in the metro area. diswhrm it could be next month. >> warm and dry for the weather. becky is back with the extended forecast. z25kkz zvpz

look at this our pretty city. the leaves are so pretty in so many places right now. you can go out there in a t- >> i needed that vest for 20 minutes this morning and then it was off, the sun was up and i was doing just fine. it was warm out there today. >> no kidding. it was a beautiful day especially when we have a bit of a breeze out here. and thankfully it is just a breeze. the things that we need in order to give us that extreme fire danger. so put us under a red flag warning or fire weather watch is if we are going to or having

really low. those two factors have not come together today. no red flag warpings and no fire weather watches. taking a live look outside, we certainly have that sunshine and it was a warm day. few more high clouds are starting to build now into the denver metro area. and we're going to have a few of those clouds linger until this evening clearing out tonight. our current temperature, 83 degrees. yeah. broke that record of 80 set in 1966. 81 in greeley. 78 for fort collins. we have lower middle 80s on the eastern plains. 60nd and 70s -- 60s and 70s for the mountains. here outside in the 9 news backyard, lots of sunshine. our current temperature 83 as well. so we're matching those temperatures out at the airport nice and warm. as we head into the next couple of days, believe it or not, we are expecting pretty much more the same. more the same tomorrow.

not a lot going on across the state. it is a pretty boring forecast. elsewhere, totally different story. let's head on up to the northeast. check out all the snow reports that they have. this is just a few. anywhere from 2-4 inches of snow right now reported on the ground. this system is continuing to trek up the northeast where they have very chilly temperature temperatures. completely opposite fo in colorado. out to the west we are monitoring a few rain showers just off the california coast, stretching up to northern california and through the pacific northwest. watching these, because we are expecting a weak disturbance to bush through over the weekend. that will cool us off. the big question is does it bring denver some rain? right now it doesn't look leak it. also off the coast we've got a tropical storm still to tell you about. this was a hurricane just a few

storm seymour. the winds have died down to 65 miles per hour. it will progress to the north, northeast becoming a right lane depression by thursday with those winds down to 45 miles per hour. and it will be carrying some moisture with it. so we will be watching as that pushes on shore over the weekend as well. here's a look at your forecast for the next 24 hours. the one thing that will impact our forecast for tomorrow are going to be clouds. 'v mountain wave cloud that will be developing just off to our west over the foothills. the big question is, do we get more of those clouds in and over the denver metro area. if you have lived here long enough, you know that if we get the clouds coming in off the foothills, that can mean a significantly cooler day for us. if we don't, we will warm up fairly quickly. at this point it looks like the clouds will stay to the west and we still should see south westerly winds which will help

the low 80s for tomorrow afternoon. potentially breaking another record high. we are not expecting rain or snow across the state. just extra clouds from the western slope to the eastern plains. even into friday night. by about 11:30 on friday, we will start to see rain develop in eastern utah. that could push into our mountains as we head into the weekend. but for denver, still a pretty dry forecast. that area of high pressure aloft is still in place. this is just building into why we are so warm. and it's still in place even as we head into saturday. breaks down a little bit by saturday afternoon. our temperatures will be cooler with highs in the 70s. but that is still way above average for us this time of year. speaking of the forecast, let's compare it to where the records are. over the next couple of days, records hang out in the upper 70s and low 80s. tomorrow we've got another chance to break a record. we are forecasting high of 82. record high is 80.

temperatures on sunday. because sunday it looks like we will get to the upper 70s and record high is 80 degrees. so we will be within a few degrees of that record. we will be on record watch once again sunday afternoon. next week promises to be cooler and next week we've got a chance, a small one but a chance for rain around here. your forecast for tonight calling for lows in the upper 40s. that is very warm for late october evening. 43 degrees our low for greeley. 45 for eastern plains will see lows in the middle to upper 40s. up around sterling a little cooler. 49 will be your low. in the mountains 30s and 40s. middle to upper 80s on the eastern plains. lamar could be close to reaching 88.

high of 82. if we get that high. that will break our record of 80 last set in 1984. we'll have partly cloudy skies through the day and increasing clouds as we head into tomorrow night. saturday we're a little cooler. 74 the high. look for some morning clouds. 77 and then on sunday, monday fantastic 72 e wednesday that we dip back to the lower to middle 60s with a chance for some rain wednesday afternoon. that's the day we looking for some showers. i know a lot of folks trying to focus on that forecast. it looks like it's going to be a mild halloween. couple of clouds out there. temperatures for the trick or treaters either the low 60s or upper 50s. we will be dropping into the middle 50s throughout the evening. it should be a picture perfect

so we want everybody to stay safe but i can't wait to see the costumes. >> yes. and you want to see them. that is the bad news in cold weather you can't see them. >> exactly. so perfect for this time of year. >> sounds good, thanks. some monkeys are back home today after a layover at dia. don't worry the denver zoo jumped in to help them. >> the two monkeys missed their connecting flight. they were travelin denver zoo staff traveled to dia to make sure they were come tortable during their layover. delays like this happen quite often because dia is a busy place. the delay only lasted for a few hours. the monkeys flight took off around 8:00. they are both happy and well fed. >> you don't want to leave them unfed. >> you want to be eating or something pleasant. >> plenty of bananas.

>> that has to do with our genetics. some is of our brains are needing a little bit more thrill and a little bit more neurologic tickle. >> reporter: it's this thrill that tricks brains into thinking being scare asked a real treat. two things happen when we are startled. first the brain triggers our natural fight or flight response. that is the quick and harky and adrenaline rush. second the brain is very good at assessing that spooky situation doesn't pose any real threat. >> even though i know this guy seriously just a nice guy i met a few minutes ago, it's still freaking me out and it gives you that huge rush of adrenaline that people love. >> reporter: just remember even freaky characters like this well, they are just real people clowning around. >> you are not nice. >> reporter: erika edwards nbc news.

reporter than i would have been. back up, buddy. if you want to be scared, we have a list of the haunted houses around the 9 news area. this is not scary, unless you are up against him sometimes. depending on who you ask. but many might say that seattle sea hawks cornerback richard sherman is a little bit more endearing or likable after seeing this. >> i guess you have to bring your own music. >> reporter: if you give me a second to explain. the sea hawks are coming off a sunday night football game many people said was the most boring ever. it was the most boring ever. sherman could barely walk off the field after playing five quarters in a game that ended in 56-6 tie. sherman seemed to have a good spell cast on him. he greeted reporters wearing a harry potter robe. i thought this was funny. he walked to the podium what
