rain will track along the south coast and the cape, and i think the heaviest rain will miss northern massachusetts and new hampshire, might get a few showers here. if we go from .1" here to 4 to 5" along the immediate south coast. a big difference and the rain where the heaviest rain will fall here and i think the overall biggest total, towards the south coast and the islands. new bedford, fall river most at risk for flash flooding. so the main issue from the runoff and heavy rain creating flash flooding on the roads. temperatures in the 70s tomorrow and we'll look at sunshine on day, a bright day. on sunday, we have rain showers starting to move back in as well as more cloud cover. the best chance of a shower on sunday, across central western mass and towards rhode island. eastern massachusetts may stay dry. a look at the weekend, 87 on saturday and a mix of sun and clouds, and sunday, a chance of showers and upper 70s with the additional cloud cover. here is the accu-weather 7-day forecast, next week, more showers possible on monday and and cooler temperatures and an opportunity for some of the

could as we track through this evening hours, actually see or thunderstorm more likefully in northern massachusetts. but it's tomorrow when the big show is expected that. is because of this front sagging from the north and also this low pressure system coming together sort of playing squeeze play with. us, it's a narrow band of heavy rainfall. if that track is even 50 miles off we could miss out on the heavy rainfall completely here in the commonwealth. so this has been the fricky forth -- tricky part of the southeastern massachusetts, cape and the islands from late tonight into tomorrow evening. for this rainfall expected. i'm showing you a different forecast model than i showed you a half hour ago, this is our most recent forecast model. this shows it's the band of heavy rainfall slides any farther to south as it does here, then see spotty scattered showers, scattered storm activity tomorrow. we still have the potential though if the some heavy rainfall. the atmosphere is going to be very primed for dumping heavy rainfall and so you need the extra lift to squeeze out the wet sponge. how much rain

that means northern massachusetts just doesn't get as much rainfall. anything is welcome news at this point. heaviest amounts, the blues and purples here indicate perhaps over an inch and a half. because of that the wind off the ocean and the rain moving in, temperatures in the mid to upper 70s. 10 to 20 degrees cooler the weekend looking good. mid 80s on saturday, lower 80s on sunday. a chance of a shower on mound. >>> weather and traffic together kathryn. >> thank you so much. here's a live look from our chopper this morning. we want to tell you about a vehicle spun out off the road at 495 northbound just before exit 18 in belling ham. from the shot you can see things are moving well at the moment. this is right by the gas tanks, northbound from the split to columbia road that's where we're seeing the most volume this morning. >>> somerville police will hold a protest tonight in the battle over a black lives matter sign at city hall. it's being called a peaceful rally. the police union wants the banner replaced with one that says all lives matter. th

this southward, midnight tonight, through northern massachusetts, sinks down to central massachusetts by 6:00 a.m. that's important to note, because where that rain to our south is going to go is just to the south of this, let's call it a boundary between the tropical air to the south and the dryer air from the north and the tropical air as you would likely guess, that's where the most moisture is and the potential for the heaviest rain, so watch where that comes on through and this is showing us every three hours of rainfall, so between 11:00 a.m., and 2:00 p.m. in the afternoon is where the heaviest heaviest of all, still back here. so we're still keeping an eye on where the front is stalled and noticed drier to the north, heavier to the south. notice the colors, really ramping up here. between 2:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m., the heaviest is on the south shore and on cape cod and the islands. again, the front stalled here, we'll go three hours ahead to 8:00 p.m., between 5:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m., the heaviest falling on cape cod and the islands as well before it pushes on off. the heavie ss
