concerned with maybe a line of light precipitation swinging through here. and that could be flurries. but it more likely looks like it could be drizzle that freezes upon contact, that would be sort of freezing rain scenario here, and that could create some slick spots for your early morning travel tomorrow. we head into the midday. i think it's dry, but it's cloudy, and it's a bit raw because we do have some precipitation in the rain form moving in for us later tomorrow night. now, i don't want to completely rule out the potentialor i thought about just tossing out this snow map completely. they will be very scattered if we see anything. but i still think that a good rule of thumb is to plan for the worst and hope for the best. so just use caution, waking up tomorrow morning, if you do have travel plans, that's something to be very aware of, and check the road reports, check the conditions before you head out the door, because look where temperatures will be, if we do see any of that precipitation, meaning wet, it will refreeze

marginally close to freezing in the morning hours. by the time we make it to 2:00 p.m., 43 degrees. hostly just clouds hanging around, and i think that the drizzle or spot showers hold off until we hit the later evening hours, 5:00 or sic p.m. to stretch along 495. meantime temperatures in the low to mid-40s. norwood at 44 right now and 37 in worcester. here's the good news. i love not seeing numbers on this map because the wind gust is less than 20 miles per hour, it does not register. so the winds finally for us, just a light breeze in most locations at this point. a little breezier inside of boston, but the winds will continue to relax over tonight. 27 to 35 for our overnight lows, and then into tomorrow, a little cooler than average for this time of year. but i think we could even scwee out some mid-40s for us here in southern new england. travel map for tomorrow, i mentioned, our storm system that we've been watching rebbing havoc over the great lakes, losing its steam. stormiest spot for travel

sturbridge. the expressway not really moving out of the tunnel the entire 9 miles done to braintree split and northbound is also crawling as you head into the tunnel. the saict imbridge moving well in both directions now. on the nbt side you'll hit it from the upper deck up through medford and the lever connector also going well and we'll check the drive times on zakim bridge to 128, a 24 minute drive. today in healthcast, doctors overstuff yourself this thanksgiving. easier said than done. >> and many of us of course love to eat but hate that holiday weight gain. some experts are sharing a few tips for preparing healthier meals during the holidays. >> use fat-free chicken broth for basting the turkey and for making gravy. use sugar substitutes like newt a sweet or agave nectar. you can use fruit purees instead of oil in baked goods. >> all right, so there you have it. a couple of quick tips.
