00:00Your Halloween quite warm as well.

00:01You certainly didn't need the jackets

00:03if you were out trick or treating,

00:05though. Watch what happened here.

00:07Further West you can tell the

00:09temperature has dropped and

00:10it's dropped quite a bit.

00:12We're down 26 degrees on the mercury

00:14here in Pittsburgh down 24 in Buffalo.

00:16Charleston, you're down 12 out

00:18here closer towards the coast.

00:19We haven't seen that difference quite yet,

00:22but temperatures are going to be coming down.

00:24Rainfall over the last 30 days has

00:26also been one of the bigger stories.

00:29That's because we haven't really seen any.

00:31Rainfall and we really do need the rain as

00:34we are concerned about an expanding drought.

00:37Now if you look at this map we are well

00:40below to where we would typically be.

00:43And if you look at an area like Philadelphia,

00:46we have surpassed records.

00:47That is days without measurable rainfall.

00:49That old record was 29 days in a row.

00:52And note that happened in the 1800s.

00:55The new record, of course,

00:56this year 1232 days were expected

00:58to add on another one when the

01:00official climate report comes out.

01:03In Philadelphia,

01:0332 expecting it to be 33 with that

01:06last measurable rainfall taking

01:08place on September 28th.

01:09Future radar showing that we don't

01:11really have more in the way of rain.

01:14We have more in the way of sunshine

01:16and dry weather and that's going

01:18to stay the same even as we head

01:20into Sunday you'll note that we

01:22don't get our next chance for rain

01:25across parts of the Northeast

01:26until late Sunday into Monday.

01:28So we're monitoring that situation,

01:30but still not expected to see a lot of

01:32rain at least to put a dent in some

01:35of these dry dry grounds this week.

01:37Pittsburgh 59 on Saturday up 74 by Monday,

01:40so another warm spell here on the way.

01:42Boston,

01:42you're going to be in the 50s through the

01:45weekend, but an area like Pittsburgh.

01:48You can say bye to the 50s by Tuesday.

01:51We're reaching the 80s with plenty of

01:53sunshine though rain on Wednesday.

01:54It's going to bring those

01:56temperatures down again,

01:57knocking them back down to the 60s.
