mid 40's as well. keep in mind an average high this time of year is closer to 50. about 49. so cooler than average with high pressure in control. you can see off to the west, there is that storm as we head into the day on wednesday. again no travel problems up and down the eastern seaboard on wednesday. thursday we will see a little bit more cloud cover but it is still a dry day. for those football games in the morning, i think temperatures in the 30's to right around 40 degrees. we warm up into the 50's though in the afternoon and clear skies as you're heading home. temperatures in the 40's. so overall pretty quiet around here on thursday. we warm up on friday. our next chance of wet weather comes in friday night and saturday as high pressure sits now to our east. we'll have that warmer, southerly flow. mild out ahead of it. on friday i think we'll be in the 60-degree range and still around 50 on saturday with some showers in the morning and then as that front goes on through, i think we're cooling it down. you can see that there on sunday back down into the mid 40's. hey, another run at 60 here by the end of the week. really no big issues for us but traveling coming in from the

midwest to the west that's when we will have some concerns. olessa: after this morning's temperature i'm looking forward to that. thank you, cindy. a quiet start on the roads. allston/brighton eastbound move to go the top of the screen. it's a quite ride in both dresses. let's get over to the maps and check the rest of that trip. we're watching that overnight construction still in place early this morning if you're traveling 93 southbound approaching the zakim bridge. that will be picking up in the next 20 minutes or so. as you head past that expressway northbound by mass avenue there's construction in place there as well. and then farther south from there 95 northbound the ramps to 128 as well as on 128 approaching 95. construction also clearing near great plain avenue on 128 and then we're watching that last project here over by winter street on 128 northbound. one last construction zone picking up shortly as well. over by route 2 on both sides of 128. so far we're expecting the trains and the buses to start the morning on schedule. randy? randy: thank you. sky 5 over a whale stranded in kingston. the beached minke whale did get pulled back into the water by the high tide yesterday, but new
