Heading outside this morning not as humid as weve been experiencing this week, vanessa is here with a look at our forecast. Better hair day today, it is going to be a good start to your weekend but the second half we have some wet weather likely going to impact your plans. So lets take you live outside, show you whats happening here, things are looking pretty good to the east, we have more clouds this morning, maybe a few showers east of the city today as well, it is partly cloudy and 70, north winds at 10 miles per hour. As we look at your weather headlines, today is the better half, so i suggest keeping the plans today and maybe just making some adjustments tomorrow. Showers are in tomorrows forecast, it will not be a wash out but nonetheless, not a perfect end to your weekend. Today is comfortable tomorrow youll notice the humidity climbing back then it is humid again on monday. But it doesnt last long. Midweek next week the forecast is lovely. Lets take a look at the temperature trend here, what weve got going on yesterday was 87 degrees in the city, that sun just really heated us up tomorrow 86 tomorrow, 86. Do you know were going on our 44th straight day of temperatures at or above 80 and two days ago we set a record for the longest stretch at 80 or above and that trend will continue for the next seven days or so. Some excitement i hope youre excited. Whats happening, there is this disturbance that has some potential of becoming tropical. But over the next day, whats going to happen tomorrow is the front that brought us yesterdays wet weather is actually going to start easing its way back as this system kind of forces it assure. Showers and tomorrows forecast systems combined. You can still see that front bring wet weather to places like cape cod, for us today, few showers possible on the east end of long island certainly more clouds, but for most of us, it is going to be a day with mostly sunny skies look at all this dry air in the city and points west, big area of High Pressure tryingto win out, doesnt happen today, doesnt happen tomorrow for sure and then as we make our way into tuesday is when this High Pressure system finally takes hold and we get that dry, comfortable air mass here to stay for quite some time. Today, looking very pleasant for points west north and south, but way out on the east end of long island more clouds will be impacting the forecast maybe a shower. Today, though, over all i think looks great over night tonight the clouds thicken for all of us well see a few showers getting tossed back in our direction as that system does what we call retro grading moves to the west, and then as we go through the day tomorrow showers become more and more likely as we get into the afternoon for your beach forecast, slight risk of showers thats well out on the twin forks of long island. 84 degrees, better bet for wet weather tomorrow, today the better beach day Ocean Temperatures in the 70s, rip current risk today is moderate. Today looking good lovely very pleasant tomorrow chance of rain will be in the upper 70s and low 80s in the mountains. Your extended forecast here it is 86, mostly sunny skies for most of us, more clouds east of the city, a slight chance for showers. For tomorrows 84 degrees, were going to call for partly sunny skies, passing showers, getting more muggy. On monday it is muggy, 86 degrees with showers and storms possible early tuesday wednesday thursday friday, thats that High Pressure system i was talking about it finally is here to stay for some time, ill have temperatures in the low and mid80s and it will feel oh, so pleasant out there with low humidity. I am loving the sound of this forecast. I know, it really is looking good. Thanks vanessa. It was a rough outing for john gray and mets slugger, didnt make it any better. The left fielder drives one deep for the grand slam home run in the fourth, hits a solo home run putting them up 84. In the sixth earns his first career three home run game, mets win. And here is steve with the rest of your sports update. All right the jets are okay at every position except one, the most important one. The real question that needs answered is can they win with ryan fitzpatrick, he got a lot more reps with the first team last night against the atlanta was accurate. 13 for 19, 118 yards, no downfield throws, no touch downs. But also no interceptions, if they are looking for a game manager who knows this offense, he fits. This might end up being a running back by committee, there is no question who is the lead guy, chris ivory has some speed. He beats the db for a 33yard touch down. But the preseason is really about identifying talent, and they have a potential star in rookie, Leonard Williams, finishes with a safety, two sacks, three tackles behind the line of scrimmage but dont buy that number 62 jersey, he says he is going to change his number once they break camp. Jets win 3022. All right the yankees no longer have a strangle hold on the east. They need every win they can get, especially against the seller teams like the Cleveland Indians. Tie game in the fifth, this should have been the inning ending drownout, he boots it. Run come run comes in to score. And Carlos Santana with a solo shot, he allows four runs, three earned over 6 innings the yankees actually cut the lead to one but Justin Williams couldnt keep it close. He allows three runs in the top of the ninth alone. Jerry sands with a double, 73, that was the final. For cbs 2 sports. Taste of the day is going to be with white corn. I did a tip on corn a couple months ago, this is corn time. This is when it peaks. This white corn is so fresh you could eat it raw. You can smell the freshness of the corn, you have to look for the white, all the colonels, plum and pack together, it has to feel nice and fresh with that crispy sound. Store them in the refrigerator right away, dont hold them for too long even though this is super sweet which means it takes about 6 to 7 days for that sugar to turn to starch. Enjoy it when you buy it. Summertime, august, the best time for corn. Dont took it too much. If you took it too much youll deplete the flavor and nutritional value. Always remember to eat fresh and stay healthy, august is corn time. Brought to you by sally sherman. Watch golf right here on cbs 2 today dont miss the third round of the championship.

Make low prices happen, make 110 ready happen. Staples, make more happen. What do a nascar driver. A comedian. And a professional golfer have in common . We talked to our doctors about treatment with xarelto. Xarelto is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. Xarelto has also been proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. For people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. I tried warfarin before, but the blood testing routine and dietary restrictions had me off my game. Not this time. Not with xarelto. Ill have another arnold palmer. Make mine a kevin nealon. Really, brian . Hey, safety first. Like all blood thinners, dont stop taking xarelto without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. While taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. Ge
