First, The Forecast:

It's Election Day, and the weather is cooperating nicely.   A sunny start today, a few
extra clouds later on.  Look for a seasonal high of around
60-degrees.  No rain to keep you from the polls...

The National Weather Service has issued  a Freeze Warning and a Frost Advisory
for tonight at midnight through 9 a.m. on Wednesday.
The coldest temperatures of the season so far will be happening tonight!
If you still have any tender plants outside, bring them in if you want to save them.

World Series Forecast:
Phillies vs. Yankees at 8:00 pm Wednesday in the Bronx: Chilly and dry,
42-degrees for the first pitch. Temps fall through the thirties during the game.

If a Game 7 is necessary, and we certainly hope it will be, the weather could be
interesting.  Rain is in our forecast....New York could see a few snowflakes mixed
in at night.

Memory Walk:
November is Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month.

Join FOX 29 and the Alzheimer's Association as we battle against this terrible disease.
We’ve been teaming up on this effort for almost a decade now, and we still need your
help.

Did you know that Philadelphia is the metropolitan area with the highest
concentration of older persons in the United States?
This means that, by the year 2050, our area could have more than 550,000 people
with Alzheimer's disease!
The Alzheimer's Association provides funds for vital programs and services.
The annual Memory Walks raise awareness of this imminent epidemic and funds
 to assist those afflicted, and their caregivers, in the Delaware Valley.
There are two more Memory Walks scheduled, and the FOX 29 Team will be out there
 with you.  Join us on:

November 15th at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia
I plan to be there, too.  Here’s where you can register.
Hope to see you our remaining Memory Walk!
