Raging California Fires; Astros One Win Away from World Series Title.
ROMANS: The raging California wildfires could get worse today, with winds picking up, putting 25 million people in the middle of a red flag warning. Let's go to meteorologist Pedram Javaheri.</s>PEDRAM JAVAHERI, AMS METEOROLOGIST: Good morning, Dave and Christine. The opportunity here for the firefighters to get the upper hand is going to be in the next 12 hours, as winds are expected to pick up again, not only across northern California but also across southern California, the cross portions of the south. Talking about a pretty widespread coverage here, be it the north or the south, about ten active fires around the state of California right now. You work your way into areas around Los Angeles, work your way towards Malibu, winds 50 to 70 miles per hour. That's later tomorrow night to tomorrow morning. Humidity is expected to drop below 10 percent yet again. So, this is explosive fire weather across this region, that will allow conditions to continue and potentially to grow over the next several days. And you notice, the temperatures also want to warm up with the offshore winds in store, as high as the middle 80s a across southern California. Now, that's the story there. Across the eastern U.S., we've got multiple fronts beginning to push through with it. Much colder air on the horizon, and heavy rainfall across the Gulf Coast States, but even some Midwestern snow to be had. In fact, the forecast across Chicago on Halloween, snow showers, highs only at 36 degrees. A gradual warming trend into Friday. But still, a pretty cool temperature trend there across the Windy City -- guys.</s>BRIGGS: All right. OK. Pedram, thank you. The Miami Dolphins snatched defeat from the jaws of victory against Steelers on Monday night football. Carolyn Manno, I didn't write that. Good morning.</s>CAROLYN MANNO, CNN SPORTS CORRESPONDENT: I was confused by it, as well. I think I get what you're getting at.</s>BRIGGS: How is tanking going for the Miami Dolphins? They are working hard at it.</s>MANNO: You said it, not me. Listen, they opened the game with the best quarter of football we've seen all season. But the key is in the details. Just a quarter, the Dolphins splashing cold water in the face of anybody that thought an upset was remotely possible, certainly after that. The first 15 minutes were glorious. Miami's defense came out swinging. Howard's interception, led to a touchdown. Looking good so far. Dolphins up early, 14-0. But things started to unravel before halftime. This is under a minute to go. Steelers within in field goal range, Dave. No defense in sight. The rookie, Johnson. They blitz. He heads to the end zone. The Steelers quarterback, Mason Rudolph, settling in as the game progressed, 26 yards to score. Pittsburgh scored 27 unanswered points. The Dolphins are winless. That's all I will say. They're winless. Meantime, after a brutal 0-2 start to the season, the Golden State Warriors, no longer winless. The team never trailed against the Pelicans. They led by as many as 29 throughout the fourth quarter. Steph Curry and DeAngelo Russell leading their way on offense against New Orleans. Curry finished with a team-high 26 points on the 11- point win. The team's best shooting performance of the season was enough to leave Curry and Russell skipping with joy as they begin a four-game home stand tomorrow, where the three best friends</s>RUSSELL WESTBROOK, HOUSTON ROCKETS GUARD: This is how it goes. When I hoop, I have no friends. On the court, they know not to talk to me. Steven is a close friend of mine. Inside the lines, there's no friends. Spalding, that's my friend and my teammates, that's it.</s>MANNO: And the Houston Astros have a chance to win their second World Series championship in three years tonight. There's going to be a familiar face in the crowd, besides our own Andy Scholes, who has been doing due diligence. Jeff Adams, becoming a legend on Sunday night, when he took a home run off the chest, rather than giving up his two beers. Bud Light, of course, tracking him down, offering to send him to tonight's game six in Houston. Not sure where he will be sitting. But he should be pretty easy to find. He's going to be wearing a t-shirt of himself, with the caption, always save the beers. Good on Bud Light for finding him right away. He's got to be out there, among the people. He's got to be among the people. Don't put that guy in a suite.</s>BRIGGS: You have to be near a home run. He's a World Series legend. Jeff -- legendary, Jeff. Thank you, Manno. Good to see you, my friend.</s>MANNO: You're welcome.</s>ROMANS: Always save the beers. A key White House expert set to testify today on Capitol Hill. He will tell investigators he was afraid that Trump's demands to Ukraine's president could undermine U.S. national security. More details, next.
