in the suburbs, just 40 degrees

randy: i have two left feed. cindy: yesterday we overachieved. and got to 73 in boston. early september weather, not november weather. you're looking across the country and think it's got to be cold somewhere. it is in canada. and notice out in the northwest corner of the country, these are forecast highs and where we have 40's and 50's which you might expect in november and where the jet stream is kind of taking a dip southward allowing the colder air to drain down. the rest of the country enjoying the mild temperatures overall and will be the case

what we will notice today are lighter winds so that means a sea breeze developing at the coastline so not quite as warm as it was yesterday but we'll be back near record highs by friday and then it will cool down over the weekend but it's not going to last. next week it looks like we'll build the ridge in the jet stream again. overall a mild temperature trend. 42 in beverly and if you're headed out in bedford, lower 30's towards orange so again you'll want that jacket with you out the door and shed it as we get into the afternoon and the temperatures warm up nicely. 52 out the door in worcester. look at the cold pockets in norwood and taunton in the 30's and lower 50's this morning on cape cod. skies are clear and we'll enjoy a lot of sunshine again today. the high pressure is building in on top of us and why the winds will be so light and why we'll see the sea breeze. the warmer air has been pushed temporarily to the south and west and underneath the warm front and will come back temperatures will pick up a little bit tomorrow.

upper 60's tomorrow, more clouds but should be dry. on friday morning, you're waking up to clouds and maybe a spot shower through mid morning and during the midday hours, see what happens to the cloud, they break up a little bit and that could send us near those record high temperatures but late in the day, a cold front approaches and winds kick up and there could be a brief passing shower friday evening but that front does usher in the colder air so by saturday it's near 60 but a good amount of sunshine over your weekend. sunday is the colder weekend day near 50 and then we're starting along the temperatures up front again. the cooldown coming this weekend doesn't last and we're back to 60 degrees by tuesday. emily: why do i feel we'll pay for it later? cindy: we paid for if last winder. -- winter. emily: cindy: a live look at route 1. you see traffic is still nice and light in both directions. let's get to the map with overnight construction, 93 south approaching the zakim bridge and two projects cleared
