but at 6:30 that will happen. us. it was a repeat of our thanksgiving leftovers. a mild day yesterday. and then mother nature put them back in the microwave. you know it is always a little too hot when you pull it out of the microwave. you can see we are not in the top five list. i don't think we will wrap up the month in the top five, but certainly the top 10. it has been a very mild month for us. the current temperature is still close to 60 as adam mentioned. 59 in boston right now. maybe just a light jacket or a sweater as we head through the evening hours. it is gonna take awhile for the temperatures to fall. we have a breeze with us and that will keep the temperatures mild out of the south, southwest. cover with us. and when you have the cloud cover, it is like tucking yourself in to a jacket or sweater to keep your body heat in. the cloud cover keeps that heat from escaping back into the atmosphere. now, we've been getting that mild air that's been working in from the southwest, but

that's all about to change as this front makes its way through and it has been what i have been calling a ninja front. they are chopping temperatures in half. we get the colder air dropping in from the north and the northwest through tonight and into tomorrow. so the temperatures -- this is tricky, but it will continue to fall into tomorrow morning and through the day tomorrow. they continue to fall. so i think while some areas could still be at 50 degrees by the time we hit daybreak falling to close to 40 for the afternoon and 20 to 30 degrees different as we get 24 hours from now. that's a whole lot of numbers. hopefully it made sense. here we go from the fro-pa, that is the frontal passage. a colder and dryer air and we could see scatter ited showers into tomorrow. scattered showers into tomorrow. running through the forecast model you can see 8:00 a.m. we are still in the upper 40s and close to 50 degrees in

most locations and then the temps keep going down. 3:00 p.m. mid40s. 1:00 a.m. tomorrow we are into the mid30s and even close to freezing. degrees. might be a shock to the system considering how mild it was today. let's talk about the showers. clouds through the night tonight and wet weather by daybreak tomorrow. these showers will be picky and choosey throughout the day. we will have some dry hours as we work through the day. clearing out by the afternoon i think not with the clouds, but at least with the wet weather and the wet weather is really just a splash in the pan if we can call it that. up to a 10th of an inch for most areas. could be up to a quarter of an inch for some spots. more sig rain -- more significant rain on the way, and that's a new month. we are talking december there. so still rain. we are not shoveling anything just yet. see you in a bit. >> thanks. now that thanksgiving is
