so not a factor at all. there can be patchy clouds early tomorrow and then a good deal of sunshine. if there are a few clouds and patchy clouds, another day with sunshine and thursday looks like a third day. each day will feature sunshine and all should feature a continuation of dry weather. this is where the storm is. that's joaquin. it is no longer the major hurricane it was. it is now a category 1. all of the warnings are gone. they were affected by the storm because it wasn't as potent as the bahamas. you can see that joaquin is continuing to stay out in the ocean and then it will be an ordinary storm. here we go with your improved weather. upper 60s for average high temperature. around a seven-day -- around 70. sun. if there is one day the rest of the week that could produce wet weather it will be about

friday with the cold front coming through. if the cold front comes through clean with no waves on it there will be improving weather coming in on saturday and right now sunday looks like a nice day. the wet weather that is coming up looks like it is slated for friday and problem table -- probably in the form of showers with a cold front coming through. what i want to emphasize is the next few days will be farber -- will be far better. >> you know, some people love carnival rides. they are for sure not for everyone. >> getting scared is one thing, but this is extreme. see, the woman on the right just passed out. screaming on the aptly named tara -- teradactil ride in
