Heavy rain; Isolated flash flooding possible Saturday
Our storm system looks to be tracking a bit further inland, bringing some of the higher rainfall totals to our region, and increasing our risk for flash flooding.
Although most of our larger waterways look to remain within their banks (Otter Creek is the only spot expected to enter 'Action Stage') but sharp rises on smaller streams and creeks could wash out dirt roads and clog culverts.
Rainfall totals range between 1-2″ for most folks, but some isolated locations east of the Green Mountains could reach 2-3″+
The clouds hold on Sunday, but we're only left with a few sprinkles or spot showers and temperatures climb into the upper 50's and lower 60's for both days this weekend!
Have a great weekend!

Humor: New school year resolutions you'll break within a month
Back-to-school season means you're back to making promises you can't keep Resolution: The kids will eat a nutritious breakfast every morning. Reality: You will attempt to cook your children a breakfast fit for a magazine spread but after several mornings spent in frantic chaos while someone whines, 'I don't like eggs,' you'll wave the white flag and make sure you stock plenty of cheap off-brand cereal bags in the pantry. Sugar is on the food pyramid so that counts, right? Resolution: Nobody will miss the school bus. Reality: It's amazing that something giant and yellow can sneak up on you, but no matter how hard you try to get the kids out the door at 7:25, somehow the bus always arrives either a minute too early as your kids are sprinting to the corner, or 5 minutes late, at which point the children have come inside to let you know the bus is late which is why they need to grab a snack. Resolution: Your child will not bring their cell phone to school. Reality: Some battles aren't worth fighting. Plus you know the teachers have those handy 'no phone' rules and the tools to lock those phones away. This is their fight now, and bless them for it. Resolution: You will feed your child nothing but homemade, healthy lunches that are perfect for Instagram posts. Reality: Healthy meals look beautiful when you take 40 minutes the night before to arrange the fruit slices just so, or cut out mozzarella cheese and pepperoni in star shapes to bedazzle some sourdough bread. The quinoa and carrot melody is a riot of textures and color. However, the meal never looks as good when returned mostly uneaten by children who traded the pepperoni stars for Skittles. Resolution: School related clutter will not usurp every horizontal surface in your home. Reality: By some unknowable magic, the beginning of the new school year correlates to the slow but unstoppable takeover of your home. Homework, calculators, pens, books, dioramas, glue sticks without lids, lids for missing markers, and whatever passes for art these days will show up in every room and their is nothing you can do to stop it. Because I promise the one thing you throw away is the exact thing they'll say they needed. Resolution: Every permission slip will be signed and put into backpacks immediately. Reality: You'll frantically drive to the school to get there before the field trip bus leaves to show the 6th grade teacher that yes, Janie can go to the zoo. Resolution: The kids will not get sick. Reality: HAHAHAHAHA! Hope you like using your sick days, because kids are germ factories. Resolution: You will not lose control of your temper in the pick up line. Reality: Uh huh. You say that. Then someone on their phone doesn't notice the line move. Another insists on talking to a teacher for 10 minutes. One parent takes too long calming their child with gentle parenting skills learned from an influencer who's raising chickens while homeschooling her children somewhere in Austin, Texas. Bring a car sweater you can scream into. Resolution: You will not volunteer for every PTA activity. Reality: You're terrified of the PTA president who is rumored to have put a store bought cake in another mom's bed when she refused to participate in the holiday home baked goods sale. Resolution: Homework will get done before anyone watches TV Reality: When did teachers give so much homework? Also why is math suddenly different? Forget it! You trust them to get it done without your hovering. Ignorance is bliss. Solve the daily Crossword

Pedestrians race NYC bus to stress need for 34th Street busway
Can you walk faster than a New York City bus along 34th Street in Manhattan? Transportation Alternatives, city leaders and commuters wanted to prove a point Thursday, so they raced the M-34 bus from First Avenue to Eighth Avenue — not by running, but by walking. The pedestrians reached the finish line in 15 minutes. It took the bus 22 minutes to travel the same distance. Advocates say a car-free busway would help speed up buses. "That bus should ... do that distance in five to six minutes max, and we're hoping that a busway will bring that," said Emily Jacobi, with Transportation Alternatives. A busway along the 34th Street thoroughfare has been years in the making, and a faster route is in reach. The City Council's Committee on Land Use approved a rezoning plan that includes 9,500 homes in Midtown South and a busway on 34th Street. "Remove all ... the unnecessary private vehicles from 34th Street," Council Member Erik Bottcher said. It's been eight years since 14th Street implemented its busway, and the Department of Transportation commissioner says bus speed has increased by 24%. Some opponents worry a 34th Street busway would result in congestion on the surrounding streets, saying Eighth Avenue is often backed up as it is. The City Council will vote on the busway later this month. If approved, Bottcher says he will push for it to go into effect as quickly as possible.

New Kensington Fire Department renamed to honor firefighter who died in line of duty
Thursday marked 30 years since the New Kensington Fire Department lost one of its own in the line of duty. A memorial service was held on Thursday to remember Eric Lee Mangieri, and the fire station was dedicated in his honor. It was a touching tribute to a life taken too soon, a man who was willing to make the ultimate sacrifice. "His brief moment here, he made a hell of an impact," New Kensington Fire Department Chief Ed Saliba said. On August 7, 1995, firefighter Eric Lee Mangieri of New Kensington Fire Department Company 4 died while looking for people who might've been trapped inside a burning house on Freeport Road. "Within about 45 minutes, things turned to hell real fast, and Eric was trapped and killed, unfortunately. It was our darkest day," Chief Saliba said. "That day, a pall was cast over our fire department and our city. It took us a very long time to move on. We never got over it, and we never will." Mangieri is New Kensington's only firefighter to die in the line of duty. He was 25 years old and had been with the department for two years. Firefighters from throughout the area gathered to remember their fallen brother Thursday night. "Eric was a brother, a brother firefighter. I was at the fire, as was my father. And I actually did CPR on Eric from the house, even while he was in the hospital. It's important that everybody remembers Eric and the sacrifice that he gave to this community," said Pamela Williams, president of New Kensington Fire Company 4. A memorial to him already stands tall outside, and now the station is named the Eric Lee Mangieri Fire House. "It's very important to our family just to know that he is not forgotten," said Carrie Distilo, Mangieri's younger sister. The fateful day still feels like yesterday for Distilo. "This just solidifies everything, and it just makes it permanent. When I see that up there, I just think of him protecting the fire department. He's keeping an eye over the firemen and his brothers as well as his family because being a fireman was like another family to him," she said. Distilo plans to carry the bond with her family and the firefighters for her brother. "He was a very hardworking person, and one of his greatest characteristics was his brilliant smile, a smile that I will never, ever forget. He was a very giving person," Chief Saliba said. "He just loved everybody, and I know he's looking down right now and he is smiling," said Distilo. Mangiere's sacrifice will never be forgotten, and he'll always be remembered as a hero. "He never doubted not once to hesitate to help anybody, and that's why he became a fireman," Distilo said. Thursday's memorial service started off the Western Pennsylvania Firemen's Association Convention, which runs through Monday in New Kensington. Some of the events include a car cruise at 9 a.m. on Saturday, a parade in downtown New Kensington at 3 and the battle of the barrel contest at 8 a.m. on Sunday.
