we've had scattered, mainly just light rain for the cape and the islands so far. so this is an area that could stand to see a lower amounts, although i do think a batch of heavier rain will be coming through here, even overnight, as low pressure swings through, but so far, today, we've had only a few hundredths in this area. we'll add on another half an inch in many locations before this all moves out tomorrow. let me show you the big picture, because i'm pressure center, it's going to start to intensify, and track right through southern new england, overnight. that's why that rain chance is going to be with us on into the night tonight. so here's a look at futurecast, it does look a little bit overdone here. but the trend is there, to show additional showers coming through at 8:00 p.m. not as heavy as what you're seeing here, but for your dinnertime plans, you're going to need to have the umbrellas around. then, that lull late evening, overnight, but then look at this, 4:00 a.m., when we get

tracking more showers. and some of them could be heavy, because this is right when that low is going to be swinging by. it's moving quickly, so by 7:00 a.m. in the morning, we're in pretty good shape, just a lingering shower at the coast, whereas the western areas are starting to dry out. so if you can delay your departure time a little bit, you might be better off if you don't want to drive in the rain. looks like again, by 7:00 a.m., most of us are dry, and the roads will be slowly drying out, through the rest of the morning has well. so in boston right now, it's we're socked in with the heavy rain, our pike camera right now showing that and lots of stoplights out there. our hour-by-hour forecast, it's just the 40's for the evening, but then watch what happens towards sunrise, we could see temperatures nudging upward just is a little bit, that's because that low is coming through with a warm front, and we're not going to get a big cooldown tomorrow, behind this system. in fact, the cold air will be delayed really until thursday night. so temperatures will still climb

50 to 59 in suffolk and middlesex county and even towards foxborough, looking at numbers in the mid and upper 50's and i think cape cod, mid 50's, no problem here. there will be morning sun and then the afternoon clouds fill in with a little bit of warmth from the day. so not a bad start to december. friday, it gets chillier, and the weekend always in view. well, we'll see seasonably cold numbers at night with 40's by day. we're still looking good for the coat dropoff day on saturday. >> blair close an personal with saturn's ring. the long running space probe will start a new set of orbits, skimming past the outer opening of saturn's main rings, it will fly closer to rings than it has since its approval in 2004. the probe is apparently running out of fuel and will make a final deadly dive into planet next september. the world's oldest woman is celebrating her 117th birthday. emma lived in italy and kicked off yesterday's festivities with
