small chance of flurries this morning. >> ok. >> getting there. no problem. you can see the radar right now, and it's picking up on that band starting to fill in, in the hartford area, and this is what we're going to be watching for the next few hours. it's not a lot but that's what's going to be moving through, so a low risk for a few flurries this morning. otherwise, mid-day hours are dry, and low risk for a couple of showers. it's towards evening that chance of rain is going up so keep that in mind if you are traveling about on this thanksgiving day. if you into northern new england, both today and friday will will be several inches of snow, so plan a more wintry weather up that way if you are doing some traveling. here's a system that we are watching. warmer air trying to work in, produce a lot of clouds, it was clear yesterday, the clouds came in, and we are lock in with these clouds the next couple days. you can see again, the showers and the flurries here, kind of approaching from the west so this is what we're tracking this morning. certainly cold enough to support the snow.

we have got lower 30s around plymouth through the north shore, as well, boston right now is 35 degrees so if you are heading to the football games, don't expect much change. cloudy, chilly conditions. by mid-day we're in the lower 40s, and it's mainly dry. sunsets at 4:15, and at that time i think we're going to find the rain developing, but notice the temperatures do sneak into the mid and upper 40s. lower 40s, and barely 40 degrees the high today out in worcester. so notice as we go on into noontime, not much hapni through this morning. it's dry, as we get to about 4:00, 5:00, that's when we see the rain approach from the west, and it may be cold enough here in the berkshires and southern vermont for a bit of snow, and then things start to fill in as we get deeper into the evening through the overnight hours, there will be areas of rain and some drizzle, and that could be a little problematic overnight because look at the temperatures, north and west of 495, very close to freezing, so you get that rain falling with the temperatures near freezing.

of the black friday deals. watch out for the pockets of some freezing drizzle north and west of 495. and going to keep the drizzle going throughout the day, and then we watch this system, it dives towards the coastline on saturday and may focus some heavier rain and snow to the north across northern new england. i think here in southern new england, we'll have a chance of rain early on, on saturday, and then we may begin to dry out. after we get towards about noontime, i think that the focus of the wet weather shifts to the north, so look actually, get some sunshine back here on sunday, and into early next week with brightening skies and temperatures warm up, too, could be back in the 50s here by the middle of next week. randy: a friend of aaron hernandez is suing cnn for invasion of privacy. alexander bradley says the image aired him recovering in a hospital bed from a gunshot wound to the face. bradley says that the injury was

sunset, that's when i think that we're going to see the rain fill in, and that rain will be with us off and on into friday, and it looks damp tomorrow. we'll slowly dry things out on saturday. emily: it's time for the eyepoppers, and this first one is local. randy: i love coming upon this. it's cool, a flash mob from talented students in boston very nice. very nice. gifted students from berkeley entertaining shoppers in the pruitt shall center as the students are with the contemporary symphonic orchestra. emily: the turkey toss taking place in summerville. new england's most talented athletes throwing it for a touchdown. this event always is a good time, as you can see, and it

that could mean extra helpings of football and in time for so many other topics, favorite family stories, holiday movies, theater and hit shows like hamilton. ok, maybe not hamilton. there is another way to look at this turbulent autumn, maybe thanksgiving comes as just the right time. and many voted for president-elect trump to express unease and anger over how they see the nation. others voted just as passionately against him because of his unprecedented style of leadership and how he may change the future. but a midst the angst perhaps we are fortunate to have these few days where we can take a collective breath and be thankful for the traditions and still bind us all, regardless of party and persuasion. whether or not your family chooses to engage in this stream of political dialogue, currently engulfing america, or take a break and find safer ground to share, we can all give thanks, we live in a country with the
