At the race theyre going, this survey says its going to take at least 50 years to fix them. Well tell you where the shabbiest lines are. This morning were going to talk about yesterdays lirr mess, we also have damon wayans. We have the impractical jokers, and annas going to be doing something with crazy ice cream that nobody understands, but well figure it out very popular. Apparently, they have long lines. I think its down in your neck of the woods actually. Oh, is it . Yes. Mott street. Is that by you . Close enough. Its ice cream. Youve got to take a walk, so that way you deserve it. Burn off the calories. Exactly. You know what you said about, hey, listen, the cold weathers going to be back soon . Somebody said i had a post that said im sorry for the things i said about winter. Everybody gets tired after a while, most folks get tired of it. Looks like its starting to wear thin im enjoying it. Except for mr. Happy. Yeah, mr. Personality, mr. Happy, hes excited. I love it. Seriously, though, we know how quick the season changes. I know. It is that time of year where the days are getting shorter, temps start coming down. Every day that weve had so far in the month of september has been at 90 plus. Oh, yeah, thats been two. Anyhow, were going to keep it that way for one more day, and then well start to see a backdown in temperatures. The other thing that goes along with these high temps and takes a hit. If youve got a problem like emphysema or asthma, these days can be difficult, and we have this air quality alert in effect for most of the tristate region starting at 11 00 this morning evening. You want to take it easy on a day like today. Make sure you take it easy, especially if you have one of those issues. Look at that fog, it popped back up in islip, down to oneitth of a mile. Elsewhere doesnt look so bad, monticello down to one and threequarters of a mile. The temps are the same general range as yesterday, 60 in sussex, 66 in allentown and 61 in monticello with a mainly clear sky. If you dont have the fog, youve got plenty of sun coming at you here today, and thats what were going to keep for a while. Back door cold front will change things up later on, but that means a better chance of showers trying to pop through here, but not until late tonight, and i think most of us have to get away without having to deal with rainfall. After the patchy morning fog we do have especially in the long island area, well head up to 86 by lunchtime and a high temp of 92 later on, back to 89 for the ride home. Shower chances not really a problem during the day. But late tonight into tomorrow morning, thats when you could see a few showers. Again, i dont think theres going to be a lot of it. Down. High of 82 tomorrow, same thing on saturday. All right. Now theres get you over to ines quieter side. Right now we do have an incident on the bqe approaching the lie, that eastbound. Theres a stall blocking a lane. If youre taking the long island expresswayway, normal drays towards queens delays towards queens boulevard. No problems on the parkway or the turnpike. Lets go to our cameras, the Staten Island expressway, we have problems here. The construction has been such an an issue the last couple of weeks. Doing fine on the eastbound side, but westbound traffic moving slow because of road work, so off the verrazano bridge expect delays. As for the trains, doing great this morning. No problems with metro north, Long Island Railroad, new Jersey Transit or the path trains. Thank you, ines. Theres a new case of legionnaires disease in the south bronx. Health Officials Say the Melrose Houses tested positive for legionella bacteria. Fox 5s robert moses has the details, he is in the bronx with the story. Good morning. Good morning to you. Residents tell me the hot water remains off this morning, so a whole lot of people are taking cold showers. And that is because the hot water Distribution System here in this building tested positive for the legionella bacteria. Once again anxieties are running high in the south bronx. Beginning today the new York City Housing Authority is expected to install water filters that eliminate the legionella bacteria in every apartment at 681 cortland avenue in the Melrose Houses. The hot water Distribution System in that building tested positive for the bacteria. The health d. Says the hot water will be turned back on once the filters are installed. Two other buildings tested negative. Results at five other buildings in the complex are pending. According to the citys Health Commissioner, there has been four cases of legionnaires disease in the Melrose Houses this the last since months. Only one person is still hospitalized. Those who live in the building that tested positive wonder why are they just finding out about these cases now . They already had an inkling something was going on. Why didnt they let us know . Why wait til the last minute to tell us that its here . So everybodys panicking. We just find out today, and its a shame. Got me scared, because im up in age. Im 77 years old. Not long ago the city delareed the legionnaires outbreak vanquished, but then came this news in the Melrose Houses and word that an all girls school on the Upper East Side tested positive for the legionella bacteria a, and once again the city is up easy. More than 120 people got sick in this summers outbreak, 12 people died. And it does not appear that the small cluster of cases here in the Melrose Houses is at all related to that earlier outbreak that swept across the city this summer. The Health Department says that the cold water many this building is safe, and those ive spoken to this morning tell me those filters will begin to be installed today and, hopefully, once that happens the hot water comes back. That is the latest live from the melrose section of the bronx this morning, ben and teresa, back to you. Lets hope. Robert moses, thank you very much. 7 07, firefighters are are battling a blaze that has spread to several homes in the kensington section of brooklyn. Mike weinstein, whats going on .

At least one parent says upper classmen targeted freshmen by shooting them with bb or air pellet guns, hitting them with broom sticks, drawing lewd pictures on them with magic marker and remembering their rear ends, rather, in the faces of the players while they were sleeping. However, many players and parents say theyre being unfairly targeted. Its really disheartening in a way because of all the work weve put in. I just dont think a whole team should be punished for something that these few individuals did do. A special investor is now investigating. The nypd is claiming this has been the citys safest summer in decades. From june through august the number of murders and shootings were at the lowest level since the early 90s.

The nypd is going to have a massive security plan in place from officers on the ground to the secret service who will be in charge. A former secret Service Agent who was assigned to president obamas protection detail says the pope will get the same take a listen. Theres simply no way to secure someone with the threat footprint the pope carries with him with a discreet profile that he likes to carry around. After central park pope francis will celebrate mass at Madison Square garden, and this is the chair his holiness will sit in. Cardinal dolan unveiling it yesterday.

All seven buildings that use the jfk High School Campus in marvel hill will be open for the first day of school. The building was damaged by a gas explosion last month that injured three workers updating the science lab at the time of the blast. The building is structural sound and air quality poses no risk to students and staff. The Citizens Budget Commission says it wont be until 2067 before the entire subway system is fixed. It found that 25 of all infrastructure like stairs and platforms and columns are in major disrepair and that doesnt even include the actual tracks and the signals. Most of the worst stations happen to be in queens along the n and the q lines. The story line and the flushing line which runs the 7 train. The commission is recommending that the mta focus on repairs, but the hta says mta says it needs to expand. 7 13 now. The Empire State Building has refused to go gold for Childhood Cancer. Many parents and organizations have pleaded with officials to light up for one night in honor of september being Childhood Cancer awareness month, but the famous landmark is standing its ground despite being slammed for not going gold last year. The building says it cannot light up for all organizations and says in the past the skyscraper has lit up for world cancer day, Breast Cancer research. This is something that has a lot of people upset, we light it up for the super bowl when the yankees win, every sports team, but for childhood chance children. And those parents very passionate about the issue. All right, lets turn our attention back to the weather, a much lighter topic here. A pretty nice week steamy. I am starting to notice more and more of the complaints on the heat and humidity. Oh, really . Yeah. Any from Ben Simmoneau at all . Not one. Not at all. How many, you you are gloating. I have two work days. He made a bet that he will not complain they say i complain too much about the cold weather. I want to talk to your wife and see if youre complaining at home and not doing it here. Shes probably mad at us because he takes it autoon her. No. Thats not true. Im just an affable, likable individual. [laughter] happy, happy. Anyway, just do the weather. All right. 35 degrees, thats your temp, central park. Same thing, newark, 66 in allentown, 6 of in poughkeepsie and dewpoints are again pretty high. 64 in central park, 70 in islip and montauk, even worse as you head out to the east, surrounded by the water it does tend to hold that moisture up a little bit more. Lets check out the wellness forecast. Allergies, its mainly the molds and the rag weds, so keep that in mind. Uv index is up to 7, and unhealthy levels of ozone across the majority of the tristate. We do have an air quality alert, so a lot of times people want to talk about allergies and breathing issues in the beginning of the warmer season, now were heading toward the end, and we still have issues. And ragwield is one of the more ragweed is one of the more problematic culprits out there. Anyhow, lots of sunshine coming to you, but a back door cold front will come in and change things up, bringing in more cloud cover by tonight. Look how much rain comes out on the computer models, not too much at all, just a few spritzes of rain here and there is all we should get out of it. The main thing that were going to see is High Pressure building in with much cooler high temperatures. Hey, if you happen to be heading out to the open today, high temp up to 92 for the afternoon session, the day session. The night session still going to be on the warm and sticky side, maybe an isolated shower out there, but i dont think theres going to be too big of a problem in the city or near the stadium. Anyhow, a high of 29 tomorrow 92 today, 82 tomorrow. Fantastic for labor day weekend, and the humidity takes a short break. Lets bring in ines rosales and see if were catching a break on the roads a and rails. Not as big problems as we had yesterday and the day before with the Long Island Railroad, the day before it was the bruckner. Trach a look this morning take ooh look there, lets go to our cameras, take a look at the cross bronx, normal delays westbound heading towards jerome avenue. On the eastbound side youre final as for the George Washington bridge, upper level its about a 10 minute delay, not bad, mostly from 80 95 express. Mike did say its hot out there, about 30 minutes inbounds, the holland tunnel, a 15 minute delay. Does look quite hazy. All right, ines, thank you very much. Yeah. Its going to be warm, but i say embrace every minute, because we know in about five weeks im going to be out there bundled up complaining about the cold. Look at that, sky fox hd looking at the Empire State Building. Tough to see new jersey. Yeah, but listen, as long as you get a little bit of a breeze going, youll be just fine, especially if youre going to the open today. Especially. Right. Plenty of beverages as well. And just try to move from one side of the stadium to the next. Try to stay away from the sun. Lets take a break. Good day is back in two minutes. We thought we d be ready. But demand for our cocktail bitters was huge. I could feel our deadlines racing towards us. We didn t need a loan. We needed shortterm funding. Fast. Our amex helped us fill the orders.
