cold front. warm front. which has come through overnight heard. that is what jumped temperature in boston so much. the south. now that storm is going to continue to move northeast. that takes the live storms through us overnight before we get to improving weather. overnighting to the first part of that morning come hut. downpours. some thunder and lightning. poor drainage flooding and winds could gust to. >> miles per hour or higher in the tropical air. aided by some of those downpours and thunderstorms. now the thunderstorm watch in effect until 2:00 a.m. for parts of connecticut and the new york area. now possible. fit could get extend north and east during the overnight. the actual warning for thunderstorms southeastern new york on down to new york city. that becomes evidence when we look at the radar. look at all the lightning with the line of storms. that is the line of storms that was responsible further south to producing some tornado attorneys so certainly capable of producing damaging winds. there is the line without the lightning right in here. that is the strongest action.

this is moving to the east northeast. of course always a little problematic as to how much will hold together. the atmosphere is right but the tropical air to the downpours and the thunderstorms moved through the region. already we are seeing action coming out of woonsocket, rhode island, upton on the way to hop t here. many more popping up. one little downpour. here is a look a as we go ut. the main action kind of enters western mass around midnight and starts to move eastward. these are downpours. thunderstorms lightning, heavy rain, gusty winds. the whole area from-wiser to 3:00. as we get to the morning commute. reaction shifts to eastern massachusetts and eventually to southeastern mass and cape cod. so the later in the morning commute you are, the better off you will be boston north and west. by in the of the commute. most of the action should be slid sliding offshore of cape cod and the islands. all right. there is another look at boston. look at that temperature. 55 degrees.

22 miles per hour. there is the 64 right now in hartford, connecticut. only us still cold. has not warmed up there. wherever it has warmed up. the wind has kicked up. gusts to 45 now in worcester. sweaterring to build a lift here. we have wind that continues through 7:00 p.m. then behind the storms this. the wind will be strong out of the southwest all day tomorrow. already blue hills got over 45. so fall river almost 45. so as we go through the overnight. listening at potential gusts here and some will be aided by downpours and thunderstorm and continues overnight and then left with a very windy day for the rest of the day tomorrow. so that's the main action overnight in terms of the rain the lightning this is where the risk at least some risks of power out ands exist because of the storms and the stronged winds. so very high chance of heavy rain. a high chance of storms to damaging winds but the medium chance of thunderstorms but low not zero chaps for coastal flood
