Well get a look at our weather here as well as what tonight with the mets at wrigley. I have time to talk about both. Lets just do i got plenty of time, two minutes. Sit tight, gang. Outside as of now, a good looking sky. The temperatures come in, in the 60s for most folks. Right now new york city 68 degrees with a mostly sunny sky overhead. 69 degrees was your high temperature, 63 should be your high. So 6 degrees above average and a big difference from yesterday. Morning low, average is 49. Milder tomorrow morning. So in terms of the weather, for our area, throughout this workweek its calm. Really rain not a player but could make the lineup at Wrigley Field. Ill show you what im talking about. The chicago forecast for tonight, game 3, first pitch at 8 07 eastern time. About 64 degrees. So temperatures are nice. Right . No problems there. Theres a rain chance, um, that could creep into the area. This is the rain im watching make its way through iowa. Can could very well time out that it gets into it could very well time out that it gets into Wrigley Field at game time. It might go up and over wrigley. You take a look at this, all right, look at the direction its moving. You got to keep a rain chance in for that game tonight. Its out there. Bigger picture is going to show you any of the rain moving across the great lakes will stay north of our area so we look fine. I dont see any problems out there. In fact, tomorrow into thursday, southwest wind nice and mild. Overhead no big deal. Theres a front off to our west which will come through late thursday night. Is there going to be any rain . Theres a slight chance for a shower thursday. I dont think it will be too much of anything. Slight chance of a shower this front comes through and you have a cooldown behind it through your day on friday. Lets talk numbers. Tomorrow, 73, a nice one out there. Thursday 71. Another nice one out there. Later thursday you will see some more clouds coming into the area and maybe theres that slight rain chance as that front that i just told but comes through our area. Then we drop the temperatures down but not like they were to start this workweek. It will be down to, you know, 60 degrees on friday with sunshine. Then saturday youre 62. Sunday the warmer day at around 66. Then monday and tuesday of next week youre back to the upper 50s but, of course, the deeper we get into the fall, the more often you expect to see 50s for highs.

They are counting on their postseason ace jacob degrom to keep the cubs at bay tonight. He knows they are comfortable at home and could play a little long ball. The met hitters, its simple, do the same thing you have been doing. Score runs. It would be great if murphy can continue his blazing hitting. Four home nerds last four games. Five over four whommers in the last four games. Five overall in the post season. We treat every game as must win starting with the dodgers.
