bedford across to the cape it's pretty wet at this particular time. here's how everything is moving. so this band right in here, in fact, i looked carefully because it almost looks like a storms. this is a very warm and humid air mass. no lightning that i can detect at this time. they are moving east. more moving into the springfield area. in boston, here's what you would like to know. that the sunsets are getting later every day. you didn't really see it but it was 5:00, finally made it to 5:00, by the time we get to the first day of spring, 6:57, the first day of summer president isn't that great for late sunsets? love it. overcast in boston but without the rain falling but the temperature keeps inching up and up and up. we're at 5 1, even though we're entering the nighttime hours we'll keep climbing up in the temperature department.

look at hartford, jumped to 57. berkshires, pittfield, 55 degrees. we may have a record before midnight. the record for today is 59. predicting 58 but it's possible we could get to 59 or 60. worcester's record is 57. predicting about a 54 as we climb but they could break a record, too. the wind gusts are picking up 30. in worcester. look at providence, gusting to 36 miles per hour. so raincoats more than umbrellas will probably help you. see the temperature rise as we get to about 10:00. even rising into the wee hours of the morning. then that front kind of gets close and then the temperatures ample down but very, very slowly. very warm start to your day tomorrow. temperatures will be pretty steady in eastern mass during the day, in the 50s. it will be another very mild day before chilly air moves in. the chilly air that moves in overnight tomorrow night and friday morning, is going to coincide with a second storm that will bring moisture, especially in southeastern mass

it may get cold enough for the rain to flip over to snow. temperatures will stay in the 30's for the rest of friday. let's back up. the heaviest rain for the first part tonight looks like it will be, for the most part south of the mass pike. another break could occur late tonight. as for tomorrow morning's commute, the front will be settling down near the cape so that's where the heaviest bands of rain should be, as the front starts to move offshore after the morning commute, those heavy bands of rain will also move offshore so at this point say, we're safe. but no, because then that second storm starts to ride up that front. the precipitation will start to pivot back, and that's when we can wind up with a winter storm watch for very late tomorrow night and especially for friday morning, and that would be for plymouth county and cape cod. here's one computer model suggesting maybe about 1 to 3 inches of snow. others suggest more, others less. usually this type of setup has the potential for about two to four inches of snow if it works out just right, around southeastern mass and the cape that would be centered around

as for the next seven days, there you have your story with tomorrow. just wanted to point out more on that timeline for the temperatures. see how it's in the 50s. the last of the rains around southeastern mass and the cape. then they move offshore and the temperatures slowly descend at that point. with that friday situation, especially in the morning, here's that wave of low pressure, which can create that rain changing to a mix or snow, for southeastern mass and the cape before it moves off. potential of some accumulation in that area. there actually is a winter storm watch out in the upper range. it could be like four to six inches or more for that area but i think that's a long shot to be that much but that has to be followed. a colder weekend. we have to watch both monday and tuesday. in that time period, we do have a chance of certainly at least flurries if not accumulating snow. we'll stay on top of that too. >> tonight we have more good health news for former president jimmy carter. he remains cancer-free. the scan of his torso last week
