Showers move in this evening

WE’VE BEEN WATCHING THIS STORM TO OUR SOUTH ALL WEEK. IT HASN’T REALLY MOVED TOO MUCH. IT’S BEEN BRINGING A LOT OF RAIN AND SOME COASTAL FLOODING DOWN TO THE MID-ATLANTIC STATES. AND IT IS STRUGGLING TO COME NORTH UP INTO OUR AREA. SO WHAT THAT MEANS FOR US IS THAT WE’RE NOT GOING TO GET A WIDESPREAD SOAKING RAINFALL. INSTEAD, A LOT OF CLOUDS TODAY AND THE RISK OF A FEW SPOTTY SHOWERS, THEY’VE BEEN DRYING UP AS THEY’VE BEEN APPROACHING FROM THE SOUTH. BETTER CHANCE WE ACTUALLY GET INTO AT LEAST A FEW SHOWERS OVERNIGHT, ESPECIALLY IN THE BOSTON AREA, INTO FIRST THING TOMORROW MORNING, AND THEN WE SHOULD DRY THINGS OUT COMPLETELY. BUT IT’S NOT A LOT OF RAIN WHERE WE GET IT 10TH OF AN INCH, MAYBE TWO, AND SOME OF US WON’T SEE ANYTHING AT ALL. SO NOT THE WIDESPREAD RAINFALL THAT WE NEED, BUT WE WILL HAVE A FAIR AMOUNT OF CLOUDS TODAY. AND THAT, COMBINED WITH AN EASTERLY WIND AT THE COAST, IS GOING TO KEEP THE TEMPERATURES PRETTY CLOSE TO 70 DEGREES FARTHER INLAND, COOLER THAN IT HAS BEEN THE PAST FEW DAYS, HOLDING IN THE LOW 70S WITH MORE CLOUD COVER AROUND. BUT IT IS LOOKING MOSTLY DRY INTO THE EARLY EVENING FOR THE BOSTON AREA. SO IF YOU HAVE PLANS TO HEAD TO THE RED SOX GAME THIS EVENING, I THINK WE’RE DRY FOR THE FIRST FEW INNINGS. BETTER CHANCE WE ACTUALLY SEE A SHOWER POPPING UP AFTER 9:00 THIS EVENING. AND THAT RISK OF A SHOWER INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AS WELL. TAKE A LOOK. HOUR BY HOUR. WE’LL STOP THE CLOCK FIRST AT ABOUT 6:00 THIS EVENING. SHOULD BE DRY FROM THE PIKE NORTH TO THE SOUTH. THAT’S WHERE YOU HAVE AT LEAST A BETTER CHANCE OF SEEING A FEW SPOTTY SHOWERS. THAT WILL THEN LIFT NORTH IN THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AND LINGER INTO TOMORROW MORNING. SO THE MORNING COMMUTE ON THURSDAY COULD BE A LITTLE DAMP IN SOME AREAS. IT’S NOT HEAVY RAIN, BUT SOME PASSING SHOWERS OUT THERE, AND THEN THESE ARE GOING TO MOVE OUT VERY QUICKLY BY NOONTIME TOMORROW. THE RAIN IS LONG GONE. AND LOOK AT THAT. THE CLOUDS ARE BREAKING FROM WEST TO EAST, AND THAT MEANS IT’S GOING TO WARM UP TOMORROW AFTERNOON. SO MOSTLY CLOUDY. FEW SHOWERS TONIGHT, 55 TO 60 FOR OVERNIGHT LOWS. TOMORROW STARTS WITH A SPOTTY SHOWER IN THE MORNING. THEN WE GET INTO THE SUNSHINE IN THE AFTERNOON. AND WHERE WE GET INTO THAT SUN FIRST IT IS GOING TO BE WARMEST UPPER 70S TO NEAR 80 WORCESTER COUNTY UP INTO THE MERRIMACK VALLEY. METROWEST EVEN BOSTON GETS INTO THE MID 70S. COOLEST ON THE CAPE. YOU HANG ON TO THE CLOUDS LONGEST. YOU’LL BE IN THE LOWER 70S. THEY’RE WARM AGAIN ON FRIDAY. IN FACT, WE’RE GOING TO RUN TOWARD 80 DEGREES ON FRIDAY AS WELL. AND THEN THIS FRONT RIGHT HERE GOING TO BE A GAME CHANGER FOR THE WEEKEND. IT’S GOING TO COOL THINGS DOWN. SO FROM 80 ON FRIDAY OUR HIGHS ARE ONLY IN THE 60S. ON SATURDAY CRISP FALL LIKE AIR DEW POINT TEMPERATURES DOWN IN THE 30S AND 40S REALLY DRY STUFF. THAT MEANS SOME COOL MORNINGS. PLEASANT AFTERNOONS. WE’RE GOING TO BE A LITTLE CLOSER TO 70 DEGREES ON SUNDAY. LOOKING GREAT FOR YOUR WEEKEND IN THE TROPICS. WE HAVE A BRAND NEW TROPICAL DEPRESSION. THIS IS TD NUMBER SEVEN. IT IS FORECAST TO BECOME TROPICAL STORM GABRIELLE HERE IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS. AND THEN STRENGTHEN INTO A HURRICANE. IT DOES LOOK LIKE IT’S GOING TO GO NORTH OF THE CARIBBEAN ISLANDS HERE, BUT IT MAY COME CLOSE TO BERMUDA EARLY NEXT WEEK. SO WATCHING THAT FOR BERMUDA, IT SHOULD STAY WELL OFFSHORE OFF THE EASTERN SEABOARD. SO LIKELY NOTHING MORE THAN ROUGH SEAS AND A RIP CURRENT RISK ALONG THE EAST COAST. WE’LL BE WATCHING THAT INTO NEXT WEEK THOUGH. AND YOU CAN SEE AFTER A COOL DOWN THIS WEEKEND, IT WARMS UP AGAIN. WE’RE GOING TO
