earlier across portions of new york city, the downpour we just experienced, have pushed northeastward and moving from great neck to bayville. that's where you can expect to find quite a bit of rain right now. if we shift farther to the east, we will see that we have more showers and storms moving across parts of new jersey, some downpours from clifton through west orange as well as towards summit. those extends towards philadelphia where they're seeing the heavier storms coming in across the area. we'll see all this line or this mainline move eastward. we expect another round to pass through new york city as well as across long island. it appears that westchester is lightening up with the rain and the heaviest rainfall has moved towards parts of connecticut, most likely fairfield county. if you'll be riding around 95 in the next hour or so, that's where you'll find the wet weather. areas like the jersey turnpike towards the garden state parkway, some problematic areas with wet roadways and down pours. we're seeing temperatures take a drop into the 60s north and west. it will feel drier as we go into our saturday. the winds are blustery. they're coming between 10 to 15 miles

nice and dry for your saturday. temperatures coming down a little bit and the winds will pick up. it will feel breezy and cool in the shade. sunday, beautiful, sunny skies and temperatures will be

past. on april 25th, after 42 seasons, the islanders played their final game in the building, abandoning the arena and distancing themselves from a rabid fan base for hip urban digs and millions of new fans. depending on how brooklyn reacted. 4-1/2 hours before puck drop, the hockey polls of this woman isn't a fair representation. >> not a hockey fan. i'm pumped there's hockey at the barclays.

good evening to you. you can see the green fencing behind me here right in front of the house on 13th avenue and borough park. you know 13 people were injured in this blast and two were actually killed. now investigators are digging deeper into the lives of both of those victims and wondering whether or not this fire was an accident or intentionally set. last saturday's building explosion in borough park could have been an act of suicide. one of the victims, francis ka figueroa may have been used chemicals to ignite the blast. figueroa was reportedly distraught over being evicted from her apartment and left behind disturbing notes. the nypd would not confirm the information, but it's one of the many leads investigators are pursuing. >> they're all avenues to explore. >> reporter: could hair salon chemicals have that kind of damage? >> i'm not sure what they have in hair salons. i know in nail salons, they use acetone and flammable liquids. and they're very volatile. so -- >> reporter: it could have? >> could be. >> reporter: outside of figueroa's salon, there is a growing memorial, flowers and candles. clients and friends are struggling with the loss. >> i was just now on

twitter users and came up with some surprising results. >> in terms of topics, the lower and higher income discuss they talk about politics and lower income swear more or they talk about themselves or about activities. >> reporter: analysts studied 10 million tweets. among the interesting finding, twitter users that express fear or anger tended to have higher incomes. those that use profanity had lower incomes. people that use profanity tend to be lower income. would you agree with that? >> i don't think so. because i feel like profanity is -- it's a way to express. >> i would say how. if you have a higher income, your business happens a lot via social media. you're not trying to put out profanities. >> reporter: they also have more followers. if you tweet about religion, you apparently make less. >> i don't agree with that. i talk about religion a lot. >> reporter: researchers believe your habits will be analyzed by employers and healthcare insurers. before you tweet, think a lot.

more for it. >> i read you're not supposed to ask that. >> you read that? you studied for prison? >> the raise in rates will offset some of the costs the company spends on original programming like

are improving technology, looking to capitalize on cord cutters. >> they're bringing in apps, games, apple tv. you're seeing that with google, the chrome cast. all of the boxes are doing something. >> reporter: in the end, whether you cut the cord or subscribe to alternative sources, cable companies always seem to come out on top. >> because they provide internet access. they're still doing that,

hills star yolanda foster suffers from lyme disease. last night at the gala in the announcement. two of her children are also battling the disease. christina: joining us is dr. kerri peterson. thanks for being here. steve: you don't think of it running in the family or having multiple generations having it. >> it's not genetic. it's transmitted through a tick bite, only from ticks to human. it's caused by a bacteria and symptoms early on are flu-like symptoms and a rash that looks like a bullseye. you don't always get the rash. important to know. as time goes on, symptoms can cause cardiac problems, neurologic problems and over months, it can cause arthritis. yolanda, who received the power of one award, has been raising awareness for people who have chronic lyme disease. disease syndrome. after you've been treated with people, some people go on to have a syndrome where they experience headaches, severe debilitating fatigue and cognitive cognitive dysfunction. christina: she spent about a year looking for why she was feeling the way she was feeling. time. apparently she was diagnosed disease. if you're diagnosed later on, it's more difficult to treat. steve: the sooner you get to it, the better. it can be difficult to pinpoint. christina: is it a simple test if you suspect you might have it of ticks? can you get tested? >> you can. once you have been exposed, it convert. a blood test will show it. christina: let's talk about elephants and cancer. elephants live a long time. even dogs get cancer. elephants have a low rate of getting cancer. how is that? >> which is kind of surprising. the reason being that as we grow cells divide and multiply, every time it does is an opportunity for a mistake to cure which cancer. here are these large animals that live a long time. you would expect they'd have a high rate of cancer. they have one of the lowest rates at 4.8 percent. humans have 11 to 25 percent likelihood of developing cancer. the question is why? well, scientists found they had 20 times more copies of a gene called tp-53. it is known as the sort of guardian of the genome. it finds genetic mistakes, attacks them and kills them, preventing cancer. because elephants have such a large number of these copies, they have resistance to developing cancer. very interesting. steve: that could have all sorts of hopeful -- christina: how could it help human beings? >> down the road the hope is we can create a drug that mimicks tp-53 or we can insert the gene into precancerous cells. christina: that would be amazing. steve: that could be the break through. that's probably a little off. but encouraging. doctor, we appreciate it. thank you very much. >> let's talk about the weather now. christina: storms. steve: some wet weather. >> some downpours are coming through new york city. we had the first round and there was a break for a short amount of time and now another round is working its way across the tri-state area, specifically right into new york city. let's zoom in on a few locations. the line is defined from new england to new jersey into philadelphia at the moment. if we go into a little bit here, we'll see we have the heaviest downpours along the north shore of long island, over towards glenn cove. this is where i'm finding downpours. it's going to be a rough ride over the next 30 to 60 minutes. this is moving eastward. i anticipate more problems further into the commute. let's move further westward. we have heavy rainfall moving into great neck. that moves into new york city where we're getting major downpours from battery park city towards the bronx. that extends over the river into fort lee and along the hudson river area around hoboken and union city, edgewater. you're seeing heavy rain and lightning strikes. if we move further south, across the turnpike and towards the garden state parkway, we're seeing heavy rainfall. it will be a rough commute home along the turnpike from linden to perth amboy and new brunswick. this will last 30 to 60 minutes as things are racing to the east. as we look farther to the west, we have another cell moving across central parts of new jersey. that will be heading eastward and affecting areas like atlantic highlands, red bank, probably in another 30 to 60 minutes or so. severe thunderstorm watch continues for the area until 8:00 tonight. for anything to be sparking up, a lot of the severe storms are further to the southwest like around philadelphia. i would watch more likely in areas south of 195 or across central and southern portions of new jersey. that's where we'll see the highest risks of severe thunderstorms popping up. temperatures are dropping as the rain moves through. we're in the 60s in central park as well as across long island. 70 in bridgeport, but 61 up to monticello and 65 into sussex. winds are gusty with the passage of the front. we're seeing gusts up to 25 miles an hour or higher across the area. those will be diminishing through the overnight. as we move towards the northeast, we can see the line is racing to the east. we have cloudy skies to our west. we'll see clearing through the overnight. this patch of dry weather moving into the great lakes, that's going to be our weather as we go into the weekend. we'll see a drop in temperatures as our highs will be in the 60s with the dip coming in across the ohio valley. the front pushes to the east. after 8:00, we should see everything clearing out from west to east. tomorrow, plenty of sunshine for your saturday. it will feel cooler, too, with drier air in place. a slight drop in temperatures there. same thing for sunday. breezy but sunny and nice with temperatures rising into the tonight, the showers and storms that are moving through will be passing to the east. we'll have clearing skies overnight. temperatures will drop into the 40s behind the front north and west of the city. sunshine. it will be breezy and cooler. temperatures just a little cooler, but more average for this time of year. same thing for sunday with plenty of sunshine. it will be breezy with a high of 69. next week, temperatures rise back into the 70s for monday for a nice start to the week. on tuesday, we'll see our next system coming through. this will increase our clouds during the day on tuesday. i think so far, the rain will hold off until thursday -- excuse me -- tuesday afternoon into the evening. and once it pushes through, temperatures drop back into the mid 60s for highs for wednesday and thursday. we're going to see a big drop in numbers next weekend. we're going for highs in the low 60s friday. lows could be in the 30s by saturday and sunday north and west of the city. steve: yikes. wow. all right. we knew that was coming eventually.
