6:16 am
mid and upper 80s today, despite all the clouds, and you can see them filling in at lunchtime but during the afternoon, one or two isolated showers to the north and west, that's about it, this evening and overnight, and a better chance that we get into the showers, and that threat is with us tomorrow, as well, and we're in the 60s to around 70 degrees tonight, for overnight lows, and as we get into the day tomorrow, a lot of clouds, a couple of showers possible here, especially, as we head to the late morning hours around boston, and that shift dry things out on friday, and it's a nice start to the holiday weekend. all right, back to that situation in east boston overnight, a tough situation there. >> unfortunately, a fatal accident. two people killed in this crash that happened after 1:00, and at this point we we have got road closures in place. four others taken to the hospital and the investigation is ongoing. now to the maps and i will show you what's going on. northbound side of route 1a, at this point still shut down so if you are traveling that way it's closed, a half mile after the ted before bennington street so
