NEW JERSEY. >>> LET'S GET A LOOK AT THE FORECAST. THERE IS A SENSE OF URGENCY IN LONNIE'S VOICE. WHAT IS GOING ON? >> WE ALL HAVE BASEBALL ON THE BRAIN, AND THE NEXT GAME IS THURSDAY. I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS LOOKING GOOD FOR THE GAME ON THURSDAY. BUT WE WILL GET TO EVERYTHING. WE ARE GOING OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW. THERE IS A GOOD-LOOKING SHOT RIGHT NOW. THERE'S NO SENSE OF URGENCY WITH TODAY'S WEATHER. IT HAS BEEN A BEAUTIFUL STRING OF DAYS. AND RIGHT NOW, IT IS A FINE NIGHT. CLEAR. THE HIGH TEMPERATURE TODAY, WE HIT 70. FOR THE DAY TOMORROW, EVEN WARMER, 71 DEGREES, ANOTHER

NICE DAY BUT THIS GUY WON'T BE AS BLUE. YOU WILL HAVE A FEW MORE CLOUDS, BUT REALLY NO RAIN. THURSDAY BECOMES THE ISSUE. THERE IS A RED ALERT THAT HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THURSDAY, NOT THURSDAY MORNING. IT IS THE SECOND HALF OF THE DAY. HEAVY RAIN, 1 TO 2 INCHES OF RAIN, IF NOT MORE IN SOME SPOTS. GUSTY WIND, UP TO 45 MILES PER HOUR. PERHAPS THAT COULD GIVE YOU SOME PROBLEMS IN YOUR AREA. THE WHOLE THING WILL EXIT QUICKLY FRIDAY MORNING. BUT THURSDAY, THE SECOND HALF IS A TOUGH WEATHER DAY. AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT, IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THIS NEWLY

NAMED STORM, THIS IS TROPICAL STORM CARL. IT IS JUST OFF THE MEXICAN COAST. IT IS GOING TO BE MOVING LIKE THIS SKINNY RED LINE. IT IS NOT COMING ANYWHERE CLOSE TO OUR AREA, BUT IT WILL INFLUENCE THE WEATHER ON THURSDAY. AND I WILL SHOW YOU WHY. WE WILL GET AN INFLUX OF THIS TROPICAL MOISTURE THAT WILL BE PULLED UP TO THE NORTH, ALL BECAUSE OF THIS AREA OF RAIN AROUND CHICAGO AND ST. LOUIS, COMBINING WITH THIS FRONT AROUND MINNEAPOLIS. WATCH WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. THIS FRONT WILL CATCH UP TO IT, THIS COMBINES FORCES, AND THEY BECOME STRONGER. SO WATCH, I WILL PUT IT IN

MOTION. THESE AREAS HAVE TEAMED UP INTO ONE LINE OF BRAIN, MAKING ITS WAY INTO OUR AREA. THIS IS NOON ON THURSDAY. COULD THERE BE ANY RAIN BEFORE LUNCHTIME? A LITTLE BIT, BUT NOT THE BIGGER STUFF. WATCH WHAT HAPPENS OVER THE NEXT EIGHT HOURS. WATCH THAT SYSTEM GETTING PULLED FROM THE SOUTH. LOOK AT THAT, THAT IS SOME HEAVY RAIN AT BASEBALL TIME, THAT IS 8:00 AT NIGHT. AND WATCH THIS, THIS IS RIGHT OVER OUR AREA AND IT DOES PUSH OUT QUICKLY BY FRIDAY MORNING BUT I THINK IT'S GOING TO PUT SOME GOOD RAIN DOWN. FOR THE YANKEES GAME ON THURSDAY NIGHT, IT IS NOT LOOKING GOOD. 66 DEGREES, RAIN IS FORECASTED,

WE DO HAVE A RED ALERT FOR THAT DAY. 1 TO 2 INCHES OF RAIN. FOR THE MORNING, JUST SOME SPOTTY SHOWERS BUT, THE RAIN TURNS HEAVIER AT NIGHT BUT IT WILL QUICKLY EXIT BY SUNRISE ON FRIDAY. YOU WILL DO OKAY WITH YOUR FRIDAY AFTERNOON. IT'S NOT EVEN THE WHOLE DAY THAT I HAVE HIGHLIGHTED AS A RED ALERT, IT IS THE SECOND HALF OF THURSDAY. AGAIN, THE WORST SET UP IF YOU ARE TRYING TO GET AN IMPORTANT BALL GAME PLAYED IN NEW YORK CITY. THAT IS THE WORST WEATHER OVER THE ENTIRE SEVEN DAYS. THEN YOU GET INTO THE WEEKEND, THE WEEKEND LOOKS FINE WITH TEMPERATURES AROUND 65 DEGREES.

NEXT WEEK, ALMOST EVERY DAY IS GOING TO BE BELOW AVERAGE, LOW 60s, MAYBE UPPER 50s. SO WE PLAY THE

First Alert weather: CBS2 11 p.m. forecast
