6:20 pm
between 8:00 and 9:00 a.m., midday in the upper 40's and for that late afternoon walk, you got temperatures in the lower 50's. again, warms up near 60 on friday and then we cool down saturday, sunday, and early next week we start to see the pattern becoming quite active. at this point it looks dry, but there will be storms starting to develop early next week, watch those later this week. tom: we got the patriots here on channel 9. jason: getting ready for "monday night football," we'll i'm todd from aarp riding through the mill yards to make some noise for all the real possibilities we're providing right here in our community because if you don't think
