you will get a lot of dry hours in there on thursday. icy spots north and west of the early afternoon. otherwise, showers and drizzle and fog for the rest of the day. with temperatures near 50 across southeast massachusetts. mid-40's in boston. should be about 5 north and west of 495. those scattered downpours with the thunder and the wind tonight. temperatures rising into the 50's. and the 50's tomorrow with early rain tapering off. for more on what that storm is doing in termsle of wind speeds, over to danielle. >> danielle: thanks, chris. yeah. the storm will bring another day of severe weather to our south. stretching from florida all the way up into the carolinas into the mid-atlantic. now, in red here, this is where the greatest risk for severe weather is today. that means severe storms, damaging winds, hail, and possible tornadoes. from the carolinas up into virginia today. this is where the highest risk for damaging tornadoes, isolated tornadoes is for today.

chris mentioned those winds. and because of that, we have a high wind watch that goes into effect. for southeast massachusetts, the cape and the islands. and these numbers are why. heading into midnight, we could see wind gurss from 40-50 miles per hour. for southeast massachusetts, the cape and the islands. then as we head into the early morning hours, look what happens. those winds climbing, gusting to 50. we could see some isolated wind gusts. close to 60 miles per hour. for the commute tomorrow, throughout the day, it is staying quite windy. not looking quite as bad. chris, back to you. >> chris: dan yes, ma'am that, wind is out of the south. the wind turning direction out of the west. as we get into friday, eventually, into the northwest. that will dry us out and cool us down friday and saturday. overall, the weekend looks quiet. no major storms rolling in over the next several days. yes, a cold start on saturday morning. temperatures in the teens. in many suburbs saturday morning. by sunday afternoon, we are closing back in on 50 degrees. any cold weather this year does not last long.
