6:45 am
like as we talk about monday moving through cuba. then after that, there's quite a bit of disparity in what the computer models are doing. we're talking a week down the road. i took a couple of our more reliable models, this is a track of the u.s. model. it says it will bring it over the top of us, probably not a full-fledged hurricane. we're talking a week and then some down the road. this is one computer model. the european model, strong a storm and keeps it several thousand miles offshore. there's a big disparity. keep it in the back of your mind. we'll keep a close eye on what's going on. right now, we're keeping an eye on nice downpours down there. this is so refreshing to see this. here's our heaviest downpour right now, leaving the taunton area through brockton headed toward weymouth. just about on 128.
6:46 am
drizzle, a few scattered showers. that area should lift northward over the next half hour or so so you get nice downpours right around the city. to the north shore, we had a nice band that was going through the beverly, boxford area, has pushed offshore and northward. we're seeing a downpour around portsmouth. otherwise, look off to the west and the north, there isn't that much going on. this is where the main focus of the rain is. i think that will be this morning. this afternoon becomes variety. here's the way the map looks at noon. there's still scattered showers out there. not much in the western part of the state. notice the temperatures. they do not budge at all. later this afternoon, scattered showers. maybe a little bit of a resurgence around 6:00 tonight. then it's scattered showers as we head through the overnight hours and tomorrow morning some scattered showers out there. tomorrow afternoon less of a threat. i think it's very lucky if you get any rain tomorrow.
6:47 am
day. today is the wettest of the days and this morning will be the wettest part of the day. how much rain are we talking about? we've had 1/4 to 1/2 inch of rain. we'll add to that. the city of boston picking up another 1/2 inch of rain. it's not a lot but better than what we've been going through, and we need every drop of moisture. chuck it off to gray skies, damp out there, 58 degrees. tomorrow, less of a chance of scattered showers. then monday, zero, the chances of getting rain are really low. finally, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, the sun comes back. we start to clear things off. next weekend, so seven days away, that's when we talk about matthew if it has any impact on the east coast and especially here. right now, keep it in the back of your mind that that threat is out there. antoinette: mike, thank you. check this out.
