meanwhile, temperatures are falling away as we head up towards the north. 21 degrees in chongqing, 25 in shanghai. and 26 up in ulaanbaatar. all right. into the americas. we have a tropical storm to talk about. lorena is making its way towards the southern tip of the baja, california peninsula. now, it is expected to weaken off, which is certainly good news. but you could still see 50 to 100 millimeters of rain, enough to cause some localized flooding. we also had gabrielle, if you remember, off over puerto rico. it's now a remnant low. but it's still going to be bringing some pretty heavy rain in towards parts of hispaniola as well as puerto rico over the weekend. another front here across portions of florida and in towards mexico and texas. well, most of the heavy rain is still falling off over the water. so that's certainly some good news, but it is going to be unstable here for coastal locations. up towards the northeast, the great lakes seeing some thunderstorms potentially as well after lots of sunshine. we're now seeing some unsettled conditions. and it's quite cool too. you co

shanghai, 34. 30 degrees for chongqing and up to the north, only 9 for you. now across the atlantic, we have a hurricane. this is humberto. humberto is not going to affect any land masses and that's good news. it should weaken to a tropical storm within the next 24 hours. more of a concern is going to be tropical storm gabrielle which is now located off the east coast of the continent. now, this one would weaken to a tropical depression by friday. however, it's going to interact with the cold front and producing stormy conditions for atlantic canada on friday going in to the week. we are forecasting gusts reaching 90 kilometers an hour and rain about 70 millimeters and stormy conditions likely starting friday. in fact, the system is already affecting much of southeastern canada as well as the northeastern u.s. severe weather is likely for the next several hours. but as we go in to friday, much fresh air moving in from the north and creating some dry and nice conditions on your friday. now, out towards the west, flooding rains once again for the four corners r

really starting to head into autumn it would seem. 21 in chongqing, 25 in shanghai and 25 in seoul and tokyo too. let's go now to our tropical storm. this one is gabrielle, which is heading in towards puerto rico. at the moment a fairly weak tropical storm, but it could see some strengthening before laking landfall on friday in puerto rico. it's also going to be affecting hispaniola there as well. the main thing to watch from this storm is going to be the rains, very heavy rain, far-reaching heavy rain at that. and it's slow moving, which means the torrential downpours will continue over pretty much the same place for an extended period of time, which of course ups the risk for flooding. the southwest corner of the u.s. is going to be a little bit unstable as well. florida certainly picking up some thunderstorms from this stalled out front. that heads in towards mexico and southwestern texas -- southeastern texas i should say. it will keep things unstable along the coast as well, but most of that really heavy rain is going to be falling over the gulf of mexico over the water. high pres
