so quite a bit of cloud cover lingering in to southern new england, central new england but not much in the rainfall department as temperatures hold steady throughout the day. tonight mostly cloudy skies, some patchy fog, upper 30's to lower to middle 40's. wind east southeast becoming more southeast tomorrow and a little low level moisture in place giving us enough for some patchy drizzle. not a lot of rain expected throughout the day tomorrow. a better chance of some soaking downpours scattered about tomorrow evening. that is when the temperatures will jump up, so the high actually occur tomorrow night during the day most of the day in the upper 40's and lower 50's 50's. much milder air to the south and west of us, still residing here. look at this chicago at 60 degrees, so we'll get one more pun of warm air in here as we go through tomorrow evening. but we also get the spike up in the rain chance so it will be wet and windy tomorrow night. tomorrow during the day again just some patchy drizzle and this is the trail of moisture that we're waving back in the middle part of the count

is it's located east of new england. if it were on top of us, i'd say, okay, definitely going to rain all day. but it's not. it's over here. i think the closer to that you are, the higher of chance of seeing some showers, which will be the cape and the islands, the south coast, south shore. metro boston, i do think there will be a couple of on-and-off showers this afternoon and a burst of some rain shower activity this evening. northwest of town, southern new hampshire, worcester hills, you may have a couple isolated sprinkles. there's not as much rain on the way as what we saw with yesterday's weather system. about one-tenth of an inch of rain or less. yesterday most towns got a half inch of rain. and like yesterday's weather system, this is relatively mild. upper 40s right now this afternoon. a few showers. mainly through southeast mass and the cape and the islands. the evening shower, clearing skies. heads up on this, if you're out late tonight, after midnight with leftover rainwater on the road, there may be some are
