of year. getting darker a touch earlier. want to talk about the drought with an update this morning that comes out every thursday morning and these are the latest conditions. this is a hyper local drought and it's confined to southern new england and southeastern new hampshire and york county and maine. the worst conditions, metro boston, swinging to the south shore and essex county and rockingham where we have the biggest rainfall departures for the year, and boston every shower and storm nature has tried to push through the area, only 3" going back to june 1. with just a bit to go, this could be the driest summer every recorded in the city and that goes back to 1872. the forecast going forward doesn't do us many favors, a slight chance of a shower on sunday but a few scattered showers and downpours on monday and that's it for the rain for the next 10 days. the drought will stay a story for us. take a look at the current radar.

northern worcester, not expecting a lot out of that and most will be dissipating over the next hour and another warm day, 89 in boston, just shy of 90 and well above average for this time of year and 86 at gillette stadium where we stand. a couple of cumulus clouds on the weatherbug network. a comfortable air mass, 80s and 70s but no widespread 90s, a good th humidity is manageable and dew points in the 50s and lower 60s and real, oppressive, nasty humidity from last week has been shunted off to our south and will stay there. hour by hour, any of the showers will be dissipating quickly. tomorrow, a nice blend of sun and cloud cover, and then as we move towards saturday, i think if we get cloud cover developing, it will stay in mainly western new england, giving us more sunshine.

mild, and as we look to tomorrow, partly sunny kais and upper 60s, midday, bright and beautiful and low 80s and a sea breeze will develop. a touch cooler at the coastline and well in the 80s inland and not too much wind as we wrap up today. 88 in manchester, lawrence, and bedford, the lucky number and 84 in worcester and boston, right around or shy of 80 with the wind staying on shore. ready for the beach? shore wind, temps in the upper 70s to lower 80s and beautiful weather along the coastline. a look at the ac cue weather 7 day this weekend, 80s and 79 at the coast. we have a chance of downpours on monday. hoping to squeeze the rain but drought begats drought. every time it looks like rain, it's like lucy taking the
