this is a line that will be progressing eastward through the course of this morning and not really arriving into western massachusetts until about 9:00, 10:00 this morning. probably closer to 9:00 this morning. so i think we're safe in terms of any downpours, any showers for the most part. widen the view a little more. you see there's this nice line of showers. this is the one i'm watching for the midday hours and toward the early afternoon hours for you folks toward the cape and t look what happens when you get behind the line. it turns bright and sunny and beautiful. and we'll have that by the end of the day today and also back here, lower dew points. check out these blues and aqua colors back here. pleasant to refreshing air is about to move in. until then, we are rather uncomfortable and even oppressive to folks sensitive to that. temperatures in the low to mid 70's. orange at 74 degrees. 75 in springfield.

so this cold front comes through during the -- well, let's call it midday hours. behind it less humid and a much, much more comfortable night for sleeping tonight. you're going to open the windows and let the fresh air in. high pressure builds overhead first thing tomorrow morning. i expect it to be fairly cool at the bus stop. dress the kids appropriately, maybe a light jacket. likely to see a few upper 40's perhaps outside of 495 especially into some of the protected valleys. and tuesday, that high is sticking around. we're still staying with much less humidity. however, for wednesday, another system comes through with some more showers and thundershowers. we'll keep an eye on that one, and behind that, a feel of fall coming our way. storm impacts for today, heavy rain and lightning will be on the medium side. i'm not expecting a whole lot of heavy rain from these except in very isolated spots. and most of those downpours look

island, southeastern massachusetts. lightning obviously. and then the strong winds i think will be a bigger concern especially given the weakened state of many of our trees. in terms of the humidity impacts, they're very high this morning. by this afternoon, they're coming way down. and tonight and tomorrow, thank goodness, refreshing air moving in. let's time the showers out. 9:30 western massachusetts. into the worcester area by 10:00 or so. into the boston area by lunchtime today. but as we head into the afternoon, skies start to clear out. nicer weather. beautiful sunset coming up for tonight. high temperatures today generally in the 70's and 80's. tonight we fall back into the 50's. and tomorrow low 70's with low humidity. also tracking the tropics. we do have a tropical wave we're watching in the central atlantic. we'll keep an eye on that. more on that coming up throughout this morning. in the meantime, we're looking at those midday storms out there. much less humidity for tomorrow
