mike: there's a lot of diversity once it gets past the southeastern part of the state. it's called spaghetti, because the models look like noodles. this is more like lasagna. doug: oh, my goodness. i'm hungry. mike: i am too come to think of it. let's check what's going on now. this is where matthew is at this point. look very carefully. you see the eye at the beginning of that loop. it went from a category five to weakening. maximum sustained winds of 155 miles an hour. if it goes above 155, that's when we call it a category five storm. technically right now, it is at the extreme height of a category four. so what could happen? doug was asking about the spaghetti plot. this is what it looks like monday night at 8:00. we push it across jamaica. we push it across the eastern part of cuba. most of the models in agreement.

a little more spreading action going on. a little bit difference. each model is saying, okay, what's going to happen to this thing? this is where it's going to be friday at about midnight. now let's move it up to next weekend. what happens here? a lot of computer models don't go out that far. the few that do, there's quite a bit of spread. they're not sure what will happen. we have to keep a close eye on it. i have a couple of computer models. this is the u.s. model it brought it over the top of us. the other model, the european. looks what it does. it keeps it a long way offshore. it doesn't even give us rain. there is a lot of spread in the computer models right now. it's just an opportunity for you to think ahead. what would you do? just keep all those things going for you. today, what are you thinking about? the rain. we haven't had rain for so long. it's so nice out there. over 1/2 inch of rain.

of rain already. this line goes down through taunton where they picked up .8 inch of rain. there's an urban flood advisory until 8:00 this morning. ponding on the roadways. we haven't had any rain for a long time. there's oil and grease that builds up. when you put water on it, it floats to the surface. makes things very slippery. be cautious traveling this morning. we'll get more rain through the morning hours. this is the back edge you're seeing here. that's rain is going to be this morning. this afternoon, it's hit or miss showers. a nice band coming across martha's vineyard, towards plymouth. a good rain shower there that stretches up along the mass pike and continuing to lift northward. it hasn't been that much north of the pike. on the western part of the state, a couple of viewers said what's happening out here? not much. gray skies. the rain looks like it will be pretty much hanging in the eastern part of the state.

some sunshine in here. today it's gray, overcast. wet weather this morning, a few hit or miss showers this afternoon. that threat of showers tonight. a few hit or miss showers monday. a spot shower is not out of the question on monday, but i think most of us will stay dry. tuesday, wednesday, thursday and really into friday, it's looking like dry weather. sunshine is back. temperatures are into the mid 60's. one thing we will be doing later on in the week is keeping a going to be tracking if it even gets close to us. again, that's not going to be happen until we start talking about next weekend. doug and antoinette? antoinette: thank you. a check of the stories we're following right now. doug: chicago police are investigating after a bullet goes through a school bus and strikes the driver in the face. the bus was full of children at the time. no students were hurt. no arrests have been made. antoinette: f.b.i. agents returned to the man allegedly behind last month's bombings in

sprinkles and scattered showers, but the real downpours are happening really inside of 495. now, this is the first batch of rain that lifts through. there's a big gap in between. we may get a second batch that tries to go through this evening. most of the steadiest rain will be this morning. this afternoon, it's a hit or miss shower here or there. this is the most rain we have received in one day in several months. if you're headed to fenway, damp and cool as we head to the 7:10 first pitch. temperature 56 degrees. the today. tomorrow, the pats are playing in a cool damp area, but it also means that there may be a chance of drizzle. the better chance for rain is today, not so much for tomorrow. don't look for sunshine on monday either. the chance of rain goes way down. tuesday, wednesday, thursday, back to sunshine. toward the end of the week, we'll keep an eye on matthew if it gets anywhere near the east coast.
