we're keeping an eye on the massachusetts turnpike. i'm randy price. emily: i'm emily reimer. randy: olessa is watching for today, tuesday. cindy: a brand new month. it is a cold start to the month of november, 35 degrees. no big wind chills to talk about. look at this. down to 26 in bedford. 25 in jaffrey. at the freezing mark worcester. freezing mark in new bedford. outer cape, though, mid 40's this morning. you can see there is a little bit of cloudiness that has come cape. high pressure overhead will provide a good amount of sunshine. sun not up until 7:18. by 9:00 a.m., upper 40's. lunchtime temperatures only in the upper 40's today. 57 is an average high this time of year. we're looking for 52 in boston. may sneak into the mid 50's in a few spots. at least we're dry. we'll talk about our chances for olessa: a check "baseball tonight" pike so far quiet this morning. second day of open technology. we'll see how that commute goes on later on. let's goat the maps and check the rest of your ride. clearing just about gone here, construction. 93 by route 24 clearing. north of t

so north and west of 495, north of the massachusetts turnpike out to western massachusetts. there is a little bit of a break with spots of icing. when you get up into this area. that's a winter weather advisory. why the break? there are two different national weather service offices in play. one from taunton and these counties are actually controlled by the main office and they've not put a freezing rain advisory here. there should be one. you will have one here and a winter weather advisory here, and you should have something here to connect the dots. in southwest new hampshire, there will be some spots. look at this. nashua. that's south central. here in worcester, 39. these temperatures under clear skies can drop this evening. guess what. it is totally clear out there. blue sky all day long. clear through the evening. temperatures will continue to drop. that's the concern. back here beyond 495 where the temperatures are dropping down to freezing or below tonight, that's where you could have spots of ice. that's contingent on the rain making it here. i don't see any rain h

it's not a lot back here it's a lot here in massachusetts it's not very much but along the massachusetts turnpike out barrington still seeing some light snow or flurries. still seeing that. but you do have to go all the way to western massachusetts to find any snow falling. at least for now. there's a storm system back here some stuff brewing here in the rockies it's all going to be moving eastward. it's the next one that we're tracking. first things first it is cold outside vanessa hit that one right on. 32 in boston. already literally freezing cold out there it's going to get colder even in the city. orange. from 30s right at the coastline. winds are step up gusting over 20 miles per hour not strong enough to be wind advisory criteria over 30 miles per hour scattered about today but it is certainly strong enough to give you a wind chill. this is what it feels like outside to your skin if you 16 in worcester 20 in boston so if you're out there working on the highways for instance you need to keep yourself covered up because it becomes a danger in that many hours. look at that average temperature
