>> anchor: one of those days where you don't want to complain too much about humidity because this could be one of the last summer like days we have. >> anchor: everybody is talking about how was your sum senator i am sad it's over, so here is another weekend. it's true. today certainly more like the giving of ought than the middle of september but we're not yet to that autumn national equinox. that doesn't happen until september 22. a few showers expected this weekend then a taste of fall as we get into the end of next week. thig our 90 degree temperatures for this year. 93 was our high in boston today. that tied the record from last year and if you remember this time last year, we were in the midst of a heat wave and then no more 90 degree days after that. so we may be done one and done for us but that does make 2190 degree or above days for the city of boston for this summer. 90 right now in boston, 88 norwood, bedford, 81 in worcester. slowly cooling off but the

we're still in the mid 60's for our dewpoints so it's still muggy although not quite as oppressive as it was earlier today. tomorrow i still think a muggy day on tap for us, not as bad as today and then sunday even more improvement on the way before they really dry things out to start next week. this weekend i would say all things considered it's a fantastic weekend in store for us. we do certainly cool down for tomorrow. highs in the low 80's. a bit huggy, a chance for showers both days but not a washout. not by imagination. partly cloudy skies right now we stay mild and muggy overnight tonight and our next chance to see some showers will come early tomorrow and then again tomorrow night into early sunday. it sort of is a series of fronts that are working through. here those isolated showers i'm looking out for as we get into early tomorrow morning really favoring the south coast near buzz art areas bay, cape cod and islands. these are really spot showers. they are not going to amount to much or last very long almost in the sense that once you get that

new more. next round that we're looking for comes i think late saturday there is a possibility and then again early on sunday and then they are out of here as wellp can't rule out a rumble of thunder although i do not anticipate anything severe. we could get a downpour that an isolated downpour we'll call it meaning one town could pick up a little bit more than the numbers you see here but generally speaking we're looking out for a tenth of an inch to a quarter of an inform of rain and that's throughout the entire weekend. chance for showers are out of the way and we dry things out for next week. so not a drought buster and not a washout. here is your 7 to 7 planner for tomorrow. again, isolated shower more likely in the morning than in the afternoon. partly cloudy in the afternoon. outdoor activities looking a okay of you want to hit the links tomorrow, light winds, temperatures in the mid to upper 70's for most coolest along the coastline so that does include beaches although not a bad september beach day.

are finally calming down for us so wave heights one to two feet. here is a look at your 7 on 7 forecast again i mentioned drying things out as we get into the beginning of next week but that real taste of fall doesn't arrive until we hit the end of next week. connection out those highs and lows on thursday and friday starting things in the 40's and wrapping up in the low 70's. >> anchor: the patriots are now just two days away from finally sunday marks the pats first time back in glendale since winning a fourth lombardi trophy in super bowl 49. and weather it's a regular season game or the super bowl, the patriots can't wait to take the field for the first time in 8 months. i feel like that before every game so i get butterflies before every game. i think once you lose those butterflies it's probably when you should hang them up. i get butterflies every game. i think when you care enough about it you want to go out and play well and win you are a little nervous and anxious but it's all a part of football.

but it's exciting too. you get to get back out there, do what we love to do. so i'm excited and looking forward to it. >> anchor: after being littled in practice all week-long, rob gronkowski is officially listed as questionable for sunday's game, one of 8 patriots to carry that designation and according to mark daniels of the providence journal gronkowski, soldier and cooper are not on team charter flight to arizona. elevating possibility they all may not be able to play on sunday night. field, the same cannot be said for carson palmer who will take on the patriots in one of league's most offensive offenses. the 36-year-old palmer is coming off his best season of his career throwing career high 35 ouch downs in 2015. it will pose a tough challenge for patriots defense. i have a lot of respect for carson and what he has done in his career in three different organizations. so i think he is an outstanding person and outstanding

great competitor and -- presnap he does a good job of communicating with the offensive line as well as reading coverage and disguises and you know i feel like that's a big edge he has. >> anchor: patriots and cardinals kick it off sunday night right here on 7 nbc. we're going to get you set with the 7 on the sidelines pregame show starting at 6:30 and we'll have complete post game coverage immediately following the game right here on channel 7. it's been three years since the red sox have played baseball in september but with 23 games remaining all of them against teams from a tightly packed al east shaping up to be a fight to the finish beginning with a crucial three game set in toronto this weekend. red sox entered tonight's show down in toronto one game up on the blue jays in the division of far cry from the last two seasons in boston when they sat in the cellar on this day while on their way to back to back last place finishes. the bruins hoping for a similar turn around this year after missing out on the playoff for two years in a row now.

david krejci continuing to take part in captain's practice of the b's new state of the art facility and it despite a disaits woulding finish last year signing with the bruins was pretty much a no-brainer. i really enjoyed playing here for 17 games but just really enjoyed playing in the city and the fans were fantastic. i thought the group in the room was great. like i said in my outgoing meetings given the opportunity i would be really excited to sign back here. >> anchor: u.s. open semifinal taking on gail monfes. he tries to win the israeli with a drop shot but the flashy french man showing off the wheels, charged to the net for the cross court winner on a break point. his winner good for our play of the day but joke very much advancing to the final with a four set win. after running the bases before tonight's game with no issues
