we have going on. spectacular out there once again. when you have low humidity like we have and just a few clouds coming in, oh, you just get those great sunsets and that will happen over the next couple of days. as we get dry air moving in, chance of rain on friday is looking less and less each time. the raindrops will evaporate. they are thinning, setting up for the spectacular sunset. overnight, skies will be clearing away. with clear skies the temperatures will drop. boston dropping down to about 45. near the shoreline. into the mid-40s. but inland. this is where we'll see our coldest air. already tonight into the 30s. that's why when we start talking about on monday, the city of dropping dropping into the 30s we'll see some cold stuff off to the west. high temperatures tomorrow will look like this. no real warm spots or cold spots. just typical for this time of year. mid to lower 60s a few upper 50s showing up. and through the south shore, you're seeing 62 degrees in

ducks bury and 62 in attleboro. temperatures at the cape 50s. lots of sunshine. not as breezy as it was this afternoon. when we talk about the next wave of cold air coming in. as each of these weaves come in they shock the atmosphere but you have to have moisture to work with to get rain and it's pretty dry out there right now. we're not adding a whole lot of moisture. a few scattered shower are possible on friday. the big story. the coldest air of the season. this is on friday. and then as we look at saturday there is another disturbance that works through but it's cold enough at that point that as you up on the computer models, yes, that's a little bit of snow showing up. any accumulations but we might see pictures of that on monday as people look at what's going on. >> one thing they don't want this weekend is wind. remember the nor'easter that blew them out back in the 1990s. it will be a breezy weekend this weekend. not too much to cancel it but as far as the regatta is concerned, check out the temperatures, on the cool side and very windy. i think sunday is the windiest of the two days and there we can
