  • Weather or Not curveball! Lee chats with boyhood hero Roger Clemens

    Weather or Not curveball! Lee chats with boyhood hero Roger Clemens
    Apr 20 2024
    We’ve spoken about rockets on “Weather or Not” before, but in this special edition of the podcast, we throw you for a curve – ball! Lee Goldberg meets the “Rocket” himself, legendary MLB pitcher Roger Clemens. Lee is a devout Red Sox fan and New England native, and Rocket is one of Lee’s boyhood idols, with the 1986 World Series a core memory. Join Lee and Roger for a wide-ranging conversation. They cover everything from Rocket's 24 seasons in Major League Baseball playing for teams like the Red Sox and the New York Yankees, and the trips to the World Series, to Rocket’s enduring love of the game – and of golf. We even chat about Clemens’ recent cameo with the Savannah Bananas. And, this being “Weather or Not,” Lee gives Rocket the forecast for his next golf game. Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Lee recaps eclipse adventure and provides long-range weather preview

    Lee recaps eclipse adventure and provides long-range weather preview
    Apr 18 2024
    In the latest edition of Weather Or Not, Lee Goldberg breaks down a number of topics: including this week's rainy weather, our long-range pattern and a recap of his total eclipse adventure. This week has felt like a combination of a June preview and a March rewind, with temperatures reaching as high as 82 on Monday before we bottom out in the upper 40s by Thursday. So, what will it be come late-April and early-May? Lee says precipitation will be slightly below normal to near normal, but we won't get a tremendous amount of warm air. Lee also recaps his total solar eclipse adventure from last week -- traveling from the Eyewitness News studio out to Syracuse, before hustling to Albany and then Burlington, Vermont, where he ultimately got an outstanding view of the eclipse. But that might be the best view we get for a while. Lee says that while there are more eclipses in our future, we will likely have to wait decades before the next one is visible in our area.

  • UPDATE: Punishing late-season storm to deliver heavy rain, wind and even snow across Northeast

    UPDATE: Punishing late-season storm to deliver heavy rain, wind and even snow across Northeast
    Apr 2 2024
    The calendar has flipped to April, but some areas across the Tri-State, mainly upstate New York, are bracing for snow this week. Even those missing the snow will see wintery chill, heavy rain, the risk of flooding and stiff winds, which will bring weather-related disruptions. The nor'easter will be a slow mover as it delivers significant snow to New England, extending the ski season, and showers will linger in the forecast across the region for days. The Yankees home-opener, though raw and cold, is looking like a go. And how about Monday's total solar eclipse? Clouds will likely cover large swaths of the path of totality, but upstate New York could be a sweet spot for viewing. And the New York City area, though 10 percent shy of totality, will enjoy a great shot of taking in the celestial spectacle, with darkening skies, dropping temperatures and wild animals reacting to the sudden dimming. Lee Goldberg breaks it all down in considerable detail in the latest episode of "Weather or Not." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Soaker for Mets home opener? Clouds in the path of totality?

    Soaker for Mets home opener? Clouds in the path of totality?
    Mar 26 2024
    In this edition of Weather or Not, Lee Goldberg takes a look at a progressively rainy week that could impact the New York Mets home opener, and dives into the weather pattern as we approach the total solar eclipse. What has started out as a mainly dry week will become dreary and rainy as a storm approaches our area. This storm is all about rainfall, with a wave of low pressure that could slow the front and enhance precipitation. That's likely bad news for the Mets home opener on Thursday, and a postponement is not out of the question. Looking ahead at the overall weather pattern as we hand the baton off from March to April, Lee says we'll begin to dry out and warmth will start to build, but don't expect any huge warmups over the next seven to 10 days. However, the question on everyone's mind is: what will the weather be like for the total solar eclipse on April 8? Lee says there are some concerns about clouds spilling into the path of totality ahead of our next system – the question is whether or not those clouds can hold off long enough to get a clear glimpse of the rare celestial event. Stay tuned for more of Lee's updates as we get closer to the eclipse! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Sweet road trip! Lee Goldberg takes us maple sugaring at a New York state farm

    Sweet road trip! Lee Goldberg takes us maple sugaring at a New York state farm
    Mar 21 2024
    Lee Goldberg takes "Weather or Not" on the road to Muscoot Farm in the Westchester County community of Katonah. You may think of places much farther north, like Vermont, as hubs of maple sugaring, but local farms like Muscoot tap delicious syrup from their own maple trees. It's a seasonal tradition that's beloved, but like so many things that depend on climate, global warming is shaping its future. You need subfreezing temperatures at night and above freezing temperatures during the day to get the best syrup flow, and with abnormally warm stretches of weather in recent years during sugaring season, that right weather has become elusive. Muscoot Farm director Jonathon Benjamin gives Lee a tour of the tapped trees and the warm and wonderful-smelling sugar house, and explains how the length of sugaring season has lessened over time because of warmer winters, and what the long-term impacts can be of those changes. You'll learn how to make the sweet stuff from trees, and maybe, like Lee, get inspired to tap your own! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Three storms, five days: Preparing for several rounds of rain

    Three storms, five days: Preparing for several rounds of rain
    Mar 5 2024
    We're in for another stormy week, as Lee Goldberg times out not one, not two, but three rounds of rainmakers over the next five days. The first one will come overnight on Tuesday, with the steadiest rain happening during the morning commute. The next soaker comes Wednesday afternoon into Thursday, with the heaviest period likely coming Wednesday evening. We'll get a little breather on Friday when we'll dry out, but that will be followed by another soaker on Saturday that could inundate our area with more rain, creating the potential for flash flooding. Over the next few days, Lee Goldberg will stay on top of the storms with periodic updates as the week evolves. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • STORM UPDATE: Gusty squall then winter whiplash

    STORM UPDATE: Gusty squall then winter whiplash
    Feb 28 2024
    We're in for a stormy night come Wednesday evening! A gusty squall line bringing tornado threats to the Midwest will be less dynamic by the time it gets to our area, but we could still see gusty winds and embedded heavy downpours for several hours Wednesday night. Once the storm moves out, it will usher in a winter whiplash of cold air that could see temperatures plummet 25-30 degrees by Thursday morning. Lee Goldberg has the timing and impact in this 'Weather or Not' storm update. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Spring preview ends stormy ahead of bitter cold blast

    Spring preview ends stormy ahead of bitter cold blast
    Feb 27 2024
    In this episode of 'Weather or Not,' Lee Goldberg takes us through a spring preview that will end stormy – maybe even with a squall line coming through the area Wednesday evening. Rounds of gusty downpours will be followed by a winter whiplash, carrying a blast of cold air that will last for one day, but it will result in a sharp temperature drop Wednesday night into Thursday morning. The Tri-State area could see the heaviest downpours between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Wednesday, making for a rough evening commute with low visibility and wind gusts that could exceed 40 mph. Once the rain moves out, our area could see a 25- to 30-degree drop in temperatures by Thursday morning, with wind chills in the teens and 20s. Fortunately, the cold blast will be brief – leading to a March that comes in like a lamb. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
