ballpark of half an inch of rain. half an inch, two-thirds of an urn of rain throughout much of eastern mass. beginning to see this system wind on down in terms of the steadiest, the heavy rest of the rain offshore but still patchy drildz and clouds in place and areas of fog. wet roads and drizzle stretching through the merrimack valley you at in into worcester. out through the blackstone valley, back into connecticut and rhode island at this time. visibilities two to four miles. i wouldn't call it dense fog. dense fog a quarter mile or less but we do have fog out there and from a distance it's tough to see some of the skyscrapers in the city of boston. no question about that. warm? it's a soup air mass for december no question there. 52 degrees in boston on a night in mid-december. you don't see that too often, right? off to the west of us 19 in the twin cities. that's the cold air that's going to be cruising there the great lakes and into new england over the weekend.

have to go through another round somer tomorrow. it won't be as widespread as what we saw earlier today and not as consistently bhift a few showers mainly along 95 and east toward the coastline from about mid-day to mid to late afternoon, and uk evan see north and west of 445 not have have 95 not out of the question that we get breaks of spun the closer to the coast the better chance of getting a couple of showers. saturday expecting a mainly dry day but look what's showing up on the maps. blues? that is lake effect snow. there's going to be enough energy and a lot of wind coming in that one or two of these snowshowers or flurries may survive the trip into southern new england. so i wouldn't be surprised to see a passing flurry or snowshower for a few towns. not bage deal. we're not expecting any document lating snow. as we go through christmas week what snow? mild air ruling the seven-day forecast. in fact, we're talking temperatures 50s to 60s as you get into next week.

tenth of an inch of snow in boston until january 13th. we're still far away from that record. but look at this in the city of wooforts. december 24th. the if we don't get a snowshower that drops a little bit of snow on saturday we are going to break that record. i think that's more likely than not to break that record at this point. 54 to dupuy tomorrow. 44 to 52 tomorrow. nothing says christmas like temperatures in the 50s to lower 60s. right, guys? >> you bet. looks good, chris, and so does this. our holiday helping at 7news. we are whipping up our favorite holiday recipes for a good cause. >> tonight danielle gersh is whipping up a great addition to any holiday breakfast. >> hi, everyone. welcome to our home. this is my dog sebastian. we're so excited for our first winter here in boston, and we're going to make my mom's famous banana bread today. it's a family tradition in our house. she always makes it during the holidays. 3 we're from california, and the second it starts to get cold,
