracy, his relationship with washington continued through the constitution and its administration. his relationship with philip schuyler continued until hamilton's death. his were not just relationships during this one time. these were lifelong relationships that started during this period. if we are going to understand washington's relationship with hamilton during the first in ministration, we have to understand his relationship with hamilton during this period, beyond the story of the history. you also get a better glimpse at the people themselves. the book is about his accompaniments, but also about his character and about washington's character and all these people's characters. and hamilton on the battlefield or writing letters might not display so much about his character. it might show bravery and intelligence, but it does not show his friendship, his support for his friends, and how he treated his rivals, which is also remarkable. i do not think you could look at the lif

the win is northwest, north at poughkeepsie, north at newburgh and now morristown and the park is showing a north wind. that will shut this humidity down before we get to lunchtime. here are the wind busts with that rain cells that -- wind gusts with the rain cells that came will you this morning. nassau county, western suffolk has this flood warning with this one cell in the front over nassau county. the rest is pushed in towards connecticut. along the l.i.e., the southern state there, that will be moving towards montauk highway, sunrise highway. look at this air mass that's clear all the way back to the great lakes. the rain 3/10 around the park, belmar. sussex. some good rainfall amounts in isolated pockets. now our futurecast shows by 9:00 suffolk county on long island you've got that rain that will keep pushing eastward. we clear out for the afternoon. we clear out tonight. saturday there's a little system out in the atlantic that backs a shower by saturday night in the eastern long island. look at the rest of the air, pretty much quiet except sunday showing clouds that will be backi

newburgh 21 miles per hour straight out of the south. morristown 14 miles per hour. this is all just ahead of the cold front that will be approaching us. what to expect is that the storms will stay west early tonight and then the downpours happening just after midnight and continuing into early friday. you will need your umbrellas early friday. rain is heavy enough to flood areas, especially low lying areas, typically flood broken areas and anyone affected by flooding in the last 24 to 48 hours. i think even up in the hudson valley creeks and streams will be inundated with water. even if you are not highlighted in green on the national flood watch area, expect a storm. here is what we are dealing with. on the radar picture, accutrack shows the showers that are coming through pennsylvania then heading into sussex and parts of morris that will get a little bit of rain here. that is ahead of the front. the main body of moisture is coming in after midnight. the storm systems will be moving west to east and they get out of here about midday tomorrow. the computer models a

were in newburgh. another local connection. see, this stuff just rolls off me. humidity at 59%. and let's go to laguardia, 69. you're fine at. 69 at jfk. and 69 in jersey city. and 67 in staten island. and cool spot, 54 degrees. it's around where we were yesterday. parts of the area, it's warmer. i think the city easily has a repeat today of 83. east wind though could temper some of the temperatures east of the city. but in new york, right around 80 for lunchtime. and 83 for the high. and feels like it with those low dew points. not too bad. and don't forget the sunscreen, uv forecast an 8. burn time 15 to 25 minutes and. there's low, nice ridge for us. good news with wet weather for california. this weekend, you know, we need rain but now we worry for days and looks like the system is going to stay offshore. and only bad news is, there's a greater rip current risk for the beaches. it will likely be up to moderate and then high. particularly for the jersey shore. and today a moderate risk for long isla

. >> august 11th, 2010, newburgh, new york. after eight months of prep work, launch day finally arrives. >> when we were assembling the balloon, the two kids, max and his best friend miles were just so excited. >> we bought like some lollipops so me and miles were really hyped up. >> the kids give this really great countdown. >> ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, zero, blast off! >> we cut off the balloon. >> it started rocking wildly like crazy. it was 25 feet a second. it was pretty fast. after about two minutes, it disappeared into the clouds. >> they track the craft's coordinates. but that's no guarantee they'll be able to retrieve it. >> the batteries in the phone could freeze. it could just not give out signal and we'll never find it. if it falls into anything that would block the transmission, it falls into very dense trees too deeply, it could lose reception. if it falls into water, that would be very bad. a lot of things can go wrong. >> until they recover the craft, it will be a mystery as to w

as well. 84 at belmar, 95 in morristown, look at dichotomy between the coast and inland here, 91 at newburgh, 94 your temperature at poughkeepsie. the radar picture showing some of those pop-up showers and storms mainly south of new york city over western parts of monmouth county, this is i-195 here, here's upper freehold so just north of there, that storm sitting in the same spot and that could cause heavy downpours for a while during the next hour or so. steamy during the day tomorrow, not quite as hot as today. a high getting up to 91, maybe a shower or storm mainly north and west as we head into wednesday, warm and humid out there, more of the same, 84, though, so we get back down closer to normal by the middle part of the week. accuweather forecast for tonight, could be a stray thundershower early, especially south of the city and then quite warm and sticky only going down to 78 for a low in central park. sunny to partly cloudy, another hot, humid day, not quite as hot as today, 91 could be a spotty afternoon thunderstorm especially north and west of the city. maybe a spotty storm early

out of the east during the afternoon hours. 76 in the park at 10:00, 74 at islip, it will be 69 in newburgh, may be just a -- the humidity so low that even though these temperatures are really comfortable might feel a little cool if there's a breeze out there. 71 in belmar. tomorrow morning upper 50s to start the day well north and west and during the afternoon hours we will be in the low and middle 80s, sunshine, patchy clouds, that's basically a few clouds that are breaking off from a system that's way offshore and you know what? there's a second low on sunday and that's why it's almost the same forecast. a few patchy clouds getting in here during the day, low and mid-80s and low humidity. sea and sand, choppy, northeast wind 10 to 20 miles an hour, may ease a little bit during the afternoon. but two to as much as five, 6 feet on the jersey shore, 72 degrees, the water temperature looks great. the rip current risk on the moderate side. air quality certainly good. first time i have seen the grass pollen high in a while because of the breezes and humidity kicking that up. still not in ragwi

morristown you were 93 last hour, now down to 88, cooling off there. 88 in poughkeepsie, 81 at newburgh where you've had a couple of showers and thunderstorms cooling things off. an air quality alert for much of the region through 11:00 p.m., so much like the past couple of days like a broken record, you just want to avoid strenuous activity outside because air quality is not very good. a lot of particulates in the atmosphere, a lot of ground level ozone out there. the radar picture right now, pretty quiet compared to what it was a couple of hours ago. we had some big storms in parts of the mid-hudson valley, those have tended to weaken and that trend will continue as we lose that maximum daytime heating as we approach sunset. you can see a big plume of moisture, though off to our west and that will gradually get closer to the tri-state area during the next couple of days. i think the humidity will start to increase as we head into tomorrow as if it already isn't humid enough. 40-mile-an-hour winds looking pretty well developed, though. continue moving off to the west and by sunday it's

get a sunburn and ragweed is starting to show up in the pollen count. 72 kingston to poughkeepsie to newburgh. warm in the overnight hours. should be about 68 in the city. maybe upper 50s well north and west. ten degrees warmer than normal with a southerly wind through brooklyn and queens and up the hudson river valley. you really feel that with a southerly to a southeast wind. a couple of showers hanging back in here around the mountains of pennsylvania, williamsport through state college and down to maryland. this is the front we are talking about that is slowly moving eastward. in 24 hours it has moved from chicago to detroit. in 24 hours to cleveland. so, it's moving slow. it gets here late tonight after midnight and through the morning tomorrow. it loses its punch. here is this afternoon at 4:00. showers and thunderstorms off to the west. here comes the front overnight. here is midnight tonight. tomorrow morning at this time you need your rain gear. showers and thunderstorms. but the guidance has this pushing through pretty quick. you will see the sun comes out in the afternoon and we cl
