[ laughter ] let's go out to dr. matt pace to talk about what is happening right now. it is 81 degrees out there right now. and it is almost 10:30 t >> that's the big question. that is what everyone has been asking because it has just been hot out there. no doubt about it. look at the temperature today. 96 degrees out there at phoenix sky harbor. it was warm but look what happened. just last year, it was 100 degrees for the high temperature. that's the record for this time of the year. so yeah, it shows you that it could be a little bit worse, but look at the good side of this. the low temperatures have been absolutely perfect out there. over the past month, we have really seen very nice temperatures, 67 degrees for

and tomorrow, looking almost exactly the same out there. we will start out at 67 degrees. perfect morning orgeat out and enjoy it. mostly sunny skies in the forecast. a few high clouds out there. 87 by noon. 94 degrees by the afternoon. that is our forecast high temperature. so, it is going to be warm out there. but you know what? head up to the high country. enjoy this weather. check out the temperature at the grand canyon. 84 degrees. perfect weather. it could be a little bit on the breezy side. but the rest of the high country is looking very nice as degrees. we have got gorgeous pictures in coming in from flagstaff. you want to see all the fall colors. 88 for you in camp verde. show low coming in, in the mid 70s . so a pretty nice fall afternoon. here is the big picture of what is going on. we have high pressure sitting right over arizona. that is why we have stayed so warm. but check out this system we are tracking moving into the pacific northwest. that is resulting in some very severe weather. we saw some waterspouts turn into tornadoes earlier today in oregon.

easily still see about two toe five more inches of rain coming out of this particular system. so, certainly, a powerful one, but for us again, high pressure in control of our weather. and that is why it is going the stay so warm. in fact, just a few winds will be the issue up in the high country. the next part over the next several days, expect dry weather. the average high this time of year, 89 degrees but mostly sunny skies and guys, by next friday, we are still looking at that high sitting at 95. >> we cannot get . all right. >> wow,. >> thanks a lot matt. next, the secret to family happiness. >> and coop, has his 12 sports

>> all right! time to clue you in on my mvp of the night. i have two of them. i'm allowed to sit on the fence. okay? especially when i can't make up my mind. mvp number one is cleveland indian shortstop francisco lindour. a home run in the 6th inning accounting for the only runs of the game. the indians win game one of the alcs. blanking the blue jays 2-0 for

mvp number two, wally alkins for the dunk over head coach sean miller. oh, i have to give major props to miller for having enough trust in his freshman to serve as a prop. he got it from all the judges to win the slam dunk contest. joe. send it over to you my friend. >> that is one very trusting coach. [ laughter ] all right. thanks a lot coop. the next story might seem like a no brainer to some. but there is now study to move it. it finds the best way to have a happy spending time at home and hanging out together. >> sounds good to me. don't need to take a vacation or try something completely new. the key may just be in taking the time to enjoy things you love at home. the reason is the brain spends a lot of times processing new things and it can take away from being completely happy. as opposed to doing something familiar that provides a little more comfort. what do you like to do as a family? >> yeah.

vacations when you go out of town and it is rush, rush, rush. trying to do so much. it can become more stressful than anything. it is the idea when you get back, you feel like you need a vacation. >> from your vacation. >> so it is very true. >> that makes sense. hey guys, john hamm is my guest tonight. and we have queen dallenger do
