morning show with chris. >> thank you i love you too barry you are the best. >> thank you. what am i chopped liver? >> not bad chris not bad at all. anyway let's see what's happening this morning. good morning, we have temperatures now in the 50s in the suburbs and lower 60s around. oh, man, it's friday and great to be having it friday. isn't it. down to the south we have 50s here too. and 60s on cape cod. a beautifu dried out nicely and we have the dew points in the 50s now. and it's fantastic. it would be nice to stay nice and sunny all weekend long as much as we need the rain, but a lot of people have plans for the weekend but you may have to change some plans for labor day. there shouldn't be rain around until sunday night or monday. so these are the current temperatures. the highs for today should be mostly in the mid-70s. between 75 and 78 should do it in many locations a couple coastal spots might be lower.

basically clear and once we have sunrise at 6 and 11 in an hour sunshine this morning and we will have patches of clouds developing and there could be some scattered very isolated showers this afternoon. can't rule it out. so when i say rain i mean most places not getting much rain today. and rain from the storm wouldn't happen until late sunday and monday. tomorrow high cloudiness will come up from the south. we will see some of that trying to thicken northward but most of it is going to be thin just a few streamers here in boston area north. but thicker high cloudiness to the south during tomorrow that's the outskirts of the storm to the south. so the storm is down here near tallahassee and it's about 50 miles to the northeast of tallahassee and now it's now a tropical storm and it's been downgraded and it's now you can see a pretty good signature with the spiral bands of rain spinning around and thunderstorms as well. this is all moving in

across the east coast through north carolina. then a tropical storm watch from there up through new jersey. but nothing in new england to be concerned about right now. there's going to be that plume of heavy rain coming all the way up in the eastern seaboard and then hobbing offshore and a lot of rain just offshore as the storm spins and spins and spins like almost like forever for three or four days it's going to be wobbling and looping around and rotating and some of spin into southern new england and that's most likely to happen monday. as it comes up we get a spiral band and periods of heavy rain on monday of the leftover showers on tuesday and we will have certainly high seas rough surf and northeast gales of 20 to 45. periods of rain sprinkles and light showers in spots but other places gets some of the shafts of rain coming onshore. so the main will be rough seas and erosion and less of a impact is heavy rain.

extreme southern new england but not much boston to the northwest of boston. and damaging wind and coastal flooding. we impact that with a number one on that as opposed to three for the coastal erosion. the rain will be monday, leftover showers tuesday warming up next week. one week from today it may be 90. and that's it. back to you with traffic breana. >> reporter: we are not expecting it to be a busy morning traffic wise. it's holiday weekend and people probably already took the day off. we are cheg it's smooth sailing into boston. route 9 is wide open as well and so is route 2. to the south no problems on 24 north or route 3 and nothing to slow you down on the expressway. and the t and commuter rail are running on time. kate. >> looking good thank you. move in madness as manycollege stood us -- students are getting into the news apartments. inspectional services were out in full force handing out pamphlets and informing renters
