4:23 pm
moving offshore by tomorrow afternoon. that opens up the way for this storm to move through. it is a quick mover. we'll start to see clouds move in for tomorrow. and tomorrow night into wednesday morning as it gets out of here. but by wednesday afternoon, these winds are already back out to the northwest, with dryer air. and that will start to bring about the return of sunshine, possibly by the time the sun sets already on wednesday. that's going to stick around once again for thursday. so the forecast looks like this, as we head through the day. topped out around 70. tonight, we are going down into the 40s for our lows. it's going to be a chilly one out there. and then tomorrow, we'll start out with sunshine. but clouds will start to increase as we head through the afternoon hours. then there is a chance for a bit of rain tomorrow night into the first part of wednesday. that storm quickly gets out of here. we clear out. it's going to be another beautiful day on thursday. then we'll be watching for the next storm as we head toward the end of the week later friday into early saturday. these have been quick movers. certainly like what we had

u.s. soldiers this past weekend. they were killed during a fierce assault on two remote outposts in the northern part of the country. a total. 16 u.s. service members have died in afghanistan during the first five days of october. president obama is weighing whether to send thousands of additional u.s. forces to afghanistan. but today, the white house reiterated that leaving afghanistan is not an option. well, tonight, the cbs evening news with katie couric begins a series of reports on afghanistan, the road ahead. katie joins us now with a preview. hello, katie. thanks for being with us. >> hi, denise. nice to talk to you. >> so my understanding is that for the next three nights, your broadcast is focusing on the increasingly controversial war in afghanistan. and in fact, more than half of the news will be devoted to this. why do you think it's important? >> reporter: actually, the vast majority of our broadcast will focus solely on afghanistan, which is many different stories in one. and i think the timing couldn't be better, as you said. in terms of bringing attention to this war, with the number of
4:31 pm
casualties on the rise, it's the deadliest year in the war's history this year. obviously president obama and his war council need to make very critical decisions about troops, strength, and strategy. and americans are beginning to focus once again on this war, what is achievable and what are the challenges ahead. so we thought this was a very important opportunity for us to educate our viewers about all appellates of -- aspects of this war, and what's happened and what lies ahead in the future. well, with the deaths we just talked about, and increasingly, we're hearing reports about what's gone wrong in afghanistan. in your reports, will we see any signs of progress in the war against the taliban? >> well, i think the strategy has changed. as you know, general mccrystal has tried to work where u.s. troops live among the afghan people and try to win the hearts and minds of those citizens. but they have a lot of
4:32 pm
challenges, the taliban often terrorizes these towns and villages. and what the u.s. has to do is provide economic opportunities. and some kind of promise for a better way of life for these people not to fall victim to a very increasingly aggressive taliban. so i think that there are some positive signs in those instances. but a lot of challenges, as we saw with that terrible situation over the weekend with eight soldiers. david martin has a similar story that happened last july, just 20 miles from there, in a village called wenat, where insurgents, who are much more familiar with the terrain and way of life there were able to overcome a platoon. and nine soldiers died. and david has a riveting, sort of minute-by-minute account about what these soldiers face, which is very emblematic of some of the strategic difficulties in afghanistan right now. >> all right. i'll look forward to that report and to the entire broadcast. thank you for joining us, katie. >> thanks, denise. and once again, the series
