we're watching the remnants of hurricane patricia as they get closer to our area. right now though, we're talking about dry conditions both monday and tuesday. but rain chances go up and are very high on wednesday as well as on thursday. there's a low risk of some rain left over from this system. so here is the remnants of patricia. there's tornado watches up for parts of south eastern united states and all this moisture lifting closer to us. and we really do welcome the rain. we really do need the rain but as of from wednesday to thursday afternoon, we could see anywhere from an inch to about two inches from this system. it's not just the rain. it's also the wind associated with this. now we do need the rain, as i said, because we are under a moderate drought you see in these areas in tan. down near eight inches for boston. down to about 7.5 inches for worcester for the year. so we're welcoming in the rain. the other thing that's going to happen with this system is temperatures are going to nose

so we're talking 60 by wednesday. 66 degrees on thursday. we should be running around 58 degrees this time of year so today and tomorrow running below average. definitely grab a coat if you're headed out right now. 36 worcester. 30 keene. mid 40's in boston and for today we're going to warm up into the lower 50's to a few upper 40's. as we head towards tonight with clear skies, temperatures really drop off back into the 20's and 30's. so it's a chilly start tomorrow. and then with more sunshine, temperatures should warm back up because those winds then turn to the south into the mid 50's which we will take because we really do need that sunshine. so the next seven days, we're dry both monday and tuesday. then we watch the rain coming in on wednesday from patricia. let me show you this, the timing, that is, for the remnants. notice by 2:00 we're start to go see those showers out there especially worcester county and points west. but everybody sees the rain by

there could be heavy downpours for the ride home as well as through the evening hours. we're looking for 1-2 inches of rain. gusty winds and there could even be some minor coastal flooding. behind this though, we're still warm on thursday for the pats game looking good. it should dry out by then. over the weekend we start to cool off just in time for halloween and daylight savings. jeff: maybe solar glare this morning. danielle: maybe. jeff: it will be a busy morning on the roads. it's monday which always means extra heavy volume. we're looking at the lower deck of 93 and the zakim bridge coming in toward the city. it's a fairly nice ride at this point. the leverett connector here in the foreground also moving. in very good shape. there will be a lot of traffic out there this morning. hopefully it will remain incident free. no incidents to talk about on the area maps this morning. let's look at drive times. still only 11 minutes from 128 down to boston on 93 southbound coming on down across the lower deck. metro west that turnpike is still in pretty good shape. only 15 minutes or so for that ride.

that is why we see that northwest wind and why things will stay cool not only for today but also for tomorrow. and then we are watching this area down here. you can see a lot of rain associated with this. this is the remnants of hurricane patricia. all of this is headed in our direction. as we go through the next couple of days, we are dry. the rain chances go up on wednesday. we'll time everything out for you ahead. jeff: good morning, danielle. it will be a busy morning. we expect that to be the case. heavier volume coming up the northbound side of the expressway. not a problem yet but it will be busier and slower for the overall commute this morning. a crash being reported on route 24. this is on the northbound side near route 44 through the raynham stretch. that's supposed to be in the left hand travel lane. hopefully not too serious. if you travel on 495 through littleton around route 2 there are waving crews out there. that may slow down as well. hopefully they'll be off the roadway before we hit critical mass later this morning. on the expressway only 10 minutes.

that will quickly build up and get slower. the drive on the turnpike looks good as well. emily, back to you. emily: jeff, thank you. breaking overnight. at least five people are dead after a whale watch boat sank off the coast of vancouver. canadian authorities say one person is still missing. witnesses say the weather was clear and the water calm at the time of the tragedy. randy: also breaking overnight. saugus police are searching for a hit-and-run driver. it happened on route 1 just after 11:00 last night. witnesses say the man was hit by a mercedes, but the description of the car was vague. it's not clear how badly he was hurt. emily: right now investigators are closing in on what might have sparked this huge house explosion in taunton. the fire marshal tells us the incident on christine lane was gas-related. the homeowner was able to escape unhurt. randy: right now a woman is prepared to face a judge accused in the shooting death of this man, her uncle. family members still trying to figure out how it happened. emily: the eyeopener's sera congi is live outside the
