"in november, obviously a lot of the crop had been harvested. so when we went to talk to the producers, they had a fairly certainty of what they had actually harvested and what their production would be. so that's why you see the margin of error in november

even 39 in keene and 35 in pittsfield. here are those wind gusts. you can see they're sustained or gusting, excuse me, over 44 miles an hour now on nantucket. very, very strong winds outside. it's going to be that way throughout the entire day. now you factor in those winds with the current air temperature and you get a wind chill about 36 degrees in boston. that's what you're going to dress for through the afternoon. so as we go through the afternoon, winds are anywhere from 20 to about 30 miles an hour sustained. gusts upwards of 40 miles an hour so it's blustery and it's cold outside. pressure. the winds around it counterclockwise. it's also kicking up some snow showers up through parts of northern vermont, upstater new york. you can see lake-effect snow coming off ontario and lake erie into central pennsylvania. some of these flurries may make it into western mass and southern vermont before things start to wind on down. we look for a lot of sunshine throughout the afternoon. in fact, that's what happens as you can see on that future cast. so th

dewpoints running in the lower 60's, the drying out a little bit out through pittsfield and north adand. we did have a couple of showers out there and quick downpours. these are headed along route 2 and then eventually end grated boston but as they move along they will shrivel up. get smaller, fade away to sprinkles really and that is your frontal passage through the course of the night, passing through pretty silently. clouds behind the front though kind of rifling up through new york and also ohio. so this tells us tomorrow that even though the front passes, sometimes when you get a front at passage it's very sharp into the clear sky. not this case. we have debris clouds as we call them in the backside of that front. so with a mild start tomorrow in the middle 50's and upper 50's i don't think it will be hard to get to 61 degrees. that and the fact that the core of the coldest air doesn't come in until sunday morning so low 60's all the way up into the merrimac valley and then almost mid 60's from brockton down into taunton. our game time forecast about 53. we should hit a 54 around 2

we are right around 34 degrees in orange and 36 in pittsfield. notice as the rain comes in the temps come up and we are in the midto upper 40s especially by the coastline. then the heavier rain comes in about 10:00, 11:00 even at night tomorrow night. highs tomorrow really warming into the mid40s and a few upper 40s and maybe even 50 degrees on nantucket. staying slightly cooler and only warming into the low 40s. so again the rain chances are ramping up through the day tomorrow and they continue also into wednesday. so let's break down tomorrow for you and time out the rain. we start out dry in the morning, but by 5:00 the downpours are around. if you are headed home from work it is going to be a wet ride home. through the overnight hours, we will get a break into early wednesday before more rain showers push on through wednesday afternoon and into the evening. when all is said and done a half an inch to an inch of rain and we could use it and milder on wednesday in the 50s and then back into the 40s as we head toward next weekend. >> thanks. the

those are the winds, but we have gusts now the have started to pick up along block island, pittsfield. so i' d say along the south coast, the cape the east coast of higher elevations you can expect us over 30 miles an hour later on tonight. a little bit of rain offshore. not amounting to two much. a little more around eastern connecticut, southern worcester county. but we are waiting for the main action which is a little bit farther south and west. just edging into southwestern connecticut at this time. that is the area that seems to be centering around new jersey at this time, moving to new york. that initial batch is going to be more for western portions of massachusetts and may be up to worcester over the next several hours or a few hours from now. but there is more that is down to the south. while this initial patch stays west of boston, this patch is not. that is going to head more up toward southern u england and eastern parts. that is what comes in late tonight into the first part of tomorrow. here is a look at future cast. it could be a spot shower at any time. but somewhat st

north adams and pittsfield in the 50s. so some of that air gets here as we go through the evening tonight and then tomorrow it will be near 60 degrees. so not half bad. just the wind gusting to near 30, 35 miles per hour. might be a little annoying from time to time. it looks like cold air behind the weather system that comes in on saturday. our temperatures will struggle to meet 50 degrees on that particular day and a good wind, too. so a few showers, clearing late, temperatures in the 40s to low 50s. as we rise through the night and then tomorrow upper 50s and even some low 60s. we're warmest really from boston down through taunton and into attleboro, brockton, too, where we reach into the low 60s. and maybe near 60 degrees tomorrow. quincy about 58. and there you go with our temperatures for the rest of the week. next week that is. the weekend starts cold and finishes a little bit milder. the warming process a little slower next week than it has been in the past. but we eventually get there rising into the upper 60s, ma

pittsfield, 44 degrees. that's the cool air. we have one batch of cold air move through and a second wave hitting out here, pushing in right now. moisture associated with it was sprinkles and it's pretty much gone. as high pressure builds, more cool air will flow in tomorrow so tomorrow will be a normal november day. something we have not seen at all this month. tonight, skies will clear, breezy, 36 to 42 degrees the overnight low. tomorrow, sunny day. if you're an early riser, you go out for a walk, it's going to be breezy in the morning. rebounding to 52 to 54 and wind will be dying down in the afternoon but still a chilly day. 6:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. a few clouds to the burke burkeshires, that's it. the rest of the day is devoted to sunshine. clear and cool. we start monday with plenty of sunshine, as well. a couple of sunny days coming our way. just a little on the cool side. what about the wind? it looks like it will stay gusty and picking up intensity talking about tomorrow morning. the gusts will be stronger than that

even at 2:00 tomorrow afternoon, rain still west of boston. pittsfield. that system quickly zips through southern new england tomorrow night and early at one time, i thought friday hours. now i think the rain moves out of here by about 8:00 or 9:00. then we see clearing skies during the day on friday. friday is salvageable. turning into a nice afternoon. and a mild afternoon as well. with temperatures on friday heading for the upper 50's. so again, we should be around 51 today. just below that today. tomorrow, a lotle of clouds, middle 50's. on friday, up toward 60 degrees. the numbers take a step back as we work toward the weekend. tonight, partly cloudy. not as cold tonight. evening temps near 40. then actually, i think the numbers will climb overnight tonight and reach the middle 40's by tomorrow morning. and then through the day tomorrow, mostly cloudy skies. showers very late in the day. again, i think at noon, they are still well west of worcester. eventually, they show up in the worcester hills by 3:00 or 4:00. still of boston, not until 5:00 p.m.

pittsfield is 44 degrees. before the night is over with we could see temperatures dropping the tropics. not necessarily. goes all the way through thanksgiving. and look at this. we have a little spin trying to develop down off turks and caicos. it is not very organized. it is not a tropical storm. at the national hurricane center is keeping a close eye. a 70% chance that this could become kate by monday. how does that play into our forecast? this is where gets interesting. i will put computer models of the forecast. notices area of rain. this is the tropical system. they stay separate but they are close enough together this may try to throw tropical moisture. when we start to talk about the rain on tuesday, you get the idea there may be a little bit of tropical connection. anytime you have that, you get some pretty good downpours. so i do think we are going to be seen some downpours moving through as we talk about tuesday, especially late in the day. how much rain? look at what is going to happen to say into w

low 50's on the cape but beginning to see the colder air push in to concord as well as pittsfield, in the upper 40's and 41 right now in albany. that's an indication of the colder air that is woking its way in our area for the day. so even though we're in the 50's until about 10:00 in boston, by lunchtime dropping into the 40's and notice by 6:00 back into the mid 40's and then overnight lows drop to go the 30's and 20's depending on where you live. morning. you will need a winter coat. through the day only warming up into the upper 40's which is time of year. so we will take that. it's a cold day on monday in the 30's. then on tuesday, we turn milder cold front combination. that's also going to bring in some rain beginning late tuesday night into first thing wednesday. in fact, wednesday morning's commute will be a dicey one. very wet in nature. it continues through the evening hours of wednesday before tapering off. and then on wednesday in terms of how much rain we're talking about, we're watching these totals. we could see anywhere from half an inch to about an inch in terms of ra

this goes all the way back on this. pittsfield and all the way towards springfield. all of this is traveling to the east very quickly. there is a little bit of a line heen behind this in central new york. it's associated with this area of low pressure. it's an upper-level low and a cold front. so all this is going to come sweeping through as we go through the afternoon so the future cast looks like this. we're going to get through that one batch of rain and then by 8:00 this line will make it into western mass. notice as it comes across the state it kind of falls apart. the best chances for any showers additionally are really i think north and west of the mass pike. really southern new hampshire, southern vermont getting in on some of this action. as we head through the afternoon, notice the clouds start to thin out just a touch. we will then see breaks of sunshine. that's going to lead to our temperatures becoming more mild through the afternoon. in terms of how much rainfall we've seen, only 2/100ths of an inch in orange. 3/100ths up in concord. that's what we're e
