>> reporter: it's soggy monday that brought us some still left wanting more. three inches of rainfall in jaffrey, new hampshire and just. 16 in norwood. just over a third of an inch in boston. as you take a look at the places that kind of missed out on the bulk of this precipitation today it lies in that extreme drought conditions area here located in this bright orange. so unfortunately it just didn't balance out. however, we'll take every drop we can get at this point making a dent in the drought no matter

every bit helps and here is some of the more impressive rain totals. boy, haven't having a hard time talking today. athol with more than two and a half inches of rainfall, almost two inches in orange. fairhaven with an inch and a half. we're able to squeeze out decent downpours in some areas. here is our highway of rain at this point tapering off, breaking apart. we still have some light showers as you can see these were more impressive, a little bit ago near grown field, new hampshire, manchester as well but they are near cape cod and nantucket. a shower from time to time but nothing like we were seeing earlier today. we still have the potential there to get more showers and downpours into the overnight hours though because tropical moisture is still streaming in from the southwest. current temperatures in the low 70's and our dewpoints almost match those numbers. when those two readings are close together, it doesn't really take much to get the wet weather going is really what i'm trying to say here. so running through the time line

metrowest as we head into the overnight hours and then that potential for showers slides farther to the southeast as we make it into tomorrow morning. there is still a chance we could get a shower for the cape and islands through 11:00 a.m., maybe midday tomorrow, but then even pushing out the cloud cover for tomorrow afternoon and boosting up temperature. tonight it's still mild and muggy, 63 to 69 and tomorrow with that afternoon clearing and that sunshine, we do get some warmerte thursday but it doesn't really look like it according to forecast because look at where those temperatures top out for the middle of this week into friday. looks like another front swings through late friday into early saturday for maybe a few more showers. nothing like today and much cooler weather to follow. br i still ahead terrifying moments in an arizona neighborhood when a plane crashes right into a house. >> anchor: some promising news
