the reason for that an unnamed cool front. no name here. just a cool front that will move through new england during the day tomorrow. 6:00 tomorrow morning if you have a morning commute a lot of clouds. few isolated showers. bursts of downpours and steadier showers tomorrow morning south of the mass turnpike. there are showers south of the pike versus north. that shower threat lingers through the day south of boston in the morning than the afternoon. friday and saturday awesome. little hint of fall on saturday. lows in the 50s and highs in the 70s. if hermine is going to bother us that would be sometime sunday night into monday. >> anchor: coming up building it bigger lego honor list david ortiz.
