THE DEPARTMENT AND DIRECTOR OF THE BUREAU OF CLEANING AND COLLECTION. IN THE MEANTIME, WE ARE COUNTING DOWN TO THE START OF FALL, AND IT IS CERTAINLY FEELING LIKE IT THIS WEEKEND. LONNIE HERE WITH THE WEATHER FORECAST. Reporter: THE FALL SEASON IS ONE A LOT OF FOLKS LOOK FORWARD TO. THEY LIKE THE CRISPNESS IN THE AIR, THE NICE CLEAR VISIBILITY. AND I WILL SAY, THE BLUE SKY IS BACK IN OUR AREA. A LOT OF THAT SMOKE HAS BEEN SCOURED OUT OF THE ATMOSPHERE BY A NORTHERLY WIND. 69 DEGREES NOW. IT WILL GET CHILLY. OVERNIGHT. REAL CHILLY. IN FACT, FROST ALERTS, THE FIRST ONES OF THE SEASON, HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR AREAS NORTH AND WEST. BUT IT WILL BE A DRY STRETCH. I'M TALKING ABOUT NOT JUST FOR

LIKE, THE WEEKEND. I'M TALKING LIKE THE SEVEN-DAY FORECAST. WAIT UNTIL I SHOW IT TO YOU. I WANT YOU TO COUNT. THE NUMBER OF RAIN DROPS YOU WILL FIND. OR NOT COUNT. IT WILL BE ON THE COOL SIDE EXCEPT THE WARMEST DAYS WILL SPIKE ON WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. YOU COULD BE WAY UP THERE CLOSE TO 80 DEGREES. MAYBE A LITTLE WARMER FOR SOME OF YOU. THE LAST TEN YEARS, EVERY YEAR BY ONE HAS GIVEN US A LATE SEPTEMBER OR OCTOBER DAY THAT HAS BEEN 80 DEGREES OR ABOVE. THE TROPICS ARE JUST OUT OF CONTROL. THEY HAVE GONE TO THE GREEK ALPHABET AND WE ARE TOO DEEP INTO IT. HERE IS WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT. NOW, ALPHA, OKAY, WHICH IS THE VERY FIRST LETTER OF THE GREEK

ALPHABET. IT IS OVER HERE MAKING ITS PUSH THROUGH PORTUGAL AND SPAIN. IT IS A SUBTROPICAL STORM. PORTUGAL AND SPAIN ARE NOT USED TO THIS. THEN TROPICAL STORM BETA. WE HAVE HURRICANE TEDDY. THAT WOULD HAVE A LITTLE SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT OUR WEATHER HERE. OVER THE WEEKEND, I WILL EXPLAIN ALL OF THAT, AND ALSO, RIGHT HERE. THAT LITTLE FLARE-UP RIGHT THERE, THAT COULD BE GAMMA, THIS COULD BE DELTA. THE FURTHEST WE HAVE EVER GOTTEN INTO THE GREEK ALPHABET IS ZETA BACK IN 2005. AND WE ARE SO FAR AHEAD OF PACE, WE ARE OVER A MONTH AHEAD OF WHERE THEY WERE IN 2005 AT THIS POINT IN TIME. THIS IS BETA. BETA IS FORECAST TO BE A

CATEGORY 1 MAKING LANDFALL SOME TIME TUESDAY OR WEDNESDAY. SOMEWHERE ON THE SOUTHERN OR CENTRAL TEXAS COASTLINE WITH WINDS POSSIBLY 65 TO 70 MILES AN HOUR. THEN, YOU TAKE A LOOK AT TEDDY. ALL RIGHT? THIS IS BERMUDA. A SPECK RIGHT THERE. THE CONE HAS SHIFTED A LITTLE MORE TO THE EAST. IT IS NO LONGER IN THE CONE. IT IS MOVING IN THIS DIRECTION AND GOES DUE NORTH, POSSIBLY MAKING A LANDFALL AROUND NOVA SCOTIA. ALL THE WHILE, IT IS GENERATING THESE BIG WAVES. WE HAVE A HIGH SURF ADVISORY. SOUGHTEIGHT TO 12-FOOTERS. YOU PULL IN THE EXTENDED FORECAST. ALL RIGHT? THIS IS NOW SUNDAY AT 5:30. THAT RIGHT THERE IS TEDDY.

OKAY? THIS LITTLE SPECK YOU WILL SEE RIGHT HERE IS BERMUDA. SO, WE DON'T THINK IT WILL BE A DIRECT HIT. BUT IT WILL BE AFFECTED BY IT, PROBABLY MORE SO THAN MONDAY. THE PICTURE WILL LOOK DIFFERENT HERE AS I CLICK THE BUTTON. NOW, WE ARE GOING INTO A LONG RANGE FORECAST. YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS. ALL RIGHT? HERE IT GOES. THERE IT GOES. THIS IS NOW TUESDAY, 7:30, MAKING THAT LANDFALL. TALKING ABOUT IN NOVA SCOTIA. YOU DIDN'T SEE A RAIN DROP IN OUR AREA. NOT A DROP FOR THE ENTIRE SEVEN-DAY PERIOD. SO, FOR TONIGHT, SUNSET WILL BE AT 6:59. THAT WILL BEGIN ROSH HASHANAH. TEMPERATURE 63 DEGREES. NICE LOOKING SKY.

A LITTLE BREEZY OUT THERE FOR YOUR DAY TOMORROW. 65, A TASTE OF FALL. IT IS SUNNY. IT'S COOL. HERE'S THE EXTENDED FORECAST. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? WE WAITED ALL SUMMER FOR A SEVEN-DAY FORECAST THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE A DROP OF RAIN? LOOK AT THAT. RIGHT ACROSS THE BOARD. AGAIN, PEAK TEMPERATURES WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. RIGHT AROUND 80 DEGREES. FALL WILL KICK OFF 9:30 IN THE MORNING ON TUESDAY. THAT'S SOMETHING AGAIN WE DIDN'T SEE AT ALL THE ENTIRE SUMMER. HERE WE ARE JUST GETTING READY THE KICK OFF FALL. AND THE FIRST WEEK, WE GET A NICE DRY ONE. DON'T FORGET THE WINDCHILLS. THE WINDCHILLS ARE KICKING IN. FEELING LIKE 40 DEGREES IN NEW

YORK CITY. IS THE OCEAN WARMER THAN THE OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE? [LAUGHTER] YOU KNOW WHAT? LISTEN, OCEAN TEMPS ARE STILL SWIMABLE. THE OCEAN TEMPERATURE IS WARMER THAN THE AIR TEMPERATURE IF YOU ARE GOING OUT TO THE BEACHES THIS WEEKEND. SO GO IN THE WATER AND STAY LIKE THIS. [LAUGHTER] WARMER IN THE WATER.
