6:45 am
and really it's north and west, i think, of boston. and then it is a mild start as we enter the month of november with temperatures surging into the 60's and maybe pushing near 70 degrees by tuesday. look at this temperature trend. today we're below normal but by sunday at 60, by monday 62 and by tuesday 65 but again some areas could be near 70 degrees. we should be running around 57 this time of year. we'll take it. this morning though if you're stepping outside the door right now, you want to grab a coat especially the farther north and west you go. look at concord checking in at 29 degrees. keene 27. orange 25. boston at 39 and nantucket at 40 degrees so there's going to be some frost out there. it will take a little time to defrost your windows on your car this morning. we'll have lots of sunshine through lunchtime. warming up to right around 50 degrees by lunchtime. through the afternoon low to mid 50's. and then we'll start to see clouds increase from our next
6:46 am
storm system. but here are the highs across the area. you can see low 50's through orange and worcester. mid 50's down along the north shore, south shore, and even the cape and the islands. now high pressure is dominating our weather, keeping us dry. also has a lot of dry air in place. out ahead of our next system which is coming. you can see some showers over the great lakes region. as they get here, it's going to be hard to get these showers to actually make it to the ground. that's why i'm saying really it's hit or miss with the best chances the farther north and west you go. timeline for the rain looks like this. notice today we are dry through about lunchtime with lots of sunshine. clouds increase through the afternoon for the trick or treaters it's still dry. the clouds will act like a blanket and keep temperatures from falling so much through the evening hours for all the trick or treaters. by midnight when you're wrapping things up, here comes the showers but they're still well out to the north and west. the rain doesn't make it to us
6:47 am
early, you know, midday or so. 50-40 degrees for all the trick or treaters. the winds shift to go the south and west at about 5-10. overnight lows really dropping into the upper 30's, low to mid 40, so not as cool as this morning. one thing to do tonight and maybe you parents wil like this, you fall back which means you get an extra hour of sleep. the other thing that happens when you turn the clocks back, that sunset time, tomorrow night the sunset is at 4:38. big changes unfortunately coming and then temperatures tomorrow with some sunshine and some clouds reach into the upper 50's and low 60's. i do want to talk about though that rain chance tomorrow. notice it's on the future cast. really it's hit or miss northern and western areas by 10:00. western mass seeing it. the cape could see it around 12:00 or so. and then we start to clear things out through the afternoon. we have a dry forecast in store for the rest of the workweek and then temperatures warm up into
