A pilot just finished his journey around the world in a solarpowered plane. It is there. He landed in Silicon Valley about 3 00 this morning after a threeday flight across the pacific ocean. The aircraft started the journey in march of last year from abu dhabi, but the last leg of the because there were not many Emergency Landing sites for him. The plane also has no fuel. Solar cells on the wings are lit up there. It came in last night under the cover of darkness. Those cells convert energy from the sun to power the motors turning the propellers. Now i have ten more questions. Ill have to do some more research. I have 15. We know sun was important to the pilot, its important to us this weekend. Well get another treat tomorrow. Were looking at a Beautiful Day today. Then tomorrow it gets warmer, but we will see an increase in cloud cover. Today is your sunny day. Tomorrow is the warm day. Lets get it started now with a look at the Brooklyn Bridge as we take a live look outside. Its currently only in the 40s throughout the entire tristate and even a few upper 30s out there. Ill show that to you in just a second. You can see on the sky cam it is a sunny start. It will be a pleasant day from start to finish with all that sunshine. If you prefer the 70s, today is its not going to be breezy, so that sunshine should feel warm and pleasant. Increasing clouds on monday, but as i mentioned the temperatures get warmer. More rain arrives on tuesday. Could see a stray shower on monday. It looks like it will be dry for the most part on monday. 39 degrees in newburgh. 47 in central park. 46 in farmingdale. 36 in morristown. One of those nights where temperatures drop off more in the outlying suburbs than in town. An approaching storm system, you can see this is all rain, no snow, no ice. I think we finally have broken the back on winter and it will be springtime precipitation. So rain, maybe some thunderstorms heading through the next several days. This is the spring weather pattern for us.

This is going to be the focus for Severe Weather early during the work week. For us back here in the tristate, with that jet stream just kind of scooting along to the north and it doesnt have a whole lot of energy riding with it, we have both a fastmoving weather pattern, so quick hits of showers, quick clearing. Temperatures at or above our seasonal average for the most part. As i mentioned, we have those few chances for showers and thunderstorms. Not today. 65 degrees, plenty of sunshine. A few high clouds late in the day but nothing that will spoil your day. Southeast winds at 5 to 10 miles per hour. Tonight it will be mostly clear. We will see a few clouds filter in. Not quite as chilly as it is to start the day today with a low of 49. Heres the sevenday forecast. On monday, milder, 74. I think well keep it dry through the Daylight Hours but we could see a shower as early as dinner time. Tuesday, showers on and off all High Temperatures in the 60s for tuesday and wednesday.

Why did she turn around and say better get baquero . Lynda baquero investigated the fine print. Reporter for more than 20 years, Shannon Becker relied on service from at t. Back in february she decided to group her father, mother and brother into a family plan with new phones after hearing about an incentive. What they said is with the new iphone the promotion is you get a free tablet. And i said, okay, thats great. And theyre like well, no, not really. Basically theres going be a 10 a month line charge. Shannon was okay with that even though she didnt want a phone number attached to the tablets. We werent going to be using them as a phone. We thought it could be nice to use them as a wireless device. When she got her at t bill, she saw the 10 monthly charge and saw she had been assigned new phone lines to each of the discounted tablets, too. She called to cancel those lines. The bill basically showed me that the lines were under twoyear contract lines and that because i had terminated the lines there was an early termination fee for both of them totals 329. 06. Reporter shannon insists she and her family who live out of state were never told about agreeing to a twoyear contract when they picked up their tablets and phones. I had nothing no contract other than two pages of a receipt that i signed for the phone. The one statement they kept repeating is i signed the pen pad. Facing a charge of more than 300 for what she thought was a 99 cent offer, shannon turned to news 4 for help. Nobody said anything to us in four occasions, four different states, not one mention that these tablets were required to be connected on a twoyear contract. And i just find that frustrating. Well we asked at t to investigate and the tablets were offered as a special deal, customers pay 99 cents with a 10 monthly charge but there is a twoyear service agreement. After we reached out, though, shannon says the early at t tell us that Customer Service is their number one priority. We reached out to ms. Becker and the situation to her satisfaction. Serve her.
