places. it's pretty heavy rain. boston, gloucester, also, beverly, all getting moderate to heavy rain. right into boston, and the immediate boston metropolitan area, down to weymouth, scituate and marshfield. afr that we see that little dry slot now trying to move northward from new bedford. but we still have a few heavy downpours over southeastern mass and the cape. go through the evening. rain and downpours across the cape still have to live eastward along the coast. that's why we still have a few more hours here in boston. to the west it will become more sporadic. a little earlier than it will in easternmost massachusetts. by late tonight, say 10:00 or 11:00, all of the heavy-duty rain is lifted to the north. we still have a lot of clouds left over there. could be mist to start your day. maybe even some fog as well. the winds have picked up some.

so remember, we still have these as vo no, ma'amally high tides. the one tonight in the as his as the one today but we didn't have the wind today. so it almost offsets and because of that a coastal flood advisory is in effect again for that high tide. anywhere from 10:00 to 2:00, be aware, there will be some inundation, some of those coastal roads will he to be closed. this time there could be a little wave action but it's not expected that we're going to be above flood could be some splash over with some of the wafers. keep annie on that. even tomorrow's daytime high tide around noon, even though the wind will be from the land, it's still so astro formally high thasome inundation will occur but not as much as occurred in today's high tide. 53 in boston. ere is that wind that's picked up out of the northeast as the storm comes up the coast. the storms right around here, here's the warm side of it. here's the cool side of it of

precipitation will go with it. by tomorrow morning, 40's and low 50's. tomorrow is a pretty mild day. could be in the 50's to around 60 degrees. good stuff. there you have it. mild tomorrow. brighter on thursday and friday. mild into saturday. then the clouds increase, could be showery and cooler on sunday. that's the beginning of a change. the jet stream will shift around and put us in a colder weather pattern beginning sunday. especially early next week, so expect much, much colder weather compared to what we've been experiencing for thanksgiving week. it will be dry in the early part of the week but all bets are off after that. still a listening way to got. we'll keep you posted on the rain in our area. >> today we invite you to check out the new wcvb.com. designed to deliver breaking news and weather not only faster but using new technology to give you a better experience every time. the webeople are relieved that it's actually out there live now. the latest weather conditions and alerts are front and center on every page.
