The spillway release combined with hydropower is around 7,200 cubic feet per second, according to a Corps social media post.

Young leads at weather-hit PGA Wyndham Championship
American Cameron Young had a one-shot lead with three holes remaining when play was suspended Friday in the weather-hit PGA Tour Wyndham Championship in North Carolina. Young had seven birdies without a bogey through 15 holes and was 14-under for the tournament, one stroke in front of defending champion Aaron Rai of England, who was 13-under with five holes to play. Rai, who had to play a marathon Sunday on the way to victory last year after delays earlier in the week, said he hoped the tournament would get back on schedule quickly when play resumes on Saturday. Thunderstorms had halted play for a second time on Friday afternoon when organizers opted to halt it for the day. "Sometimes it's a nice way just to reset and refresh and go into tomorrow with a new mindset," Rai said. "And obviously there's a positive of just keeping the momentum going if the delay doesn't happen, but you've got to make the best of whatever situation comes your way, really." Mac Meissner and South Korean Im Sung-jae were the leaders in the clubhouse on 12-under 128. Meissner had eight birdies in his seven-under 63 and Im had an eagle and four birdies in his six-under 64. The tournament is the last regular-season event before the FedEx Cup playoffs begin with the St. Jude Championship next week. The top 70 in the FedEx Cup standings advance to the playoffs. bb/js

Hochul orders MTA to investigate why NYC transit system gets overwhelmed by extreme weather
Gov. Kathy Hochul ordered the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to investigate why New York City's mass transit system gets overwhelmed by extreme weather. The governor on Friday demanded the MTA conduct a full review after extreme heat and rainstorms this week caused major disruptions on the subway and Long Island Rail Road, in particular. Commuters had to cling to fences to avoid floodwater at the Seventh Avenue station in Park Slope, Brooklyn, as power outages and heavy rains threw the transit system another curveball. "I'm frightened to go on the subways when I know that they're going to be flooded," one rider said. "I did not leave when I saw the videos and I'm so glad I didn't leave my house," another said. "It looked like a nightmare, people were climbing up on the bannisters." Others wondered why a system so susceptible to weather events cannot be fixed. "Especially now that they're going to raise the price, again," a rider said. Hochul on Friday did order the MTA to figure out how to fix the system, after the storms also flooded the LIRR's Port Washington Branch near Bayside. "What we've experienced is the challenge of having really old infrastructure and being subject to the water that comes from all over, down onto tracks and hitting the subway and commuter rail system. So, we gotta fix that," MTA Chair and CEO Janno Lieber said. "I don't want any person to feel that they're not getting first-rate service. So I've directed Janno and his team to conduct a full review of what occurred this week and how to prevent similar issues from occurring in the future," Hochul said. The governor, who was at an unrelated news conference with the MTA chair and CEO, blamed the poor service on the combination of a 120-year-old system and her claim that her predecessors did not make fixing it a priority. Hochul insisted that congestion pricing, new toll hikes and fare increases to ride subways, buses and commuter trains will provide funds to upgrade the system. CBS News New York pressed the governor on her claims and riders' repeated concerns. "It's not a revelation that there's a power problem at the West 4th Street station, and it's not a revelation that there are subway platforms that leak when there's heavy water," political reporter Marcia Kramer told the governor. "And there was never the money to fix it because no one figured out a path," Hochul replied. "There was never the political will to find any way possible to solve this, but you don't do it for free." Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who is currently running for mayor of the city, would likely dispute his successor's claim that he did not prioritize transit; the Second Avenue subway was constructed under his administration. Plus, the MTA always seems to have a robust budget. It's operating budget is nearly $20 billion and the state just approved a new $68 billion capital plan. Through it all, Lieber has said rider satisfaction is up.

Cool and gray, Friday seemed nothing like Washington in August
The sun didn't shine in Washington on Friday; gray clouds covered the sky, and the temperature stayed in the 70s when not in the 60s, making it seem as if the city had stealthily migrated to Scotland or Scandinavia or Duluth, Minnesota. August began in D.C. on Friday on a day that seemed to lack much similarity to the month or the season, a day that defied conventional Washington weather wisdom, a day with almost no trace of the summertime trials and torments that Washington had so recently been enduring.
