massachusetts with the biggest rain totals. they are certainly seeing some improvements there with the category moving to severe instead of, excuse me, moderate instead of severe and towards the islands that we'll get to be dry. in fact new hampshire has a 16- inch rainfall deficit just this year. nantucket has seen above average rain. when you look at their comparison, this is the worse quality gore -- the cape being in one of the worse categories to the moderate drought. at least helping out a little bit, but not a lot of rain going forward i would say. a couple of showers are moving through. that will be about it. if anything a couple hundreds of an inch of rainfall. they are bringing in colder air. today was nice and mild and many towns topped 70. still in the upper 60s for most of us. pittsfield at 53. we are going to crash back through the 40s tonight and the winds will pick up to move

that will usher in much more chilly air as we look late tonight and into the day tomorrow. all the while, hurricane nicole is passing by bermuda and they will stay out to sea. overnight tonight, coldest to the north and the west and mildest towards the cape. overnight lows in the upper 40s to the 50s. the wind will make it feel colder with a very brisk morning tomorrow. plan on having a decent jacket on. looking at temps in the 40s, plus that north-northwesterly breeze. all told that it will be those days when you have the bright blue skies and the puffy cumulus clouds and temperatures. very brisk autumn day. the 50s to the 60s. our sunset is at 6:03, which means that it will be the last friday night sunset after 6:00 until next spring. soak it up. taking a look at the high temps tomorrow, mainly upper 50s to the lower 60s. just a little cool for this time of the year. tomorrow night the winds will go quiet and with that we are going to have very cold temperatures out there. now the weather service doesn't issue anymore frost advisories, which is why you don't see them to the west.

saturday morning and i think that we will probably avoid a freeze near the coast and the cape. but if you have not seen that killing frost yet, friday night is looking pretty likely. after that we've got the full sun with a beautiful saturday, no issues for outdoor plants. and sunday as the winds will turn more southwesterly again, we'll warm up with a chance topping at 70 degrees on sunday afternoon. so it will be a great fall weekend with a lot of festivals and walks and charity events. looks like 60 degrees on saturday and less wind sunday. just topping 70 with some increasing cloud covers that will move in. in terms of fall color it is peaking across new england and in the berkshires so you don't need to go far. we will start moving past peak after this weekend with the highest elevations. if you are moving north towards the lake regions of the mountains, mid-50s on wednesday and then low 60s on sunday. a great paradise. here is your accuweather seven-day forecast, next week mild, a few 70s. rain showers on monday.

with an on shore flow. we might make a run for 80 on wednesday next week, which is rather rare for mid-october. back to you. >> back to summer. thank you so much. on the health watch today, some new questions about those values of routine mammograms. are they being oversold? and why parenting, get this, may seem more stressful for mom. that story for both moms and dads that don't want to miss. let's bring marshall. >> yes, let's talk about mammograms as we want to be clear. we're not suggesting that women not get their mammograms, but a new long-term analysis in the new england journal of medicine basically says that they overdiagnosis breast tumors more than detecting cancers that are dangerous. we know that the overdiagnosis could lead to overtreatment. so investigators looked at data on women over 40 both before and after widespread screening

third of that is due to screening mammograms. the government task force currently recommends women get screened starting at 50, twice a year. who is happier, moms or dads? a new study suggests, of course, moms are getting the short end of the stick. researchers collected data from thousands of parents about their feelings whil day. they found mothers are less happy, more stressed, more fatigued than fathers during their time with their children. and while there are exceptions, married moms tend to handle those basic childcare duties like laundry, meal prep. while married dads will see their play time and recreation, which of course could be more relaxing and rewarding. now the good news is men and women, moms and dads both enjoy

them, but perhaps mom should get a little more than what they are getting. >> we have seven children between us. >> right. >> you have seven children. >> between the two of us, we could attest to the fact that you need to ask dad to help and they will. >> a lot of them will. they just need to be lead to water, right? >> and when mom is happy everybody is happy. >> that's right. >> my lips are sealed, i'm pleading the fifth. up next, how does it feel? bob dylan with and one oscar. today, the greatest award of all. coming up all new at 6:00 a cruise ship hits some trouble on the cape. that's not good, the ship that came a little too close to a local bridge. we are following some breaking news tonight. two officers were shot during an exchange of gunfire overnight in boston. we have an update on their conditions and what we have
