I hope my wifes not watching now. I took a nap in the backyard. This is fantastic. Dogs looking at me, what is up with dad . And then nodded off too. Today not as pretty, more clouds. But still very mild. I mean, warm temperatures out there. One little caveat, just talking to young weather producer justin lewis, fog rolling in for parts of the island and white plains with a little bit of fog. So pockets of fog. Dew points just high enough for that. And in the city, clear and comfortable. A bit breezy, 9 to 17 Miles Per Hour. And southwest wind will keep us warm today. And mild for this time of day and year. 41 in morristown. See there, the cooler temperature. You will see the fog develop. 44 for the jersey shore. And mild up through the lakes over toronto and into michigan. 61 in detroit. And notice cooler air into the ohio valley. Mild down through baltimore and washington, d. C. As well. Theres a little bit of moisture aloft, likely wont hit the ground. If it does, just a little sprinkle activity. The front takes its time and pushes through tonight. And we will leave the chance of a shower north and west this afternoon and then into the city tonight. And not a of moisture. And the driving force going to be the wind out of the southwest so we have more winning warmth for the day today. And then here comes the front. What is potent is all the cold air pooling behind it so its back to the autumn feel tomorrow. And then staying cool into your saturday. And saturday, upper 50s. Thats it. But in many respect, really the better half for weekend activities. If you are going to do the last yard sale or have a game, saturday dry. Sunday theres a chance of a shower through midday.

Alex and mary thank you. The mayor and Police Commissioner agree, the man accused of killing nypd officer randolph holder should have been behind bar considering his long rap sheet. But some experts say the shooting is the result of policies that turned new york into gun city. Sure as hell shouldnt have been on the streets. There are people in our city, in our society that despite our best efforts, theyre criminals. And many of them are violent criminals. And we need to separate them from the rest of us. Reporter mayor de blasio and Police CommissionerWilliam Bratton charging that Tyrone Howard, the man accused of killing Police Officer randolph holder was a career criminal who was arrested last fall on drug charges and freed from jail as part of a diversion program. They said freeing him was wrong. He would have been the last person in new york city i would have wanted to see in the diversion program. Reporter but a spokesman for the manhattan judge who freed howard said the mayor and Police Commissioner are pointing fingers in the wrong direction. It is very easy to look back unfairly cast blame and second guess without all the facts, trying to blame the system said a spokesman for the office of court administration. But in reality, you should blame the person who pulled the trigger that tragically killed the Police Officer. Criminal justice experts say a combination of factors contributed to holder becoming the fourth cop to be killed in the past 10 months. One is the reduction of stop question and frisk. They feel more encouraged and em bodenned to carry weapons on the street. Emboldened to carry weapons on the street. Reporter a former cop and former fbi agent also says that de blasio running for mayor an an anticop platform contributed as well. The street is, the administration is basically saying that they are not going to go after us the way they used to. A Court Spokesman points out even without the diversion program, howard would have been on the streets because he was able to make the 35,000 bail.
