6:15 am
forecast. kelly ann: speaking of impressive, we have a nice warm-up for the start of december. it's what we're looking forward to as we see temperatures crossing into the 50's heading into next week. here's a look at what's in store for us today as we have our travel forecast. a lot of us hitting the roadways today with that sunshine breaking through. and that's the case really for much of the northeast. we have relatively dry and quiet conditions expected. temperatures generally running from the 40's down into t pittsburgh. but here's what's going on in the midsection of the country. we can see it's a lot of rainfall pushing through. a bit of a mess heading out toward chicago, memphis, where we have a system approaching. that also will play a part with those temperatures where, of course, they're a bit warmer in the 50's and 60's. right now we're seeing signs of clouds developing out to our west, which is bringing rainfall for eventually later this afternoon out that way. here locally, some signs of even some flurries falling as we move
6:16 am
here locally. we're staying dry. we're staying relatively clear as well as thick clouds stay just to our west throughout the day. a few sprinkles earlier on the cape. that is fading as that system pushing off the coast. and so we're drying out and seeing that sun breaking through as well as we move through much of your sunday. temperatures right now generally in the 30's. 37 degrees in boston. 32 as we head out toward worcester. 23 in springfield right now.an point because we have those winds in effect. the wind-chill factor making things feel like they're in the 20's. that's a factor even into the afternoon. highs hiding the mid 40's but feeling like the 30's. so we'll see that as a factor even into the evening as well. the main reason for breezy conditions is that storm system off the atlantic really close to
6:17 am
with these so close in proximity, we so those gusty winds ushering right through the middle of those systems, bringing in that cool canadian air and also bringing breezy conditions throughout the day and heading into the forecast tonight. cool, dry and quiet. tomorrow high pressure moves back in overhead. a storm system heading our way tuesday actually looks to bring a warm-up into the region. that's something we're seeing with our seven-day forecast as we initially start off in the 40's. that's the case for your monday. but that w the next chance of rain as we head into wednesday and thursday. there's the track of the system. we actually have that moving in from the west. several ways of low pressure moving up the coast will bring several rounds of rainfall. we kick it off on tuesday night, another chance on wednesday and yet again as we head into thursday. heaviest rainfall expected thursday morning. it will taper off as we head into thursday night. doug and antoinette? antoinette: all right, kelly ann. thank you. 6:17. checking some of the other stories we're following this
