through much of our region. it's almost feeling tropical this early saturday morning. that's the case especially heading down toward the cape as well as we do see a few upper 60's. 40's heading inland. this is the kind of air that won't be making its way to our region until later tonight and into the forecast tomorrow. so those temperatures are going to stay nice and warm for this morning and also for early this afternoon before the next band of rain approaches. 63 in boston as we hea t noon. as we move into the late afternoon, as showers move in and for early this evening, they're pushing from the west. you can see how showers cool temperatures down to the 40's. worcester county 47 this evening. that cool air will push its way onto the coast as well as we fall into the 40's for much of the coast for late tonight and into tomorrow morning. it's going to be a huge cooldown. in fact, we're talking about the chance of some snow even trying to wrap in as we head out toward the adirondacks and the
