Abstract: Let $ X$ be a standard probability space and $ T_t$ a measure-preserving semiflow on $ X$. We show that there exists a set $ X_0$ of full measure in $ X$ such that for any $ x \in X_0$ and $ t \geq 0$ there are measures $ \mu_{x,t}^+$ and $ \mu_{x,t}^-$ which for all but a countable number of $ t$ give a distribution on the set of points $ y$ such that $ T_t(y) = T_t(x)$. These measures arise by taking weak$ ^*-$limits of suitable conditional expectations. Say that a point $ x$ has a measurable orbit discontinuity at time $ t_0$ if either $ \mu_{x,t}^+$ or $ \mu_{x,t}^-$ is weak$ ^*-$discontinuous in $ t$ at $ t_0$. We show that there exists an invariant set of full measure in $ X$ such that any point in this set has at most countably many measurable orbit discontinuities. Furthermore we show that if $ x$ has a measurable orbit discontinuity at time 0, then $ x$ has an orbit discontinuity at time 0 in the sense of Orbit discontinuities and topological models for Bordel semiflows, D. McClendon.
