might see high clouds move in from our storm system tomorrow afternoon, tomorrow evening. as far as rain, holing that off until wednesday it will go through the mid afternoon it will come in lightly and then step up its game as we go through the night. warm front will pass and we might even get some thunderstorms in here late on wednesday night or very early on thursday morning. they exit quickly. this is a very fast moving weather system. it's no going to linger very long but what we do see of it on wednesday night and early on thursday will be a lot of rain. one to two inches maybe pockets of two to three possible in any downpours or thunderstorms. a guffy wind with winds enough enoughing over 30 miles per hour hour. maybe even 40 plus on cape cod and the islands. badly needed we're over two and a half inches below normal for rainfall. compare to that to last year at this time. 5.83 in that particular month and thursday game does not look like it will be jeopardized by any wet weather. 62 very mild degrees and as far as the forecast for sail especially over the next two days, 53, that's the pick of the
6:19 pm
the first part of the day will be dry before we get into the rain and halloween looking way ahead. saturday night 49 degrees, cool, doesn't look all that bad in fact. don't forget we're turning our clocks back. back on halloween night or you can wait until 2:00 a.m. on sunday morning. however you want to slice it. our temperatures are in the 50's both days. see you tonight. >> reporter: preparing for a divisional game is never easy but try getting ready for two of them in a span of five days. that is the latest her el for the patriots halfway home after taking out the jets yesterday. now it's on to the dolphins on short rest on thursday night. tom brady overcoming 11 drops from his receiving corp, six of them from brandon la fell to engineer a pair of touchdowns scoring drives in the fourth quarter. not much time to celebrate that 30 to 23 win though because miami comes to town riding a two
