here the next several days and a warming trend coming our way by thanksgiving. so look forward to that as you step out into this, this morning. teens and 20's in the suburbs. we're at 18 in taunton. 16 in norwood. as cold as 15 right now in orange. it was down to 13 last hour. 23 worcester. 30 right now in boston. and your 12-hour forecast holds us around 30 degrees for the next couple of hours. by 9:00 a.m. we're up over the freezing mark. 40 degree here by noontime. sunshine all the way today. that really is the key to today because as you go through the day, winds will be coming out of the west. they're generally at or below 10 miles an hour. compare that to yesterday when they're gusting 20-30 miles per hour. you are going to notice the difference. you've got high pressure nosing in right now. it's keeping some of this cloud cover and snow shower activity off to our west. during the afternoon, a couple of these clouds may sneak in. overall it's a mostly sunny afternoon. coming up to 41 for the high in worcester. 44 in boston. an average high is 49. we're a little bit below the

average again today with low to mid 40's on cape cod as well. we stay mainly clear tonight. down in the low 20's in our coldest suburbs. tomorrow is is a dry day. still lots of sun shiefn but still cool temperatures running in the 40's as high pressure remains in control. that is keeping the weather dry up and down the eastern seaboard. storm coming out of the pacific northwest will spread in some rain from chicago to st. louis to dallas. if you're traveling coming up tomorrow and do notice there will be some snow on the backside of it. that system takes all week long to come towards us. before it gets here, we warm it up into the lower 50's on thanksgiving. black friday should be up around 60 degrees in the afternoon. as we get towards friday night here come that frontal boundary. you can see there will be just a few showers associated with it. most of those come through early in the day on saturday. then behind it, it will cool down. so from 60 on friday and 50's on saturday, we're back down into the 40's sunday into monday. last year around thanksgiving we had couple of inches of snow. olessa: don't even say that word.

cindy: certainly a lot easier to take this weather. olessa: we're watching one incident north of town. let's get to the cameras. there's a live look. southbound head to go the bette om of the screen. so far it's a fairly quiet start with that volume starting to pick up. let's check the rest of your ride. as you travel north we're watching one accident 93 southbound over by dascomb road. expect delays heading into andover. once you get past that crash you're in pretty good shape. the volume picks up near concord street to spot pond and then again approaching the leverett connector. pike eastbound only 15 minutes 495 to 128. and then south of town you've got those delays on 24 from expressway. almost 30 minutes braintree to boston. trains and buses still on randy? randy: thank you. so far so good this year. after the massive snowfall last year, what are we in for now? cindy: what could we possibly be in for this year? weather expert, judah cohen, got his prediction right last year. this time around, he tells us cohen: the strongest el nino

since '97-'98. i think it is a big factor. cindy: but that's not the only factor. tonight at 11:00, cohen and harvey leonard lay out the winter weather predictions even the total amount of snow cohen thinks we'll see. looking forward to that. erika? erika: 6:18 right now. economic headlines this morning. ford is recalling more than 450,000 cars because of a potential fuel leak. the recall includes 2010 and 2011 ford fusion and mercury milan models all built at the plant in mexico. ford says the vehicles have a canister purge valve that may malfunction and cause a crack in the fuel tank. that could eventually spark a fire. ford says it is not aware of any asian stocks are lower this morning amid slumping commodity right now, dow futures are lower on wall street after stocks failed to hold early gains yesterday. the dow dropped 31 points at yesterday's close. dell is admitting to a security
