in 1979, october 10 had a temperature that was freezing in boston and it actually snowed on that day as well. the average date is november 8 for the first freeze in boston. there is another look at boston tonight. notice the city starting to shake. that's good news and bad news. a little uncomfortable when it gets windy. this is going to be a milder wind coming from a warmer weather wind direction south-southwest. we're 45 now but pretty much part in boston. and look what's happened farther to the south where the south to southwest wind is gusting. it's jumped up into the low 50's so all of this indicates a milder day tomorrow. except it will be windy most especially on the cape where there is a wind advisory in effect. notice it is milder right now. middle of the country. still in the 60's in detroit and chicago. so there is really no choice but for the air to warm up compared to today. these low temperatures may not

so i think the readings you face in the morning will be in the 40's to around 50 degrees. think about that. this past morning most of us were in the teens and 20's. we shoot up into the 60's tomorrow. we won't have the benefit of full sun. there will be clouds around certainly at times. in fact the first wave of cloudiness coming in now. even a couple sprinkles trying to form across new hampshire but again just the chance of a sprinkle. i don't see much happening with that. now here's what happens. we turn significantly milder tomorrow. then a very weak front accompanied by some clouds but not much more than that crosses the region barely tomorrow night and wednesday. so it turns a little cooler wednesday compared to tomorrow but not nearly as chilly as what we had early this morning. and then thursday we're going to bounce right back into the warm air before a front from the west comes through along about thursday night and turns it noticeably chillier for friday. there are a lot of ups and downs in the temperature department. but no major storms. even though we have clouds around and then some breaks and

still more clouds around at times tuesday night, and wednesday, don't see much in the way of rainfall. couldn't rule out a brief sprinkle and maybe a shower or two thursday night or so when the next front comes through and then it does turn noticeably cooler. all right. check it out as we check out the next seven days for you. tomorrow breezy. windy on the cape. milder though. reaching the 60's. then on wednesday it's a little bit cooler and then thursday it's a little bit warmer. but the main idea over the next few days is the jet stream lifting up and allowing the mild air back in. by friday we're turning chillier again and then on the weekend looks like a great start on saturday. an increase in clouds on sunday depending on the timing of the next front. there could be a spot shower or two either sunday afternoon or night. but again, i don't see anything big with that. then it's back to colder weather monday but right now my early estimation is the temperature could be around 60 degrees or so for the start of

maybe a little milder. >> what a treat for fans. beautiful. >> the new "star wars" trailer has arrived. >> what it is. and is not revealing about the film tonight.
