MORNING. HEY, TONY. >> HEY THERE, CHRIS. RAIN ONE THING WE NEED. ONE OF OUR LONGEST DRY STREAKS EVER. NOT IN THE FORECAST TODAY. JOHN WILL TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT WHEN WE COULD FINALLY START TO SEE SOME OF THAT RAIN RETURN. I WANT TO SPEND A FEW MINUTES TALKING TEMPERATURES. THEY'VE BEEN ALL OVER THE PLACE. THIS MONTH IS A PERFECT REMINDER OF THE KIND OF RANGE YOU CAN GET THIS TIME OF YEAR. THE SEASON STARTS TO TRANSITION. THINK ABOUT IT, WE ENDED LAST WEEK WITH FROST AND FREEZE ADVISORIES. FREEZE ALERTS. WE START THIS WEEK WITH RECORD TEMPERATURES. IT'S KIND OF THIS TUG OF WAR BETWEEN THE WARMTH WHICH CLEARLY WINNING;

RIGHT? TODAY, TO THE COOLER AIR THAT GAINS GROUND BY THE END OF THE WEEK. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE TEMPERATURE TREND, MORE OF A SUMMER-LIKE FEEL TO START THE WEEK. WE HANG ON TO THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. THEN IT'S DOWNHILL. NORTHWEST WINDS TAKE OVER BEHIND A FRONT. THAT INVADES OUR ATMOSPHERE. PUTS AN ABRUPT END TO THIS FEEL. DIFFERENT STORY BY THE END OF THE WEEK. COOL, PLEASANT START. WE TURN TO WARM BRIGHT AFTERNOON. FOR THE RUNNERS WE'VE SEEN IN CENTRAL PARK, THEY'VE GOT THEIR SHORTS ON. RIGHT IDEA TO GET THE WORK IN EARLY. IF YOU WORK OUTSIDE, IT'S TOASTY IN THE SUN. YOU'RE NOT SEEING ANY

RAIN IN THE FORECAST TODAY. COULD WE DO RECORDS? A COUPLE SPOTS, TIED OR BROKE RECORDS YESTERDAY. IN THE CITY, IN THE PARK, I THINK IT'S OUT OF REACH. 88 WILL STAND. IN NEWARK, COULD YOU GET CLOSE? 84. RECORD IS 86. ISLIP, BRIDGEPORT COULD GET CLOSE TO RECORDS AS WELL. THIS IS THE STORY AND MORE OF A SUMMER FEEL. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE PICS WEATHER WATCHERS ARE SENDING IN, YOU GET BACK TO THAT REALITY THAT OH YEAH, IT IS FALL. >> YEAH. THAT'S PART OF THE OTHER, YOU KNOW, WE CONNECT ALL THE DOTS. IT'S FALL SO YOU HAVE A LOT OF LEAVES SO A LOT OF FUEL. THAT CONTRIBUTES TO

THE ELEVATED FIRE RISK AS WELL. TONY TALKING ABOUT NUMBERS. NUMBERS ARE FASCINATING. YOU HAVE BEAUTIFUL BILL THERE IN STOCKTON AT 50 DEGREES. 13 DEGREES WARMER FOR LOVELY LES IN LITTLE NECK. OF COURSE LISTEN TO THIS COMMENT. OF COURSE THE CITY SHOULD OPEN THE POOLS. THEY WON'T. JOHN WILL SPOIL IT BY TALKING ABOUT A COLD FRONT. I WILL. COOLER BY THE END OF THE WEEK. NUMBERS LIKE THIS, IN THE HUDSON VALLEY, 40s, 50s AND 60s. I LOVE THE PICTURES. IT IS NUT DAY, GO NUTS. IT'S MAKE A DOG'S DAY DAY. IF YOU KNOW JUNO LIKE WE KNOW JUNO. WE

KNOW. WE'RE GOING TO MAKE THAT DOG'S DAY. AN MOMMER TO, THAT'S JUST A ALL CUTE PICTURE. BEAUTIFUL PICTURES, A DOLPHIN LONG BRANCH. LOOK AT THESE GREAT FALL PICTURES. AND MORE OF THE SAME. JUST REMEMBER THERE'S A LOT OF LEAVES EVERYWHERE. MAYBE THIS WILL MAKE YOU SMILE AS WE MAKE A DOG'S DAY DAY TODAY. BEAUTIFUL CONDITIONS. SOME OF THE AREA IT IS PEAK COLOR TIME. FOR PARTS OF PIKE, SULLIVAN, ULSTER, PAST WELL VISION THERE. MUCH MORE OF THE AREA DIPPING DOWN INTO MORE OF MONMOUTH AND OCEAN COUNTY. LOOK AT THE NORTH SHORE. SO PRETTY. AND YOU HAVE NOW THESE BANKS OF COLOR. JUST DELIGHTFUL. THE FALLING LEAVES,

MORE THAN JUST A CLASSIC JAZZ STANDARD. THEY'RE EVERYWHERE. WHEN THE RAIN DOES COME, EVEN THOUGH IT WON'T BE WIDESPREAD. WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY, THINGS ARE GOING TO BE SLIPPERY. YOU HAVE THIS PERSISTENT DRY PERIOD. ANY KIND OF MOVEMENT, ANY KIND OF WIND, ANY FIRE THAT IS STARTED, MANY INNOCENTLY ENOUGH, YOU KNOW. THEY COULD SPREAD RAPIDLY. JUST MAKE SURE YOU'RE FIRE SAFE AND SMART. IF YOU SEE IT, CALL IT IN. FEELS LIKE SUMMER TODAY. 79. TOMORROW NOT A BAD DAY. STILL PLEASANT. THURSDAY IS A MUCH MORE DYNAMIC DAY. A WEAK FRONT WILL STIR UP THE WIND. IT'S BACK TO NORMAL TEMPERATURE WISE. COULD SEE A

SHOWER. BUT IT'S A REAL PRONOUNCED DROP AS FAR AS THE TEMPERATURES GO. ONE THING YOU WANT TO NOTICE IS MORNING LOWS. LIKE THE MORNING LOW FRIDAY IS IN THE 40s. SO IT'S 20 COLDER BY FRIDAY MORNING. IT'S DEFINITELY A FALL FEEL SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. PUTTING THE FINISHING TOUCHES ON HALLOWEEN COSTUMES. REMEMBER TO DRESS FOR CHILL. DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING AS? >> I HAVEN'T MADE A PLAN, NO. >> OKAY. WELL YOU SHOULD GO AS A BOOK. THEN YOU CAN BE IN THE BOOK CLUB. >> I
