it is going to be nice and dry. it is not as cool as last night. a live look at the plaza. partly cloudy. temperatures in the 40s. in the headlines, not as chilly tonight. temperatures are not going to fall at all. we could see a sprinkle and rain on monday is a possibility. we will check on that in a moment. 50 degrees in mutt ontown and 52 in valley stream. 50 degrees in white plains and danbury. consistent temperatures and clouds rolling in and a light breeze out of the south that is going to lock in that little beat of heat we got during the day. you can see the sprinkles approaching and as we widen out the view, it's not one, but two systems. the one to the south could bring us rain on monday. we are tracking that normal system for now to bring us possibly a sprinkle tomorrow.

as the sun is getting up, the catskills, some of them hold together as we look at the start time for the marathon. maybe just a quick shower, but i think you can leave the umbrella at home. anything that happens will be quick hitting and we won't be dealing with a lot of rain out of any of these brief showers. everything pushes off to the east as we head into the afternoon and evening and nice weather returning. overnight it will be on the cool side and not too cool. we will see an increase in cloud co mediver. four world series game four with a game time temperature of 51 degrees. dipping down to about 50 in central park. in white plains and 49 in islip. 40 in monticello. not a hard freeze. 44 in morris and 47 in trenton. at start time for the marathon, lots of clouds in place. probably a quick hitting shower or sprinkle, but nothing that is going to dampen your spirits as you head out.

the umbrellas at home. tomorrow it will be mild with a high of 66. 67 in newark as we widen out the view. temperatures in the 60s for just about everyone. even in sussex we will get up to 63 degrees. the seven-day forecast with rain possibly to the south on monday. especially. if you live in new jersey, you have a better chance of getting the rain than in long island or new york. look at the temperatures into the 70s as we enter the month of november. can you believe it? >> am i playing golf next week? yeah. i thought that was over. >> not done yet. >> thank you very much. let's go back to bruce beck live at citi field, the site of the big game tonight. the city is pumped, bruce. >> reporter: rob, the home team has won every game in this world series. will that pattern continue tonight? coming up in sports, the mets look for their second straight

is just what the doctor ordered. plus a ruckus crowd helped in a big way. these are exciting times for the mets and their fans. winning is the perfect tonic for everything. >> i don't think we are any higher or lower. you have to go out and execute. i didn't say anything more last night and it was a game we needed to win. now we are talking today and this becomes the biggest game in the world series for us. >> this is where you want to be in baseball. this is the dream. definitely this is what you write up in your back yard playing wifle ball. >> the devils and islanders played a matinee in new jersey. the devils had the lead after one, but the isles got even. nielsen picks up the loose puck

>> an update on the breaking news we have been following on the morris park section of the bronx where an out-of-control car jumped a curb and ran down five people behind the officers

one person was killed and among the victims, two are children in critical condition. >> we know the crews had to pull one person out of the car and another from underneath. we will continue working on the story and find out more about the victims. stay tuned on news 4 at 11:00. >> drive safe out there. that's it for news 4. >> see you at 11:00. from nbc news world headquarters in new york, this is "nbc nightly news" reporting tonight, kristen welker. we begin tonight with yet another tragedy in the skies. this time, a russian plane crashed in egypt claiming the lives of all 224 people on board. most of the passengers were russians. 25 were children.

the red sea resort of sharm el sheikh when the plane went down 23 minutes after takeoff. russian president, vladimir putin has declared tomorrow a day of mourning as they comb through the wreckage and look for answers. bill neely starts us off from cairo. >> reporter: in a barren desert, the mangled remains of a plane carrying 224 people, their clothes scattered, their cell phones ringing in the debris. no one survived to answer. many passengers were found still strapped to their seats. 25 were children. this was a metro jet plane, an a-321. it took off at 5:21 from sharm el sheikh bound for st. petersburg, russia. it dropped suddenly at 31,000 feet and slowed dramatically before disappearing from radar and crashing. communication has been

lost, he says, but russian officials have no idea why. the airline quickly insisted human error was not to blame. >> translator: our pie lol was pilot was very experienced she says. we don't know what caused the crash. >> reporter: at st. petersburg airport, terrible scenes as relatives learned everybody was dead. >> i got a call on the way to the airport. >> my son called us before he left with is had wife and ten-month-old daughter. ready to board, juri and his three--month-old daughter photographed by her mom, all perished. egyptian officials hinted that they believe a technical failure caused the crash. the crew complaining of engine trouble several times in the past week. the pilot in the final minutes reportedly requesting an emergency landing.

the sinai desert where islamists have fought an insurgency for years. russian and egyptian ministers dismissed claims that the plane had been shot down saying militant lacked the missiles to do it. tonight, russia is in shock and in mourning. a national tragedy is still a mystery this country will not forget. a mystery that may soon be in disbelief. both the plane's black box recorders have been recovered and russian investigators have arrived here in cairo tonight. one shock wave from all of this. some airlines are reviewing their flight paths, two european carriers carriers citing security saying they won't fly over this area until the exact cause has been determined. thank you for the latest. we want to turn to captain john cox, who spent 30 years in safety and crash investigations and is

thank you, captain cox. you have flown this exact model plane before. we know they have found the black boxes as bill neely just reported. based on your knowledge, what do you think investigators will learn from the black boxes? >> i spent 350 flying the a-320 family, including the a-321. it is a very reliable plane. it has an outstanding record. the investigators are going to look at everything. at this point, they are going to look at tech any cam technical issues and the potential for human error. the good news is, we have recovered the cockpit voice recorder and the flight data recorder. those are going to be essential in understanding what happened and what caused this tragedy. >> we know they will be significant. we have also learned the plane slowed down dramatically before the crash. what does that tell you along with the images you have seen of the wreckage so far?

>> well, he pilots reached cruising altitude and then advised air traffic control of a technical problem and they wanted to divert. there is some conflict about whether they wanted to go back to sharm el sheikh or cairo. they wanted to put the airplane back on the ground. they started a pretty rapid descent. it is within the normal flight envelope but it is rapid. if the radar data is correct, the airplane slowed dramatically. that's something the investigators are going to look at very, very closely. if the airplane got too slow, it could have stalled. this airplane has protection around it. but if that's possible and the images that we have seen from the wreckage site, they also show that the airplane appears to be all there. it is consistent with a low impact velocity. so i think this is one of the areas of focus.

>> captain john cox, thank you so much for your insights this evening. we really appreciate it. we want to bring you an update on a story we brought you earlier this week. that military blimp that drifted more than 100 miles on wednesday from maryland to pennsylvania, today, a shin nook helicopter lifted the remains from the field to where it was loaded on a truck for removal. the army has begun taking insurance claims for the damage caused by that wayward blimp they are beginning to investigate food poisoning from chipotle. they have closed 43 restaurants in the area out of an abundance of caution. when we come back, de phil! oh no...
