fantastic weather. good stretch of it but that depends on really who you ask. i had a love kid ohs at i school yesterday that were begging for snow. we insured the sunshine sticks around with us all weekend and warming trend. that is in store for us so no snow in the fog for now. disappointing for some and i know for those of thaws take the cue from the snow to start looking toward to the holidays season. i have to take our cues from the calendar. just 17 days until winter officially starts. we are into meteorological winter already though. that started on the first of the month. 20 days until christmas and just 26 days left of the year 20515 if you can believe it. we are counting down the days and it's happening very, very quickly. temperatures today our highs at least well above average by about too three to five degrees in most locations. right now sitting at 47 in winds were lighter today. that does make a difference in

i bet a bit of a chill to the air in most spots as you head out this evening maybe to take the dogs for a walk. we do have a light wind with us and those winds will continue to calm as we head through the night. now the cloud deck sort of moved in through the last few hours. i expect it to road as we get through the next few hours so probably by midnight seeing mostly clear skies once again. but those clouds in response to a weak disturbance to our north. that's where we keep those light snow showers that are popping up but nothing close to home. in fact, high pressure that's building in for the weekend will keep things nice and dry and again with a sunshine so as we move through the time line, things stay quiet. saturday, saturday night into sunday as well so that means cold morning followed by much above average afternoon. i do think that many areas could actually break this 60 degree mark as we get into sunday. tonight clouds breaking apart, 30 to 36 for those lows, light wind and then tomorrow 47 to 55.

temperatures on top of today and then yet another boost as we get into sunday and look at these highs. i still think that we've got a good run at this, even some low 60's in some spots as we get into sunday. it is so warm upstairs. we just have to bring some of that warm air down here to the surface. now as far as rain goes, we're looking at maybe a glances blow tuesday. we are at the bulk of the storm. it wouldn't mean any snow for us any way because we just don't have the cold air in place. here is a look at my 7 on 7 forecast. the only day that's normal this entire week would be tuesday with a high of 45 and again that's that glances blow of that storm system we'll continue to watch it. see you at 10:00. >> anchor: just one year after losing out on the jon lester sweepstakes this time around the
