  Speaker 1: Now curtis sliwa and larry menti in the morning 7
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: 10 w-o-r.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Well as we get closer to the weekend apparently we
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: get closer to a more accurate forecast and everybody is
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: still talking about this nor'easter so let's bring in WOR
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: meteorologist Ray Stajic to get the latest. Ray, it looks
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: a little more clear now.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, certainly in Nor'easter, I think that's a
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: factor pretty close to it, and then impacts, I guess,
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: is where, you know, the big questions come in. Is it,
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: you know, strong winds, 40-plus where we get into tropical
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: storm force winds? Probably not New York City and the
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: five boroughs west and north of that, but there'll be
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: a cutoff probably even around the Nassau and Suffolk County
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: line where we may see winds, especially as you get
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: out further toward the east, exceed 40, 50 miles per
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: hour at some of the gusts. So Eastern Long Island,
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: certainly a greater risk for damaging winds, which could bring
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: down some trees, power lines. It could be some power outages.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: Now I do mention that even for us here in
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: New York City, because we're still leafed out. I mean,
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: we're going to get winds that could gust maybe 35
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: plus miles per hour. And, with the trees being leaked out,
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: there's a better opportunity for maybe some branches to break,
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: maybe some small trees to come down. So there could
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: be some problems with some spotty power outages. So that's
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: the wind piece of it. And then you got the
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: rain piece. Um, the heaviest rain again, will be East
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: flooding from rain coming out of the sky. I don't
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: think is going to be a problem. There could be
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: totals that could get up to a half inch, maybe
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: up to an inch, but again, higher totals East. It's
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: really all about the flooding coming from, the water that's
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: on the ground, right?
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: Meaning the Atlantic. And that's all coming in.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: The coastal flood advisories and watches and statements are already out,
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: especially during high tides too. So south-facing shores of Long Island,
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: maybe New York Harbor, going to see a water rise.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Minor to moderate flooding is expected. Now, obviously with all that, Larry,
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: we're looking at, you know, we're still, what, two days out?
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: And things could change, track further toward the west, could
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: bring bigger impacts in here to the city. off to
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: the east could bring less impacts. But right now, I
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: think there'll be some impacts. The question will be, will
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: they be greater than we're thinking right now or will
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: they be less than we're thinking right now? There's still
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: some of the fine details that as we now cast,
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: probably from this point forward, basically updating with every major
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: model run later this morning and then again tonight every
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: about 12 hours or so. We'll have a little better
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: picture about what's going on.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Now, hold on. I'm looking at all of your brethren
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: and your sisters in solidarity on the boob tube. And
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: they're pumping fear, fright, hysteria. And, I mean, they're hyping it.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: It's the lead story. You would think it's Superstorm Sandy
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: round two. This nor'easter floods. I get it. fill up
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: the sandbags now. I mean, they are really pumping it
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: as a potential crisis. You're sort of like, you got
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: a cup of coffee in your hand. You're like, hey, meds, meds, hey, poco, poco,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: Well, you know, that's just not my gig. You know
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: what I mean? It's kind of like, here's the information, right?
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: And there'll be coastal flooding, and for some, moderate flooding
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: is still going to bring water into places that don't
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: really want to have water, but You know, looking at
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: a Sandy, no, it's not going to be a Sandy.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: So let's get that out of the picture.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: And it's going to be, you know, something that becomes
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: further toward the West could be worse, but I really
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: don't think we're going to be looking at, I don't know,
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: I don't know if the right word's catastrophic, but it's
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: certainly going to have impacts. The question is going to be,
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: you know, where will they be right now? It's going
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: to be from probably the greatest impacts, coastal flooding. So,
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, there's a little hype around it because
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: just because of the slow movement of the storm and
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: because of the persistent onshore flow that's already occurring. I mean,
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: we're already seeing the water rise along the Atlantic beaches,
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: especially down further south and around Chesapeake Bay at one
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: to two feet. So that persistent kind of push in
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: with a gradient wind with a high pressure to the
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: north and then developing low certainly will cause problems.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: But Sandy, no.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: But I don't want to discount that there won't be
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: some impacts for some, especially from the flooding piece of it.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: So I can give you the answer to this mystery
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: on why it's being hyped. I emailed a friend of
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: mine that's a meteorologist down in Philadelphia. And I said,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: so are you hyping the storm? What were the ratings
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: last night? All he texted back was up 80%.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, I mean, listen, that's what we do. That's
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: a piece of it. And I just....
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: And especially still, you know, me, I'm like three day Ray.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: I'm like, you get to it outside of three days.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Forget it. I'm not touching it today. Next model run
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: later this morning, tomorrow. I'm sure we'll talk tomorrow. They'll
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: probably have a higher confidence forecast and we can be
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: talking tomorrow. And at this time talking about, you know,
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: anything from this thing's going further East and we'll have
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: even less impacts to, and we're shifting a little further West.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: And again, we may see more significant impacts. There's plenty
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: of time.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: You should have been dancing. You should have been on
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: dancing with the stars. You have danced around this question
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: now two days in a row.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Forget the shoreline. Forget the sandbags. We've got the three
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: biggest festivals each year in New York city taking place
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: this weekend. The last two days is San Gennaro packed.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: You got the third Avenue festival in Bay Ridge packed.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: You got the Atlantic annex, uh, from Barkley center to, uh,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: the East River along Atlantic Avenue, packed. That's Saturday, Sunday.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Is it going to be a wipeout? Is it going
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: to be raining? Come on, Ray. You got to cough
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: up a little bit here.
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: Yes, it will be raining, and it will be fairly windy. Now,
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: as I said, I mean, it ain't pretty when it's windy.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: When you've got.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: Gusts of 35 miles per hour and the rain's coming down,
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: the rain could be blowing around.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: It's not going to be pretty.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Okay, so poncho while I'm eating my sausage and peppers.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: Who's that? Is that Curtis or is that Larry Poncho?
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: Poncho on lefty.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Well, is the worst day Saturday or Sunday? So maybe
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: they can get in a festival on Sunday. What is worse?
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: I think worse later Saturday into Saturday night, early Sunday.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: That's like the whole weekend right there.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Hey, wait, wait.
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: Wait, did you miss the part where I said slow moving?
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: No, no, I don't want to hear slow moving.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: You guys just hear what you want to hear.
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: No, we haven't heard anything we want to hear yet.
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: Not one thing we want to hear yet did we hear.
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: You see, we like ratings.
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: It's not going to be pretty.
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: We like ratings. Oh, there you go.
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: Hold on.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: I stepped on the... It's not going to be pretty?
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: How unpretty is it going to be?
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: Do you want me to say I'm not going outdoors?
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't. I rooted for everybody.
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: Because of flying objects?
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Oh, no.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: Rain, wind.
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: See?
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: 35 mile per hour gust. Did we miss all this
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: in this five, six minute conversation?
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: I think I did.
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: I'm not going outside.
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: Death and destruction?
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Oh, my goodness.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: No.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: No.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: I won't go that far yet. Please don't. But I'll
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: leave an opportunity and just a little window there for that.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: All right. What worried me a bit, you gave me
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: a little caveat into your thinking. And if it goes west,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: remember what you said there? If it goes west.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: I did.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Then that impacts me because, you know, Friday I'm heading
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: up to Marshall, New York to rescue the 16,000 beagles.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: People are on their way up there. That's like 18
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: minutes south of Utica, New York. What's it going to
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: be like there? To save the beagles.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: Drive fast and you'll get out of it pretty quick.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: Save the beagles, you'll be fine.
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: He's pretty clear on that, Larry. Everything else, he's doing
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: the tango, the cha-cha, everything else.
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: Here you go.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: Nobody cares in Utica. They don't care. You know, they're hardy,
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: those upstaters. I'm one of the upstaters.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: Rain, wind, who cares? Ten feet of snow, no big deal.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: You need to bring some of that down into the
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: city here and everybody's like, Throws a fit. I mean,
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: a little rain, a little wind.
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: Deal with it. Spotty power outage. Again, I'm not going outside.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: You're so laid back, Ray. Come see, come saw. Live
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: and let live. Hey, it could change tomorrow. Don't worry
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: about it. But he ain't going out. A little rain,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: a little wind. You pinned him down. Are you going
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: out this weekend?
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: No.
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: Because he doesn't want to get wet.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: That's the whole thing. He doesn't want to get wet.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: And he apparently doesn't have a house along the shoreline.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: If he had a house along the shoreline, this would
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: be a bigger deal. Yeah, because, I mean, the shore
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: communities are talking about pulling cars. I mean, they don't
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: want people to park, and they want to make sure.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Some of the parking garages are saying, here, you can
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: have free parking. Come put your car in our place.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: So they're taking this pretty seriously, unlike you.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: Well, that's not really how I want it to be painted.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: But I was like, well, the coastal areas, that's where
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: the greatest impacts will be. And I just feel like
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: they have enough. information and from living there that they
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: know what minor to moderate flooding during high tide. And
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: by the way, as a full moon too, that's not
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: going to help is going to bring, I think for
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: the majority of the population, right?
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: That's where I'm kind of aiming at the majority of
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: the population, meaning.
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: So yeah. Yeah.
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: We're just giving you a hard time.
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: We'll give you, but he's on his feet.
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: But tomorrow you pretty much you'll have this nailed.
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: Down, right?
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't expect any big changes. If there are,
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: trust me, I'll come in here screaming.
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: I'm looking right now at this. at the news.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: Wind gusts at 45 mile an hour, waves up to
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: 13 feet. Square 45.
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: Probably Long Island.
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: North Carolina.
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: See, once again, you start putting out false information.
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: Somebody just caught that like me and said, when's the
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: 45 mile per hour? I was teasing. And you could
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: have just left that if I didn't say where.
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: I was teasing about North Carolina. They did it. This
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: is a New York forecast for our area. I think
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: it's one of those up to things.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: You go by the most extremes on the TV news.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: But it's going to be something. We do know at
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: this point it's going to be something. And why don't
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: we talk again tomorrow, and we'll be kinder.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: Yep. Yeah. Absolutely.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: We're laughing now, but we might not be laughing Saturday.
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Right. Again, yeah.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: Again, impacts will be, I'd say somebody say rate it
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: on a scale of 1 to 10, like a 5.
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: A 5. Unless you level on the shoreline, it might
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: be higher.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: A shore, eastern Long Island. The winds will gust 50-plus. Montauk,
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: point out that way. You're going to get 50-mile-an-hour winds.
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: Oh, wow.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: We're ready.
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: All right, Ray.
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: I think we got it. I think we got it.
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: Thanks.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: We'll talk to you again tomorrow if you do come back.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Ray Stajic, meteorologist for WOR.
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: Thanks a lot.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Well, Taylor Swift has a brand new song out, and
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: we have it. And questions about Ella Langley's record-breaking song?
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: Questions. Curtis has a problem with it. Plus a chance
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: to see Kenny G at 825.
