and mixings out around 72 or so and into the mid-70s farther inland and in spite of the cloud cover and the sunshine should benetrait through it and temperatures in the 50s and to near 60 degrees and some are upper 40s in the valleys and like in the connecticut receiver valley and it's free. at the observatory, they can see 120 miles and what a weekend to be up camping, mountain climbing and hiking up there. it's going to be grand and shouldn't be any -- weather up there compared to what is going on here and the temperatures crossing the northeast, these are the dew points and reflective of very slow humidity and dry air out there and that is going to be quite pleasant intos weekend. the higher humidity is coming in the next few days as hermine takes shape and comes in from the south-southeast and it will get muggier into m tuesday, and -- monday, tuesday and in fact,

dryest days and this is that high cloudiness over the region and it appears that some of this, a lot of this is going to head eastward and we're going to see the cloud cover then out and become just scattered clouds or nice later on and as this thins out and moves on. and that is part of the high cloud shield and does not mean the storm is going out to sea, even though it's moving in that direction and we're seeing the high cloudiness come up here and temperaturesto 70sbland and lower 70s along the coast and the breeze is onshore up to 15 miles per hour and into the cape this afternoon. ands for the thing tonight and tomorrow morning, it backs in on us and rain bands will pivot into the northwest. and i think it's going to be more widespread and that is into monday morning and raining over southeastern massachusetts and rhode island by monday morning and expand into the rest of the area with the winds and rain coming up from hermine and with tropical storm

new england yet. and it's moving fast off of the east-northeast and moving along at 20 or more miles per hour and that is going to run into a block out here and as we have been talking about for days and days, it's going to spin on the other hand and by thursday, it might be there and eventually, the bands of rain, the spiral bands have to of on the in here and they'll be peeling off like this and spots and the seas are building here and with rough surf and so on and so forth. the winds may go up to 30 to 50 miles an hour in southern new england, especially along the coast and looks like the rain is around on tuesday and still windy but not as windy as monday and maybeta a damp start on wednesday and with a drizzle and fog and becoming partly sunny and might go to 82

degrees on thursday and friday and go be to being a hot and warm air mass over under the circumstance and it's going to be hot. >> and good, i have a couple more canon balls left in me. thank you. and it's 7:23 now. a hug that says more than words can and what brought two families together. still ahead this morning.

around and noose out there this morning. we have to do something about the extreme drought and would be nice to get good tropical rains and beneficial rains from the tropical system and hopefully we'll get rain bands moving in and weather is going to be productive and remains to be seen and probably not that productive or as it's been down the coast line. some places picked up 5 and 10 inches of rain out of this as the storm swirls northeastward and what we're seeing is outflow cirrous standing up in new england and contributing to the nice sunset and sunrise in many locations this morning and this is fenway park and we see a lot of cloud cover and the sun is penetrating a bit and the sun is 60 degrees at fenway and no games. the sox are out of town and won't be back until august, september 12th and into the north, seeing 50s and a couple of 40s showing up here and

autumnal warning and to a few lower 60s and that should be going up today into the low and mid-70s. the dew points declined nice and comfortable air out there and closer to the mid-70s and not as warm as yesterday and the low cooled off in the afternoon and as that sea breeze freshens. the lows will be back about right where they are this morning in the 50s and lower 60s in urban centers and a few 70 to 72 and that should be about it and i don't think that is going to be higher than that and we have this coming over and it looks bad here and in placings, it's thin so the sun is shining through and completely an overcast and the sun is dimmed and blotted out completely almost. and that is shifting this way and that is up here now, shifting. watch this and moves eastward and we get out of it and it starts to then out in western

and may not that much and it will get to a certain point and back in on us gan and start tomorrow morning or late tonight, tomorrow morning and the rain bands are going to start to pivot our way as well and the storm south of us does a loop and as it loops our way, the bands will pivot around it and we look for the rain and wind to get here and warnings and watches up the coast, on the coast line to the south of us and this storm goes out and moves out quickly and that stall and loop around. and may intensify and it's possible it can regain tropical characteristics and become a hurricane and in the next 24 hours and that is going to dump a lot of rain in here. the bands may move in here and give us winds up to 30 to 50 miles per hour tomorrow night and on monday, especially southeastern massachusetts and the cape. the seas will build and will be rough surf and some beach erosion and that sort of thing.

the next 24 hours and wet on tuesday and not quite as windy and possibly hot near the end of next week and that is it for now. and more to come and light look at what is ahead on this week's centro. >> i'm debbie. coming up, we feature a, b, c, d, a nap profit organization unlike any other and we'll
