coast tomorrow into tuesday morning and eventually make this right turn and head out to sea. it's going to be turning up the ocean. it will bring a band of rain in here as well as some wind. at this point it is more of a nor'easter as opposed to a tropical system. we do have a tropical storm warning issued. these were just issued a few moments ago. it does have the cape and the islands. and we are talking about right at the shoreline more than anythi e went. however, we have been so dry any breeze out there could knocked down a tree. one of the reasons that this storm system is still staying strong is the ocean waters are strong. look at that. mid 80's. this is vast of water. once the storm gets up here to the north and we start getting cold air filtering into it it starts falling apart.

intensity over the next couple of days. your the waves. not very much. the south coastal areas along the south shore, three foot, a foot, here and there. down to the south, there is a big dome, 15 or 20 feet. this will start working northward. offshore we will see big wave action. there will be a big surge coming with it. sometimes with a three or four foot. this will be around for a while. by the way, the high tide is 11:00 tonight and new tomorrow. you see what happens. the winds are not bad. it will ramp up overnight. look for 3250 mile an hour

gust around 35. this is just a breezy day we are talking about. this is where you start to get wind that could create some more damage. a beautiful day today. but the rain will hold off until tomorrow morning. eventually moving up towards boston, but probably not until noon at the earliest. and look at this. this rain will be coming in bands. at where those bands set up, that is where you get the rain out of the whole thing. the most significant rain is going to be between the cape and the islands. you get and lend, you might be lucky to get any rain out of this whole thing. -- you get inland, you might be lucky to get any rain out of this whole thing. that is the nature of the storms. wednesday, it is waning, moving

surprisingly with a system like this to my usually humidity drops. humidity will stay high through saturday. and then we will see the humidity dropping back off with clearing skies. that is the latest forecast. i'm it meteorologist mike wankum. josh: a day after the patriots roster was pared down to 53, a few of those players talked about looking ahead to the regular season, specifically the upcoming game against the cardinals, and life without tom brady, for now. the opener against the cardinals is just a week away in arizona next sunday night. a challenge for every member of the 53-man roster in any situations against a stingy defense and a strong running game, but no one more in the spotlight that has to showcase his ability than quarterback jimmy garoppolo. we've been talking for weeks
