  Speaker 1: This is a podcast from wo R New York.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Wakes Up with Curtis sliwah hen Larry MENTI wor.
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: Well, let's get the latest on the weather from Ray Stagic.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: You just heard from them a moment ago. But we
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: want to get an extended forecast and talk about some specifics,
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: especially about how much rain we got and how much
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: rain we're going to get over the next couple of days.
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: So race stage you can hear WOOR Weather Channel meteorologist Ray.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: You know, I want to get the rain totals. That's
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: one of the big things, because I know that they
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: were enormous in some areas. But as I'm looking I
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: just heard your forecast, and I'm looking ahead on the
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: forecast that you send, and I see showers over the
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: next several days. Are we talking about flooding now?
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: Depends on where you are. I think today will be
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: the last of the flood risk, and most of that
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: now is out into Suffolk County. It's Fairfield County, Connecticut.
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: And as you go up the Hudson Valley, still warning
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: in Putnam County, there's a flash flood warning that's going
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: to be an effector this morning. They've extended it's also
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: for northern Westchester County, and then in Long Island or
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: on Long Island, we've got Suffolk County a flood advisory
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: till six forty five where there's some heavy rain, and
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: even into Fairfield County, Connecticut flood warning also into southwestern
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: New Haven County as well as southern Fairfield County. So
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: I do think the flood threat is going to be
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: east and north and should start tapering off today and
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: then we get into tomorrow the more scattered stuff, and
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: then Friday maybe some dryer air trying to get back
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: in here. But some of the totals, as you were mentioning, Larry,
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: were excessive, and as we said yesterday, you know, war widespread,
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: but still didn't mean everybody was going to get flooding.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: And right around the Five Boroughs and western Nassau County
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: we saw I'm going to say, only between about a
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: half and three quarters of an inch, But you got
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: into North Jersey around Patterson almost four inches of rain,
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: four point six five in Hacketts Town four point one
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: four Lebanon. So there was this pocket in North Jersey
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: around Precipitone and back on off and toward the north
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: and west of that and out near places like you know,
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: let's say Stuartsville where there's three four point sixty five inches,
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: where we had three to four inches of very heavy
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: rainfall and some leftover flooding there. And also as you
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: went north, some very heavy rain almost five inches at
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: cold Spring five point two eight up further north of that,
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: up near the Shokan Reservoir. But it kind of got
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: the picture where it rained and we got most of
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: the rainfall. It rained hard and very hard, and we
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: have some big time problems with flooding. But a lot
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: of that's going well north up near the Capitol District
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: now and out into eastern Long Island and especially into
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: parts of New England. As we head on through today, we'll.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: See now ray again this is taking on the same
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: phenomenon we've never really had before. You get drenched, I mean,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: it comes down in buckets throughout northern New Jersey, hits
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: your real hard, and then all of a sudden you
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: think a rainbow is going to appear and it's peace,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: love and happiness. Oh no, it's not too bad, and
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: then all of a sudden an hour later, boom again.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: I don't ever remember rain coming down like that before,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: where it hits you once real hard, it dissipates, the
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: sun comes out a little bit, and then all of
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: a sudden comes back for like a second bite.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I when you get in the summertime, these areas
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: of low pressure, you don't see that a lot, meaning
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: an organized area of low pressure, but you can see
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: it this morning. And what that does the rotation around you.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: You kind of get these rounds of rain and thunderstorms,
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: and the intensity, as you'd mentioned, seems to have been
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: greater over the past. You know, let's say X amount
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: of time for the month July, I think New York
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: City's had I think it's twelve on mornings issued and
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: I think that's a record for any month, for at
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: least New York City. So the stats something like that.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: I kind of heard it was looking researching it this
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: morning and passing either way. We've had an exceptional number
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: of flash flood warnings around the city and you know,
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: a larger number than we've had in the past of
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: flood events. Now what that leads to is, you know,
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: will we have more in the future. I think that's
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: the big question, and maybe something that you're trying to
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: get at Yeah.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: I'm not even talking about isolated flooding. I'm talking about
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: and I know you mentioned the areas that normally flood
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: and of course that's what we're all talking about. But
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: I mean I'm talking about like river flooding. Passaic is
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: that is the Passaic River for instance, is that threatened
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: with this flooding over the next couple of days because
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: of the rain we've already had.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, parts of the Passaic may become a little bit
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: more swollen than it are right now. Right now they're
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: looking at maybe some minor flooding. So over the next
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: couple of days, it's not getting get any worse. As
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: I said, the edge of the rainfall, the heaviest is
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: now east of that and going as i'd said, north
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: northeast of the city and out into New England.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Well, Ray, I want to tell you I'm doing my part.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: In New York City, there was a great Greek philosopher
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: called Diogenes. He would roam the streets of Athens with
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: a lantern and he would go up to people and say,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: I'm looking for one, honest man. Never did find one.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: I've walked out with my trustee stickball bat and I
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: go to the catch basins the sewers, and if the
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: stickball bat does not go down to the grate because
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: of all the silt that's built up, all the flotsam
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: and jetsam, I call the sewer department, you know, the
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: old ed Norton guy who never answers the phone any
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: longer because you just get put on hold. And I
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: keep reporting them because if they don't clean out the
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: catch basins, and now I'm proving that, Hey, if a
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: stickball bat can't go down the sewer grating, then that's
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: backed up. So any accumulation more than an inn, which
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: it's going to back up, and it's going to start
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: flooding into the nearby sidewalks and eventually go down into
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: the basements and.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Cause all kinds of chaos.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: So there aren't some answers that a lot of municipalities
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: and counties can take. But I just don't see efforts
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: any long going to clean out those catch basins.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that's a big problem. And the problem
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: too with a lot of the apartments actually below street
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: level too, So I don't you can't solve that one, right,
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: So you got two problems that either could be solved
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: in one that can't be solved. So we hope that
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: we stay away from some of these heavier rain events.
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: We may get back into a little bit wetter weather patterns.
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: I look ahead late the weekend early next week, is
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: it going to be as heavy a rain as this
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: that we're seeing right now? A little too early to say,
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: but I think after a beautiful Friday, Saturday and probably
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: most of Sunday, we could see the showers and thunderstorm's
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: return next week.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: That was good.
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: I just you know what you should say speaking of philosophers,
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: right what? I don't know?
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: I thought to what Curtis was saying.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: Yesterday I saw a sewer like a geyser popping.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: The water was coming.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Up, I mean into the air from the sewer, probably
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: because it couldn't go down.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: To go somewhere somewhere.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: And there's times, too, whether it's clean bit catch basins
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: or not, that the rain comes down so hard that
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: the drainage just can't keep up.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: So we do, and we have had.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: Events like that too, So you know, it's not always
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: that things by the municipalities aren't getting a proper attention.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: Sometimes it just rains too damn hard.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: Now, let me ask him one question about about the
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: next couple of days, because there was something interesting he
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: said to you, and that was he was concerned about
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: the the events next week. But as I'm looking at
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: at your forecast, rain today, rain, tonight, rain, Thursday, all
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: possible rain again on Sunday, but you seem to be
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: fairly confident. Well, it says chance of showers on Sunday.
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: No, Well, when you say rain, I think the perspective
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: is it's basically going to rain all day, so what
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: it you know, it says showers, but it's going to
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: be scattered stuff.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: So okay, so you're not concerned. So when it starts
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: raining over the next couple of days, you're not concerned
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: at all. That not until next week.
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: No, any concern would be most likely today in probably
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: first half of the day, and then it's just scattered stuff,
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: you know, more typical thunderstorms, widely scattered, same day tomorrow,
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: and then even on Sunday just a few showers. I
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: think you end up, especially Thursday and Sunday, the next
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: other chances of rain, with more hours of dry weather
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: at any one given point than we will wet. And
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: then early next week maybe the coverage gets a little
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: bit better. Ready to get out there and talk about
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: intensity yet, but it may be a couple of days
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: of on again, off again thunderstorms and rain showers.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Got it well dealing with both. You guys know your
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: weather wonks. Larry was the weather guy over in San Diego.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: You were matching credentials yesterday. I didn't understand what the
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: hell you guys were talking about. So I get a
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: little tension here, But I want to bring you back
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: to a ute. This is something that everybody can identify with.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: There were two things. If it didn't rain, you said,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: we got to get Native Indians to do a rain dance.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: And then if it rained too much. Don't you remember
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: we kids? I remember in kindergarten, rain, rain, go away,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Come again another day. Little Curtis wants to play. Come
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: again another day, Sun's son out. You stay warm us
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: up for all the day. Don't you remember that nursery rhyme?
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: I do thetis.
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: As far back as you.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Oh, another shot.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: You took a shot at Larry yesterday, and now you're
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: taking a shot at there.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: I like to extended.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: Listen.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: I'm not a meteorologist.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: I was not trying to match credentials with you, by.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: No, not at all.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: You know me matching credentials with you. I used to
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: know Tim Flannery who was a baseball player. And he
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: got up and he got his first hit, and he
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: gets to first base and Pete Rose is at first
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: base and he looks at him and he goes. He said,
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: Joe says, who the hell are you? And he said,
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: I'm the guy that's going to break all your records.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: And he said, you won't get enough at that's to
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: break my records. That's how I feel. You were at
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: first base and I just got the first base.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: His Sonny Albany credentials.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: Did you hear him yesterday laboring away about barometers?
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: That was five years? Five? Really?
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: Did he fail?
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: His fourth year is about to happen?
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Ray?
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: There were reasons why we were there longer than we
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: needed to be.
• 10:59
