7:18 pm
so here's the way it looks tomorrow. our futurecast, 8:00 a.m., lots of sunshine. as we advance the clock into the amp, a few cloud out there but not really looking for any precip out of that. then once the sun goes down the skies will clear and that means another cold night coming our way. if you are headed to the bay to check out the head of the charles regatta, the only bad part is that wind is going to be a little bit gusty like it was this afternoon. 12 out of the northwest. monday morning if we don't get freezing conditions tonight we certainly will on sunday night into monday morning because look at these low temperatures, again back down into the 20's. we start to warm up a little bit and thursday we actually have a chance of seeing some rain in the forecast. it will be warmer before it gets here but there will be a chance of showers on thursday and in the morning and again in the amp hours.
