downpours into new england on monday. here's your weather map tomorrow. high pressure close by. and then on sunday, here comes a cool front, slow-moving cool front generating more clouds than tomorrow. a few showers. you see these green blobs scattered around the northeast, those are scattered showers, but no widespread significant rain on sunday. so have the rain gear on stand-by. now for monday, the same front is actually still here during the day. but what it will do is try to scoop up some leftover moisture from the remains of tca she's not going to bother. she'll stay put and fall apart. but leftover moisture may work itself up into new england in the form of some showers and downpours during the day on monday. so again, sunday, not much rain. i think a lot of you probably go the entire day and not have any rain at all. then on monday, the higher chance of rain and heavier rain, as well, perhaps upward of an inch of beneficial rain to start chewing into this extreme drought that we have across southern new england.

pressure with us tonight. and we'll have it to start the weekend. overnight tonight, mostly clear. cool, 40s and 50s. tomorrow lots of sunshine. a few clouds around in the afternoon. but it is pleasant tomorrow. temps tomorrow between 74 and 79. you could make a case it's a decent beach day. mix of clouds and sunshine. water temps in the middle and upper 60s. high tide just past noon. and seas running 1 to 3 feet. if you're in fall mode, pick some apples. the humidity, temperatures in the morning moving through the 50s and 60s by tomorrow afternoon. the numbers will be in the lower 70s. sunday again, a lot of clouds, but just a few passing showers. temps on sunday mid-70s. here's your time line on sunday, showing the clouds, but not much in the way of rain. so again, outdoor plans, playing golf or dennis or yard work or perhaps goinged to pats-dolphins game should be okay. more humidity around and an isolated shower around kickoff. temperatures through the day in the mid-70s. 7 on 7 forecast.

19 games over .500, on top of the a.l. east, and looking to bury the yankees' playoff hopes. clay buchholz and big papi hugging it out before the game. good vibes roll on into the first. ortiz lacing an r.b.i. single to center field. xander bogaerts scores to put the red sox up 1-0 on papi's 115th r.b.i. on the year. two batters later, last night's hero at it again. the red hot hanley ramirez placing this pitch pretty much same spot at papi did. red sox up 2-0 after one. this solo shot to the same spot as last night's walk-off. 433 to dead center, 26th on the year, tenth home run in the last 19 games. 3-0 boston. yankees look to gary sanchez. a two-run double off the monster in the fifth bringing the yanks within a run. the only damage for buchholz in six innings of work. the offense takes care of the rest.

on the first pitch in the seventh, jackie bradley, jr., jacking a 411-foot shot into the pen, his 26th on the season. red sox win it 7-4. yankees now six back in the east. two weeks into the season, and tom brady is not the most-talked-about man amidst his four-game suspension for the patriots. brady's status taking a back to the high-profile injury talk. question mark. dont'a hightower is doubtful for this weekend, and the dolphins are not a team to be overlooked. >> they have great balance. they have a really good back. they have a good group of backs and a good offensive line and obviously a couple weapons at receiver we really have to worry about. so their balance is what's impressive about them, led by a quarterback that's equally balanced in everything he can do, running the football, throwing the football. they're capable of hurting you in a lot of ways. >> trey: harvard opening up the lights.

gate with the 16-yard touchdown. 7-0 harvard. later in the first, check out the mood. viviano in the pocket. tucking and running for the touchdown. harvard rolls in their opener 51-21 your final. >> play of the day brought to you by xfinity. >> trey: heading north, canadian football. carter blocks the punt with one hand, giving the kicker the heisman on his way to the end zone. deron carter doing it all, taking home our play of the day. baltimore beating tampa 5-4. the final out coming on a play in the ninth. toronto leading the angels with man on.

afoot and light-hearted i take to the open road. healthy, free, the world before me, the long brown path before me leading wherever i choose. the east and the west are mine. the north and the south are mine.
