Let's bring in storm watch team Scott sink off and see what the rest of the week is going to look like. It's been a dreary gray Saturday throughout the city. And we are gonna be seeing more of that moisture move in just gonna be a a sweatpants Sunday, so to speak tomorrow. What are we looking at? Temperature is gonna be in the upper forties to around 50. The rain will be moving in by midnight, foggy conditions. Yeah, that's gonna continue. There is a dense fog advisory out on Long Island and in the water. So definitely just take it slow, reduce your speed, leave plenty of following distance between you and other vehicles. If you're gonna be driving throughout the five boroughs, not gonna see really any chances of major flooding, but ponding in the normal spots, of course, in the cars and with the fog, just gotta be careful because that notorious fog plus all that rain gonna be steady, especially midday into the afternoon. That's when we're gonna see more than a half inch of rain throughout the five boroughs. So we are gonna be just seeing this dreary weather throughout the day tomorrow. So what are we looking at? Clouds, fog, continue across the city, gonna be seeing that rain shower activity moving after midnight and then by the time the sun rises, that's when the rain's gonna get steadier and heavier from the morning to midday. That's when we could see the heaviest rain areas of ponding maybe some minor flooding down towards the south shore with that fog. So definitely take it slow because the rain will be with us through the early afternoon. That's when things are gonna start to wind down as we are gonna be seeing some lingering showers towards the evening on Sunday. Even. It's the overnight. But that is when we're gonna see those clearing skies into Monday morning. The fog though. Yeah, nothing we can do about it. It's gonna be lingering here and there. Fifties on your Sunday, cloudy dreary as that black kind of day as we are gonna see drier breezier conditions on your Monday and then cool down Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. That's your hyper local forecast.

Well, kids across the borough will soon be heading to summer camp. But for those who are visually impaired, well, that can be a challenge. Well, Denis is in Sheepshead Bay to tell us about a brand new day camp. Hoping to change just that 12 year old Yolanda might not be able to see but her voice stunned the crowd today outside Kings Bay, Yi Yolanda lost her vision as a baby. She says, mingling with people can sometimes get a little annoying whenever I don't need help. People assume that I need it and they just do stuff that I I'm capable of doing it by myself. But for two weeks this summer, she won't have to deal with any of that because she's attending Brooklyn's very first summer camp for visually impaired Children. For two weeks, 25 kids will participate in all types of activities that make summer camp. Well, summer camp, we're going to have some bruised knees, a little bit of dirt or maybe a little sunburn, but a lot, a lot of fun. The program is free for this first year. And organizers say their goal is simply for the kids to make new friends and build last day memories. They happen to be blind, but they're kids, they need to have the same experiences. They need to have the same activities. Irina has worked with visually impaired kids and adults for more than three decades. She's working with a team of specialists and volunteers to adapt every aspect of the summer camp experience and make sure that everyday challenges don't ruin the fun on a bus, not thinking how high you need to bring the get into the pool, not knowing what's there. As for Yolanda, she tells me she's looking forward to finally learning how to swim is open to visually impaired kids from 7 to 14 years old and they still have a few spots open. So we'll link all of their information on our website at news 12 dot com in chief's head Shakti Dennis.
