BUT THEY ARE GOING BACK AND FORTH. TONIGHT, PARTLY CLOUDY AND 40. SUBURBS IN THE 30s. SMOKE STILL AN ISSUE FOR MANY. TOMORROW, 50s WITH EVENING RAIN THAT WE ARE COUNTING ON. BY MONDAY, 67 WITH CLEAR SKIES AND BREEZY CONDITIONS. TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, SEASONABLE TEMPS IN THE 50s WITH SUN AND MORE FIRE RISK.

THROUGH THE AIR. THIS GIVES YOU A CLOSER LOOK FROM HIGH ATOP THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING. SKIES ARE CLEAR, BUT IT SMELLS LIKE SMOKE FOR MANY OF US. 47 DEGREES WITH WINDS OUT OF THE NORTHEAST AT NINE. THAT WIND DROVE SMOKE INTO NORTHEASTERN NEW JERSEY, INTO THE CITY, DOWN THE JERSEY SHORE TODAY. POOR AIR QUALITY DOES TOP OUR WEATHERHEAD LINES. THIS TREND WILL PERSIST UNTIL THE RAIN TOMORROW NIGHT, AS WILL THE FIRE THREAT. THERE ARE A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF FIRES, BUT ALSO SOME MASSIVE FIRES, SPECIFICALLY THAT JENNINGS CREEK FIRE. THAT IS HUGE. RAIN IS IMPERATIVE IN THE FORECAST.

TO GET THINGS BACK TO SOME -- SOMEWHAT OF A PLACE OF NORMALCY. THE SMOKE SHOULD BE SUBDUED BY TOMORROW'S RAIN. OUR TROUT WILL NOT BE ELIMINATED, NOR DO I THINK IT WILL BE EVEN A LITTLE BIT FIXED.

VANESSA MURDOCK IS HERE NOW WITH THE FIRST ALERT FORECAST. WE NEED TO KNOW IF RAIN IS COMING, HOW MUCH OF IT. >> THANKFULLY, RAIN IS BACK IN THE FORECAST TOMORROW NIGHT. I WILL SAY THE PROJECTIONS ARE LOOKING GOOD FOR A DECENT AMOUNT OF RAIN. THINGS CAN CHANGE OVERNIGHT. TOTAL RAINFALL IS STILL UP IN THE AIR, THE RAIN IS ON THE WAY FOR LATE TOMORROW INTO EARLY MONDAY. LIVE OUTSIDE, THERE IS NO RAIN AND SMOKE STILL WAFTS

DEFICIT OF OVER EIGHT INCHES FOR THE SEASON. HERE IS THE RAINMAKER WE ARE COMING ON TOMORROW TO DELIVER QUARTER OF AN INCH TO HALF OF AN INCH. WE WILL START WITH THICKENING CLOUDS BY EVENING. LIGHT SHOWERS GIVE WAY TO LIGHT TO STEADY AND MODERATE RAINFALL. WE NEED SOME BLANKET RAIN TO HELP WITH THE SMOKE. 5:30, MONDAY, SKIES ARE BEGINNING TO CLEAR FROM WEST TO EAST. VETERANS DAY, FORECAST LOOKS BEAUTIFUL, BUT BREEZY CONDITIONS MEANS THE SURFACE WILL DRY OUT PRETTY QUICKLY. THE TOTAL RAINFALL, QUARTER OF AN INCH TO HALF OF AN INCH. WE WILL HOPE THESE NUMBERS HOLD,
