radar picture, clear skies for the most part right now. high pressure is in play. two systems approaching from the west that will bring us the possibility, first off of plenty of clouds, and secondly some showers, especially early tomorrow. here we are. they are going to be watching them closely as they make their way closer to us. here's what the future model projects. for this morning, looking lovely. the clouds to thicken. this evening, mostly cloudy. game time, mainly cloudy, and overnight, the suggest that we will see a few showers east of the city. most of us are dry until tomorrow morning, and that is when we do have a slight chance for a few showers. the best bet for showers will be before noon tomorrow, and by afternoon, you will start to see the clouds breaking up. we will see more sunshine by tomorrow afternoon, and then monday, here is the deal, one of those systems track together south may still have an impact on the forecast, and certainly we will get more clouds thrown in our direction on monday, and we may get wet weather easing in our direction.

none for today, and it's a perfect trick or treating forecast, and mostly sunny early, and more afternoon clouds and a high of 57. if you're headed out trick or treating later today, cool and calm. 56degrees, falling to 52. sunset is at 5:54, and then for the marathon tomorrow morning, from 6 to 7, as the racers begin to arrive on staten island, mainly cloudy skies, maybe a stray shower and 49. as most of the marathoners wrap up their run, partly sunny and 64. we will show you the extended forecast. high tomorrow of 65. more sunshine by afternoon, and monday, 63. we are watching the system to the south, and tuesday, wednesday, and thursday, again, consider taking a little time off. we will be just about 70 with sun. andrea and diane, back to you. they may have been down 2-0 in the world series, but you have to believe. the mets won game 3 at citi field last night. tonight they will try to even it up.

here's otis livingston with your sports update. >> good morning, everyone. no team has ever come back from being down 3-0 in the series to win the world series, and in fact, the yankees are the only team to ever blow that type of the lead in the playoffs, but we will not talk about that. the mets will avoid going down 3-0 as the series shifted from kansas city to citi field. only 10 teams have come back from being down 2-0, and the '86 mets were one of them. david wright with the 2-1 shot in the 1st. kc retook the lead but that was only until granderson came back. new york back in the driver's seat. the royals have had their way against the mets' pitching, but they got the royal treatment from noah syndergaard. the mets up 5-3. new york's big inning coming in the bottom of the 6th, and that's when they
