-- dangerous and to drive in. we were seeing lightning flashes but that subsided and we will bring you live pictures in half-hour but the good news for residents here in marshfield just under 2,000 customers without power. they are working towards that completely. >> thanks very much. you can see from the video there we have lots of reports of downed trees and tree limbs as well. >> let's get to susie steimle live in dorchester where the damage -- with the damage there. hi susie. >> reporter: hi. as mother nature dials it back at least where we are standing in dorchester, we are able to observe some of the damage overnight. there's still a little bit of wind and rain but nothing like the extremes we saw earlier. and this is milton avenue in dorchester one of the most impressive pictures of the storm. and thankfully we can say no one was hurt. you can see this tree a massive tree that was right next to this home on milton avenue. snapped overnight hit part of the gutter going down and they

i think that's right and it's wild overnight into early this morning too. so, the severe weather threat is done. we are still tracking a couple downpours that are out there right now. but there's nothing severe and the downpours are focused south of boston. there's a little light rain in the city but downpours through hingham and stretching into waim south so when we get towards the coast near west augusta beach towards cohassen and marshfield deeper yellows and oranges and reds is where the heaviest rain is moving through. lightning tracker is on this zero right now. there's no lightning with these just torrential downpours. east of 495 coming back up on the east side, southeast side of mansfield the deeper reds indicating the heavy rain. chatham orleans getting out of it but nantucket back into it right now. these will all be shifting to the east northeast. that's been the motion of all of this this morning.

downpours probably likely from brockton back up through south of boston near dorchester and the rainfall totals have been impressive. the line of thunderstorms came through overnight. 3.9 inches of rain that's in a short period of time. see the totals and you understand why there have been areas of flooding and standing watt they are morning. nashua 1.68. and lexington a inch of rain. thanks to weather watchers for a lot of those reports. hour by hour here's where we go from here. notice the sun breaks out. it is all about the cleanup at this point. any leftover showers that exit the outer cape by late morning. later today a couple of additional showers that crop up especially outside 495 through early afternoon. and then into the evening, a couple showers as well but it's not big weather a band shifts

the wind was mild overnight and that caused cadge. tam -- damage. pamela gardner is standing by and there's been a lot of damage report. >> wind gusts incredible. and we have gusty wind that live look and no lightning on the horizon. it was crazy overnight in that -- and the lightning was incredible a few strikes reported by the storm reports really starting to roll in as folks are waking up going outside and assessing what happened overnight. to make -- jamaica plain reports of a tree down at 4:42 this morning from the storm action last night. prior to 4 a.m. melrose numerous tree limbs down reported and even to lynn a large branch and wires on the roads and be cautious out there if you are driving. boston a wind gusts of 69 miles per hour at 2:43 a.m. this morning. and the winds are starting to somebody side just a bit at least nothing severe. severe gusts of 58 miles per hour or greater that's the criteria for severe thunderstorm warning.

however, things could still amplify a bit. at least advisory criteria through 7 p.m. today. 40 to 50-mile-per-hour gusts coming in from the south. so danielle ice lighted power outages for today but thankfully things become quiet the next couple days. >> we are entering a stretch that will be quieter for the week and weekend. leftover shower but clearing tonight and tonight looks nice but it will be a completely different feel no 50s and 60s. 30s for highs and blustery gusty northwest wind not damaging tomorrow but it will add a chill to the air. real feel is probably in the 20s tomorrow afternoon and no weather related issues and as we head into the weekend we will watch the cold front in eastern canada. what happens for us is we are on the warmer side. so saturday will still be a little on the chilly side relatively speaking. right around or shy of 40. but on sunday, that front puts the brakes on. slowing down in eastern canada and keeps us on the warm side.

heading into sunday. speaking of 50s we will be there today and we drop a few more degrees. upper 50s in the afternoon. tonight, we manage to drop back into the 30s. right around the freezing mark so some maybe asking what about patchy ice with the leftover water. the wind today is going to help us out. believe it or not because it dries out the road so i can't rule out a icy patch or two but i don't think it will be that widespread. tomorrow, blustery and much colder. plenty of sunshine but highs in the upper 30s and this weekend, we will feature warming trend 50 on sunday and into the 50s on monday with a couple isolated showers. that's the cold front cools us off into the 40s for tuesday and wednesday. traffic and weather together robi. >> reporter: hearing about two accidents on the same stretch of route 2. let's look at the map. both crashs are on route 2 eastbound. one in harvard blocking the left lane. the backup is to shirley and then another left lane crash in devons at jackson road so
