50's the last several days. today is a little different though. unfortunately even though we're in the 40's this morning, we're only going to stay in the 40's through the afternoon. i would grab the coat and maybe the rain gear depending on where you live especially, let's say, south and east of i95 because that's where the rain is going to be working its way in. there are more chances for rain in the seven-day forecast. weaver going to talk about that. a very warm weekend though shaping up which we all love. an area of low pressure right those showers. we have high pressure in between giving us a dry day for wednesday and then this other area up to the north and west will give us our next chance for rain for everybody on thursday. it's very light in nature. here comes some steadier rain working its way on to nantucket, the vineyard, the cape. you're up next for some of this. as we go through the next couple of hours basically it's going to work its way up to the north. by, say, about lunchtime or so as far north as about 95. everybody north of 95, you're
5:14 am
you're still going to be cool. you're going to be breezy. but you're not necessarily going to see any rain which is a shame because we really could use it. now the rain should let up by the afternoon hours. then we'll start to clear things out as we head towards the overnight which does set up for a cool night in store. the other big story is those winds especially by the coastline. you can see out of the north-northeast at about 14 miles an hour now in plymouth. 16-mile-per-hour winds on nantucket. they will be strong, breezy, gusty to near 30 miles per hour on nantucket sustained about 15-20 through the afternoon. notice that rain real he'll lets up in chatham, should i say, at about 1:00 or so. and then we'll just have cloudy skies. right now it's 47 on the cape, if you can believe that. 50 on nantucket. but still back into the 30's and 20's through the merrimack valley. so it is cool in a lot of locations. and today really going to only warm up into the mid 40's for highs. tonight dropping back into the 20's and 30's.
5:15 am
with the mid 40's and mostly cloudy skies but again as i said before, it's a dry day. it's on thursday that we're watching our next system that could bring us a round of showers. we're going to watch another area of low pressure kind of come by our coastline and then watch this cold front. a few showers look likely on thursday. clouds though on friday. it's associated with a warm front. so what does that mean? well, the temperatures back into the 50's on thursday. and friday. and then ahead to the weekend 58 degrees saturday. sunday i know you're looking at 60 degrees. we could be near record high temperatures. olessa: unbelievable. doing christmas shopping and it's 60 degrees outside. danielle: if you hung those holiday lights, this weekend could be a weekend to do it. olessa: i was supposed to do that last weekend. all right. so far it's a quiet start on the roads for you this morning. there's a check of the expressway. that is by the south bay mall. the northbound side you can see heading toward the bottom of the screen. we're starting to build some of that volume. heading south of town, late-running construction still
5:16 am
let's get to the maps. first the roadwork all gone on 93 south at the zakim but this project is still out there. 95 northbound at 128 has two lanes blocked so expect those delays to remain a bit longer. eastbound on the pike you're good to go. route 9 no problems and 93 southbound so far wide open out of methuen all the way down to the leverett connector. trains and buses doing okay. emily. emily: thank you. the deflategate saga continues this morning. tom brady's legal team is firing back at the nfl's appeal. the 73-page document re-asserts the players' association belief that commissioner roger goodell denied brady his rights during the investigation and appeal and that judge richard berman got it right. the nfl wants a court of appeals to reinstate brady's four-game suspension. oral arguments are scheduled for march. randy: this miniature horse is recovering after he was shot in acushnet. this morning his owner is on a mission to save his life and get him a new leg. more than $2,000 has been donated to help max. his owner didn't realize the
5:17 am
at first. she thought he had been bitten by something. but when she took him to the vet a few days later, an x-ray revealed max had a bullet wound. >> the options are to put him down because he can't survive with three legs. that's just not right for him if it's not going to heal right and he's going to be in pain which we don't want to do. randy: so the plan is to get max a prosthetic leg. police are also investigating who shot the animal. it could have been a hunter who didn't realize what happened. emily: economic headlines this tuesday morning. asian stocks fell today as oil prices tumbled to an almost six-year low, rattling investors on wall street. energy companies hit the hardest. the dow lost 117 points. u.s. stock futures are down right now. a snag this morning for staples merger talks. the federal trade commission is trying to block the company's takeover of office depot. the f.t.c. says the deal would reduce competition in the office supplies market. staples is offering to buy rival

5:27 am
you can see them already starting to push on to the vineyard now. and nantucket. the cape, you're up next. the south coast, too, beginning to see some of these showers. and so the best bet for the steadier rain is really this dark green but anybody in the lighter green area could see some showers at least through the morning hours before it winds down this afternoon. so headed to the bus stop, it is cloudy in most spots today and cloudy and cool as you head home. how are those roads now this morning, olessa. olessa: so far we're in pretty good shape, danielle. a live look outside for you. the expressway near the south bay mall. you can see the northbound volume starting to pick up early this morning. let's go to the maz and check out the rest of that ride as you travel south of town. 95 northbound approaching 128. that will be gone shortly. in the meantime two lanes are still closed. the expressway looks good for now. then as you travel the pike and route 9, no major problems to report. north of town you're good to go. 9 southbound wide open out of methuen all the way down to the leverett connector. trains and buses running on dead you'll. emily. emily: olessa, thank you.
