deaths. >> and you have been watching this closely. we could see of impact here -- see some impact here. >> i think that direct impact will be well to the east of us. but the front that's coming in, it's going to be the pushing force. that will impact us. that starts our weekend off. i want to remind everybody, when governor's declare states of emecy open up funding and opportunities. it does mean the storm is imminent and coming. >> not the same as an evacuation order. >> exactly. >> but first, we have a dense fog advisories issued here. >> quite the other end of the spectrum. dense fog early. so the red light is on. green light in the afternoon. as temperatures pushing into the 70s. there's where that dense fog advisories kicks off. all of the counties see there with the exceptions being, lake shore, the areas north of 90 and also carol counties. here's how the visibilities expected to go tonight. you can see where we get these darker colors. that's where things get a little merky. remember fogs come and god. what you leave may not be what you encounter. so just keep that in mind. you may want to check in with them. minutes in the morning. just to be safe. rather than sorry. the dense fog, seemingly going to be spread across the area. and i think a lot of us will have the light fog with area of dense fog possible. but by 10:00 a.m. most of the fog should be mixed out. and we shouldn't have any problems with that. high pressure is in control. our upper level low that we dealt with last week is out of here. thankfully, took the rain, took the clouds with it. and now as we look to the west, we are keeping an eye on a canada impressive. as far as the satellite and radar picture, this is going to trips its way across the country. late friday into early saturday. just about the time, this front comes through northeast ohio, we will have a pretty good idea as to where matthew will be along the east coast. this is the hurricane that everyone has been talking about. big hurricane. it's a beast as i have been saying 145-mile an hour winds now. moving to the north at 7 miles r way past haiti and cuba. but causing devastating effects there. going to spend quite some time in the bahamas. forecast tracks have shifted west slightly. throughout the day today. and then the storm is expected to kind of hug the east coast. could take an easterly turn. could. as it goes out. but here's the thing. as that storm is expected it to come off of the east coast. our front is coming in and that hurricane. so by sunday, with the front just in to boston. and a potential masty storm off shore. our time could get soaked with the red sox. so we'll see what's going on with that. and that could definitely be a gig story for the weekend. window nation forecast has us in the 70s for tomorrow. lots of sunshine today. and don't forget, the sunny skies would certainly be nice. the fog will be with us in the morning. up around 80 and here comes the front with cooler weather. >> all right. thank you. coming up, just three days away now from the baseball playoffs. round one, between the indians and the redd red sox. jimmy has the schedule, the game times, and a preview of the series next in sports. >> hey, martha stewart here. she's going to talk about her new book. tonight. >> hey, emily blunt is here plus more. here we go. off we go to game one of the american league division and that's great news for the indians. indians and red sox game. game one of the best of five. third pitch, thursday night at 8:08. inside the series. the red sox won the season series. four games to two. hear in cleveland and twice in boston. more wins on the road than any other team in the american lead. they had 46. but the indians had more wins with a good finish. 94 winds to 93. but really, short series, or any series. it comes down to pitching and really, it comes down to young, trevor bower. here's jenson lewis. >> it stepped up so much better. i think trevor bower is pitching at home instead of fenway park. even if josh tomlin goes out there and lays a clunker, i don't think he'll do that. you have the advantage in a short series. you don't need a four may make the roster. to be able to add some length. but that sort -- shortening the game. >> but it's about the starters right away. game one thursday night. rick will go for the red sox. a young award candidates he had 22 wins on't year and you go against trevor bowerrer. and then kluven going in game two. friday afternoon, that could put them in a great position to the blown browns win and again, they were in position to win the game yesterday in washington. but they cannot get over the top. and i think it's because they're missing that big play maker. both on offense and on defense. somebody, that when things go wrong, when you fumble or throw an interception, the world doesn't cave in. you have a guy that goes, listen, i'll get us through this p follow me. they don't have that guy right now. so they're 0-4. which is this difficult. it's tough. but we are -- i'm seeing a lot of young guys improve. we just not seeing what i want to see. >> it's crazy how, so many times we're up and we're in the game and beat -- and something goes wrong. >> yeah. he's right about that. >> and a tough break for this young man. austin rider. but he tore his acl out. waved today by the browns. eligible to. coback after a four game suspension. he's still facing further suspension from the nfl and the browns say bye bye to him. cavs today back at practice and they're first preseason game. comes up in a couple days. on wednesday, lebron james did not play yesterday in the wine and gold scrimmage. he just sat and as you can see, he just kind of took it easy. how much does he need to play. they'll play >> i don't know. i haven't actualed talked to coach about preseason schedule. i'm okay, either or. i'm talking plays. doesn't want me to play or whatever. it doesn't mean anything. >> i would agree with him about that the. they signed a buddy of his today to point guard. he played with him in miami. he gets a chance to make the team out of training camp. still no deal with j. r. smith. >> and still no win on -- i out. for the browns yet. >> you may have pointed that out. >> there you go. stop. with that box, you'll be the first to win playstation vr. "player one." soon, it spreads like wildfire. humanity becomes so plugged in... we never see them coming. that's why i was sent back to stop you - [slrrrrrp] oh, hey, i won! right. the future of gaming starts at taco bell. to win playstation vr. i think my strongest asset, maybe by far, is my temperament. i'd like to punch him in the face, i'll tell you. i would bomb the [bleep] out of 'em. i could stand in the middle of 5th avenue and shoot somebody and i wouldn't lose any voters, okay? and you can tell them to go [bleep] themselves. get him out of here! get him out of here! of here! priorities usa action is responsible for the content of this advertising. almost summer clothes there. >> looked like they were all sitting beside me.
