and notice the other thing here. there is going to be a lot of clouds out there today. but we will see some breaks of sunshine. already saturate with the clouds this morning. a couple of showers here developing off the ocean waters. but really not impacting our area. they're associated with this frontal boundary that is lift to go the north of us. we are in between high pressure and another area of low pressure. this one here is going to come through tomorrow and may trigger a shower or two in the afternoon. the other thing it's going to do is, of course, bring in that really, really warm air for tomorrow. for today, mid 40's in worcester. 50 degrees in boston. 50 on the south shore. upper 40's on the cape. it will be a mix of sun and clouds. tonight we only drop into the upper 30's, low 40's. it's a mild night on tap. could be some patchy areas of fog overnight, i think, into first thing tomorrow. and then tomorrow through the day with a very strong southwest wind which eventually turns to the northwest by the end of the day, but it takes a while.

the mid to upper 50's in most locations. with that, it's a warm front that is coming on through. bringing in the mild air but notice by monday morning, we're still dry but in the afternoon, there could be one or two showers. and then behind this, cooler air is going to move in. then we watch our next system here. this one is pretty big. it has a lot of moisture with it as it grabs some of that gulf of mexico moisture. we're going to see rain from this. we're on the warmer side of this which is good news but we could see anywhere from a half an inch to an inch in terms of rain totals. in fact, let me break that down for you on wednesday. as you look, we'll go through this. anywhere from a half an inch to pretty much an inch of rain will fall. there could be some embedded thunderstorms with this one. timing looks like mid morning into late afternoon, early evening. and of course flooding can't be ruled out. then as we look ahead towards the end of the week, we are watching this potential ocean storm on friday. right now latest models starting to track it more out to sea. so if anything, what it would

but the precipitation type is still in question because obviously it could be, you know, mixed precipitation or even just plain old rain, maybe even some snow showers depending on how close it gets. we may not see anything at all except for clouds from this one as it continues to track farther out to sea. of course, we're going to keep the latest with all those models as we watch them through the workweek. anyway you look at it though, by the end of the week we're back to feeling more like winter so enjoy this weekend into the beginning of the week. antoinette and doug. antoinette: we certainly will, danielle, thank you. it is 5:18. here's a check of other stories we're following right now. mosquito-borne zika virus is currently being developed research is also moving forward on other ways to defeat the virus. genetically engineered mosquitos could become the newest weapon to help reduce mosquito populations.

the area right now. we're going to keep the clouds in the forecast pretty much all day long. it will be a mix of sun and clouds. 39 in boston. winds are out of the south-southwest at about 13. that's creating a bit of a wind chill making it feel more like 31 degrees. as we go through the next 12 hours, this wind sticks with us. so yesterday was breezy. today it will also be breezy but those winds out of the south and west at 10-15 miles an hour. warming things up to 50 in boston, 50 in marshfield. 51 in taunton. you see a group of 50's there and even the upper 40's through the merrimack valley. so it's a warm one on tap. for tonight, we're only going to drop back into the 30's and 40's it's mild. there could be some low-level clouds developing, maybe some patchy areas of fog to start the day tomorrow. and the rain showers don't come in until, i think, after lunger time really into the early evening. the ride home from work could be wet in some locations but not everyone is going to see them. and as far as the temperatures go though, we're talking 56 in

55 on the south shore and 57 in lawrence. so it is warm out there. as this warm front lifts through the area. now this cold front is what triggers the showers and then behind it, we're going to turn slightly cooler as we head towards tuesday. so let's talk more about that rain for tomorrow. i do want to time it out for you. so as we head towards tonight, what is going to happen is we're going to see those rain showers or those clouds come in first thing tomorrow morning. really they hold off until about 8:00 or so. then watch what happens on the future cast. by about 4:00, it is starting to shower. it's mainly south and east of boston it looks like the best bet for those showers. then we clear out quickly on monday night into tuesday. now wednesday, there's going to be that chance for the rain and how much rain are we talking about? when all is said and done, anywhere from about a half an inch to an inch of rain. some embedded thunderstorms look likely and breezy conditions on wednesday. in fact, it could reach wind advisory criteria in some

we turn cooler on thursday. friday we're colder. we're watching an ocean storm. i talked about this yesterday but the latest models trending farther off shore which would mean less of an impact for us really only the coast may get brushed by this. anyway you look at it. we turn more like winter over next weekend. antoinette and doug. antoinette: danielle, thank you. it's 5:47. other stories we're following right now. doug: investigators in virginia have found the remains of a 13-year-old girl who's been missing for days. virginia tech freshman david eisenhauer is being charged with nicole lovell's murder and abduction. investigators say they identified him through tips on social media. police say lovell's remains were found about 100 miles away from her home in north carolina. she went missing on wednesday when her family says she pushed a dresser in front of her bedroom door and climbed out a window. antoinette: officials in california have recovered a body believed to be a man who jumped off a bridge trying to save a

st. pierre manufacturing is the last of its kind in the country. peter: we're really the only ones left in the united states that make horseshoes anymore. doug: when it comes to being made in mass, these pitching shoes are being produced old school. these are some serious manufacturing machines. peter: absolutely. this is heavy-duty stuff. doug: two 1,000-ton presses and one 1,200-ton press are the backbone of the operation. the shoes actually starting out as 20-foot long steel rods that are then cut down to two-foot lengths, super heated to 2300 degrees, and then pressed into those familiar horseshoe shapes. it's loud in here. peter: it's a pretty loud facility. doug: after the shoes are cooled, cleaned, and power coated, they're ready to be shipped all over the world. what does it mean to see your family name and worcester next to it? what does that mean? peter: you know, it's a great source of pride. doug: quite the legacy started by a man who started the company because he was simply tired of having his tires get stuck in

peter: i think he would be impressed with the longevity and the fact that the third and fourth generation is involved in a business he started and we're still healthy and going strong and moving into the future. doug: here's the connection to the zakim bridge. next time you're crossing the zakim bridge, take a close look. some of the support stay wires that keep the massive structure in place and, more importantly, you safe were made in mass by st. pierre manufacturing. they're holding up the zakim bridge eventually. antoinette: from summer fun to your commute every morning. speeking of wires, it's down to the wire in iowa. doug: the candidates on their last day of campaigning before the first votes are cast. the new poll just released. the candidates currently in the lead just hours before the caucuses. and police in several towns putting out a scam alert. the new ploy one band of chimney sweeps is using to trick homeowners into using their service. antoinette: and a live look from
