Mild day with chance of showers Sunday

HOW LONG DO WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR REAL SUN? WELL, WEST IS BEST AT THIS POINT, SO AS YOU TRAVEL FARTHER WEST, THE RAIN HAS MOVED OUT AND SO YOU’RE STARTING TO SEE A LITTLE BIT OF BRIGHTENING AS FAR AS BOSTON. I WOULD SAY BY LATE THIS MORNING, 10 TO 11, YOU’LL START TO SEE SOME SLIVERS OF SUN, AND THEN MORE SO THIS AFTERNOON. SO THAT’S WHAT WE’RE TRACKING OVER THE NEXT 12 HOURS. A LITTLE BIT OF A WARM UP TO NEXT THREAT IS A SIGNIFICANT WORKWEEK. COOL DOWN THE COLDEST AIR OF THE SEASON. BUT KEEP IN MIND WE ARE TRACKING ANOTHER ROUND OF RAIN THIS WEEKEND. SO YOU’LL WANT TO KEEP THAT UMBRELLA ON STANDBY EVEN AFTER THE RAIN MOVES OUT THIS MORNING. IT’S A MILD START, MID TO UPPER 50S OUT THE DOOR RIGHT immediately. AND YES, WE ARE STILL TRACKING A FEW SHOWERS, BUT THE FOCUS OF THESE SHOWERS ARE immediately SHIFTED SOUTH FOR MUCH OF THE AREA. SO AS YOU MOVE FROM WORCESTER WEST, WE ARE DRYING OUT INTO BOSTON. MAINLY DRY, ALTHOUGH IT LOOKS LIKE THERE MIGHT BE A SPRINKLE OR TWO HANGING AROUND ON THE VERY TIP OF CAPE ANN. MOVING OUT TOWARD GLOUCESTER. WE ARE SEEING JUST A FEW OF THESE SHOWERS MOVING OUT TO SEA, BUT YOU CAN SEE THERE’S MORE OF THESE SHOWERS AS YOU STRETCH FARTHER SOUTHWARD ALONG MUCH OF ROUTE THREE. IN PLYMOUTH COUNTY. SOME OF YOUR 24 AND 95 TRAVEL MORE SO AS YOU HEAD DOWN INTO CONNECTICUT, AND THIS IS FOLLOWING A PATH THAT WILL BE MOVING NORTHEASTWARD THROUGH MUCH OF RHODE ISLAND AND EVENTUALLY INTO SOUTHEASTERN MASSACHUSETTS. SO THAT’S WHY, IF YOU’RE SOUTHEAST OF 95, YOUR CHANCE OF RAIN IS GOING TO LINGER A LITTLE LONGER AT 10 A.M., I STILL THINK WE’LL HAVE A FEW SPRINKLES TO movie OVER, ESPECIALLY THE SOUTH COAST, CAPE AND ISLANDS. SO IT’S REALLY NOT UNTIL MIDDAY THAT WE COMPLETELY DRY OUT, AT LEAST FOR THE CAPE AND ISLANDS, BUT FOR BOSTON, I WOULD SAY AS WE MOVE TOWARD THAT 10:00 HOUR, WE DO START TO DRY OUT HERE. IN FACT, WE’RE ALREADY STARTING TO SEE THINGS DRYING OUT EVEN AS WE TRAVEL THROUGH THE 8:00 HOUR HERE. IN TERMS OF SUN, YOU CAN SEE IT’S IN PLACE AS WE MOVE TOWARD NOON TODAY, AND THAT CONTINUES TO BE THE CASE FOR THE REST OF THIS AFTERNOON. WE’RE MAKING A RUN TOWARDS 60 TODAY, SO IT IS GOING TO BE A MILD DAY. AVERAGE HIGHS IN THE LOW 50S. CLOUDS RETURN TONIGHT. AND SO WE ARE LOOKING AT A CLOUDY OUTLOOK FOR YOUR SUNDAY. BUT WITH THE BOSTON HALF KICKING OFF TOMORROW MORNING WE ARE LOOKING DRY. IN FACT WE’RE JUST STARTING TO SEE A FEW DROPS MOVING TOWARD THE ISLANDS AROUND NOON TO ONE TOMORROW. SO WE ARE FOCUSING IN ON THE LATER AFTERNOON HOURS FOR A SLIGHTLY BETTER CHANCE FOR SHOWERS. BUT LOOK AT THIS. THEY’RE SO SPOTTY. THEY’RE SO LIGHT. WE’RE NOT TALKING ABOUT A WALL OF DOWNPOURS HERE. AND IT’S A SIMILAR TREND AS WE MOVE THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT SUNDAY INTO YOUR MONDAY MORNING COMMUTE. IN FACT, THIS IS THE NATURE OF THE FORECAST. EVEN AS WE MOVE TOWARD MONDAY EVENING IN TERMS OF THE AMOUNT OF RAINFALL, NOT SIGNIFICANT, LESS THAN HALF AN INCH FOR MUCH OF THE AREA, BUT THE COLDER AIR BEHIND IT MEANS THAT WE COULD SEE SOME OF THIS RAIN TRANSITION OVER TO SNOW IN NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND INTO THE MOUNTAINS, AND THAT KIND OF COLD AIR IS EVENTUALLY WORKING ITS WAY INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND, TOO. AND YOU’LL FEEL THAT ESPECIALLY TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY, THIS IS WHAT IT’S GOING TO FEEL LIKE ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY AND THE HEIGHT OF THE AFTERNOON WIND CHILL FACTORS IN THE MID 30S. SO WE’RE TALKING ABOUT HIGHS IN THE 40S. BUT THE WIND WILL MAKE IT OF COURSE FEEL EVEN COLDER BY movie. WANT TO movie FOR A SPOT SHOWER OR TWO ON THURSDAY? I DON’T THINK IT WILL BE A HUGE IMPACT FOR THE PATRIOTS GAME, BUT WE HOLD ON TO THE 40S AS WE INCH TOWARD NEX
