6:17 am
it's a warming trend on the way. but we have to get through this morning so if you're stepping outside the door right now, that cold air will wake you up. we're starting in the 0's in springfield. concord, keene, as well as temperatures in the 40's in boston. mid 50's though along the cape as well as the islands. we do have frost advisories out just west of worcester county and western mass until 8:00 a.m. so hopefully you'll bring the plans inside. one of the reasons we're seeing frost is because temperatures are dropping overnight. clear skies and also calming winds. but now beginning to see more clouds kind of pack on in. we'll see clouds, i think, this morning. but a lot more sunshine by afternoon as high pressure really dominates our weather. we are watching this system down to the south. unfortunately bringing more rain to the carolinas. they do not need any more rain. this is our next big weather-maker bringing you some showers beginning overnight monday into first thing tuesday so we'll talk about that in just a second. but first let's talk about the
6:18 am
sunshine this afternoon. and temperatures warming up into the upper 60's and lower 70's. and then tonight it will be a little bit milder than last night with temperatures in the mid 40's, low 50's in boston, lower 50's on the cape as well. those winds out of the south and west at about 5-10. we can't rule out some patchy fog once again tomorrow morning. but since we're starting out more mild, temperatures tomorrow make a big jump up into the mid 70's in boston, a few upper 70's near lawrence, nashua, and we may see slightly cool at the coastline, the cape and the islands. those winds could be coming off the water. with those winds out of the south at about 5-15 miles an hour. so what happens on monday is this. we're sunny once again. we are dry. it's a great day for columbus day. once we get towards 7:00, you're going to start to see some clouds increase from south to north associated with that area of low pressure. by midnight, there could be a couple of showers on the south coast and southeastern mass. then as we head towards tuesday
6:19 am
morning, this is the morning commute now we're looking at. heavy rain threw worcester county, through metro west. through boston. so it is going to be a wet one to start out at least your tuesday morning. and then through the afternoon, we're going to see additional chances from a cold front coming through. so when all is said and done, we could see two tenths to about half an inching of rain from this. not expecting too much rain. it's really just showers but i do want to talk about what happens behind this system because the jetstream has been up north of us. it will then dip farther to the south of us, allowing for cool, dry canadian air to push on in. so temperatures start to drop as we get towards wednesday. thursday they're in the 60's but as we get towards friday and saturday, unfortunately, temperatures relatey plummet. by saturday, we're talking highs in the low 50's. overnight lows in the 30's and 20's in some spots. antoinette: dang you. time is 6:19.
