00:00So when we say that we're getting that taste of October, that's exactly what we're talking about

00:04and that's exactly what it's going to feel like here for some areas. But overall that nice stretch

00:08of weather we had over the weekend continued yesterday, continued today across the northeast

00:13and it's even going to continue for some areas into tomorrow. Here's a look at current temperatures

00:17widespread in the 70s. We now have some coastal areas dipping into the 60s including Portland

00:22and Boston right there at 70 degrees in New York City. So overall this nice afternoon is going to

00:29turn into a relatively nice evening as well here across this region. Winds have come down for the

00:33most part. We had some stronger winds there in Boston but now everything's starting to calm down

00:37here as we end the evening and about to head into a sunset here in about the next 30 minutes to an

00:42hour. So winds have come down, temperatures have come down, even the rain chances for some areas

00:48have come down as well. Still some pretty good rainfall there across western New York, some

00:52isolated showers across upstate New York, Vermont and New Hampshire but most of the heavy rainfall

00:56continues there across parts of Kentucky and in Tennessee. We'll see some flooding concerns

01:01down there as we head into this evening that will keep you up to date on. Temperature wise

01:05here as we head into tonight we will see some chilly conditions, overnight lows primarily a mix of 50s

01:09and 60s but we will see some 40s and anywhere you see blue on this map that's where we are forecasting

01:15overnight lows to dip into the 40s. So this is going to be a chilly start here for your Wednesday morning

01:20but Wednesday afternoon for the most part looks like the forecast is going to cooperate. It's going to be a pretty nice day

01:25tomorrow. So here's the overall setup. Dry conditions continue to dominate the forecast across the

01:30northeast but look off to the southwest. More showers, more storms across southern Ohio, Indiana,

01:35parts of West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, those areas. Look at this cold front sweeping its way across

01:40the Great Lakes. So Green Bay, take a look at the highs we're tracking here for tomorrow. Green Bay only

01:4666 degrees. We're actually going to see more 80s in the forecast across the northeast Wednesday afternoon

01:52so it's actually going to be warmer tomorrow than what I was tracking today but everything's going to

01:56change here as that cold front sweeps its way across the region and that's what's going to bring our next

02:00good chance of rain here across parts of the northeast.
