00:00 (upbeat music)

00:02 - Good morning guys and happy Friday.

00:04 Remember that I will never say happy Fry-yay.

00:07 It's actually in my contract.

00:08 Let's start our weather headlines off

00:10 the coast of the island of Hispaniola.

00:13 That's where a Carnival cruise ship

00:14 came to the aid of a ship in distress

00:16 that was about 30 miles north of the Dominican Republic.

00:19 The small vessel had capsized, dumping the crew overboard.

00:22 The nearby Carnival cruise ship, Vista,

00:25 headed to the scene after receiving

00:27 an emergency alert signal and saved 'em.

00:30 Our next story brings us to New York City,

00:32 where an artist is unveiling his amazing creation,

00:35 an illuminated masterpiece that just might give

00:38 Clark Griswold a run for his money.

00:40 Some 19,000 lights illuminate a vacant lot

00:44 in the heart of Manhattan, like colorful stems

00:46 blooming into a field of lights.

00:48 British artist Bruce Monroe presents

00:51 his large-scale art project called

00:53 Field of Light in New York.

00:55 It'll be there for a year.

00:56 The artist says it's a very gentle experience

00:58 and everybody will hopefully leave it

01:00 with a warm heart and a smile on their face.

01:03 And finally, you've heard the expression

01:05 a bull in a china shop.

01:06 How about a bull on the train tracks?

01:09 Me neither.

01:10 A runaway bull appeared on train tracks

01:12 yesterday morning at Newark Penn Station,

01:14 a major commuter hub in Newark, New Jersey,

01:17 prompting the temporary suspension of rail services

01:19 to and from New York City.

01:22 I did a check on the Chicago Bulls' recent game schedule

01:24 and the last time they were in the area

01:26 was back on the weekend after Thanksgiving

01:28 when they played the Brooklyn Nets.

01:31 Okay guys, it's Friday and that means it's time

01:33 for this week's AccuWeather social poll.

01:36 This week's question, if you're vacationing

01:38 for the holidays, would you prefer the beach

01:40 or the mountains?

01:41 Right now the beach has a pretty sizable lead.

01:44 I think I would go with the mountains on this one.

01:46 'Tis the season for snuggling by a warm fireplace

01:49 and I think mountains are better for that.

01:52 If you want to cast your vote, just head over

01:53 to the AccuWeather Facebook or Twitter pages,

01:56 or X, to join in the fun.

01:58 Okay, Bernie and Christina, I'm going to guess

01:59 Bernie chooses mountains because he spends

02:02 his summers at the beach and Christina also

02:04 chooses mountains because she loves to ski.

02:07 - He's got me right for sure.

02:09 - That's why he's a meteorologist.

02:10 - Great at forecasting our thoughts.

02:13 All right, let's take you to this year.

02:16 If you want a little more in the way of fun weather takes,

02:18 make sure you follow us, not just on Facebook and X,

02:21 but all of our social media channels.
