50 are going, but the move is still seen as significant. political reporter dave evans is here with the details. >> the move is significant because it marks the first time that american troops will be deployed inside syria. the white house insists they will not be involved in day-to- day combat, that they're there simply to train and assist. for some this is a worrisome development that 50 troops won't be effective, that it puts americans at risk. others fear it could lead to a rapid escalation. >> the white house says it is not a major troop deployment like in iraq and afghanistan. fewer than 50 commandos from u.s. special operations. they'll advise syrian rebels and kurdish forces now fighting isil. they'll operate out of northern syria and the white house admits it is a serious risk. >> the president does expect that they can have an impact in intensifying our strategy for building the capacity of local forces inside of syria to taking the fight on the ground to isil in their own >>

much of a difference. >> to put american lives at risk with such a small number to me is not going to improve the situation at all. so i'm very concerned. to me the president either should do it or not do it, 50 troops to me just seems to me he's going halfway. >> one big concern is russia has already entered syria and has fired at syrian rebels. the people who we are now trying to help. but the white house says more must be done to try to end the civil war in syria. it has lasted for four years now, left 250,000 dead and more than displaced. shirleen and david. >> thank you. dave. a possible

humidity. a northwest wind at 17. the barometer's on the rise as that high gets closer, the winds will back off. managed to reach 61. these are your morning lows, take about 8 to 12 degrees off these numbers you get tomorrow morning's lows. it's chilly. it's actually a frost advisory eastern long island where parties of the area the growing season hasn't ended. we've got 59 degrees at citi field, pretty gusty wind there, backs off as we approach game time, have that forecast in just a second. and notice in the suburbs already 48 in monticello. definitely a chill in the air. you'll need the coat tonight. the winds are out of the northwest, still gusts over 20 miles an hour. as the evening wears on it will become more like 7 to 16 by 7:00. lighter wind later on. things calm down. that means chilly temperatures tomorrow morning with light winds and clear skies. 44 in the city, widespread 30s in the suburbs, and then sun will be mixed with high clouds during the day but will be a light wind. for first pitch tonight, 52 degrees northwest wind about 6 to 12 miles an hour, so if you're fortunate enough to have tickets you'll need the coat. even though that doesn't sound that strong, standing in that can feel chilly. the satellite's mainly clear, high pressure is going to try to build in. as that gets closer later on tonight the winds will start to back up. then we look at a pair of lows. middle of the country and over towards canada. one's going to our north, one's going to our south. the one to the north is close enough that it could brush us with a shower sunday morning. the halloween forecast for tomorrow evening after a high of about 56, 52 in the early evening with lighter wind, maybe a layer under the kids' costumes. otherwise you're in great shape. 56 by day. watch that front to the north. much of the rain's going upstate and into new england. a little bit of those southern showers just clipped the area. best chance will be north and west, but i'd put it at a 20% shot of a shower as folks are waiting at fort wadsworth for the starting line. during the race skies brighten. 63 your high, but at the start of the race probably lower to mid-50s. clear

an hour. now it's just 5 to 10 or 12 miles an hour. maybe 14 or 15 during the race. clouds and the shower threat early on. as we go through the midday, brighter skies, in fact maybe partial sunshine
