between the 8th and the 13th, 14th and 15th. but still talking about above average month. the second half we have what couple colder than normal days. today above average. look at the temperatures out the door right now. it's 44 degrees in the city of boston. 27 in keene where the winds are lighter. 45 to 50 for most us in eastern massachusetts. the sun is going to be shining this morning but enjoy it while it last. look at the front i am tracking. the rain is with it and clouds sharp as they advance into the berkshires. this front is a leading edge of colder air. so we drop from the 40s to the 30s to the 20s to the single digits and there's another front into the great lakes and there's two kind of shots of cooler air coming in. and it will reenforce more normal temperatures as we head into the day tomorrow. so hour by hour let's start with the afternoon. notice the clouds advance quickly by late morning and early day. some of the moisture will lose

can't rule out a passing shower through midday to early evening but notice we are going to be clearing north and west of town and the greater risk of hanging onto one of the showers will be through early evening from the south shore back to the cape and we too clear the skies out as well. temperatures 55 to 60. we did it yesterday and will do it again today. in fact some of us will come shyor hit the 60 degree mark. clouds move in and the wind you will notice like yesterday a little active. it is this morning. out of of the west southwest. it will gust at times up to 30 miles per hour. middle to upper 50s from plymouth to taunton and greater ris being a of shower from mid afternoon to the early evening on cape cod. mainly clear tonight though. just a couple passing clouds. that's about it. and 25 to 30 in the suburbs and it will be about 32 in boston. so tomorrow morning will be a colder start to the day. and a cold are day overall. partly cloudy skies. 42 degrees is pretty normal for

feel a little cooler just because we have been so mild. thank there i there won't be much wind tomorrow. move in. storm. it may be just cold enough but i mean just cold enough for a rain. the route 2 corridor southwest new hampshire briefly after midnight tomorrow night then it's all rain and that rain comes down at a pretty good clip for wednesday morn's -- morning's commute and tapering off during the second half of the day on wednesday. then colder air comes in behind that. so to end the week we will only be in the 30s snow shower possible on friday and maybe into saturday too we will see if that amounts to anything more. weep keep a close eye on that up to 40 by sunday. traffic and weather together robi has a look. >> reporter: most reported backups are to the south of the city right now. first bumper to bumper ride 128
