shiri spear says rain-free until sunday. >> shiri: rain-free until sunday. we are in good shape as this goes. okay shape. 5 to 15 degrees cooler right now than it was yesterday at this time. i wouldn't be surprised to see a little bit of cloud cover move through these towns and city. plymouth at 56. temperatures are still going down. lower 50s inch boxford and millis. town send at 47 and bedford new hampshire at 50. your day planner today starts most of us in the 50s at 7 a.m. it is cool and mostly sunny. sunshine today and at noontime, 67 degrees. there will be a little bit of a breeze out there. we get up to about 70 an a range as always and the range today 66 to 72. gusting up to 25 miles per hour. back to you catherine for a check of those roads. >> catherine: let's look at the roads. one accident in the billerica area on route 3 as move your way south. we will keep an eye on that. doesn't look like it is impacting anything too much at this hour of the morning. 128 and 93 moving just fine. the pike 128 and expressway moving north, those are in good shape

shiri spears will be here better as we head into the middle part of the week. finally the dew points will be dropping. then a cooler into the end of the weekend. >> thanks, sarah. >> thank you for making fox 25 your choice for news. don't go anywhere just yet. >> here's tom with what's ahead "sportswrap" everything. >> was all shiny and bright the patriots were 21-0 on the dolphins on the move again headed to halftime. then jimmy garoppolo went down in a lump. we'll talk about for thursday's game against the texans and the red sox at it again wrapping up their series with the yankees. butch stearns was in the patriots locker room he will be with me to co-host the show tonight. and we'll reveal our game of the week candidates. we're here until midnight. go grab a snack. the fox 25 "sportswrap" coming your way right after >>> tom lied within you. butch stearns is along for tonight's show as well. we are kicking off live in our new set with a big story. >> jimmy garoppolo injured of course today in the second quarter of today's home opener against the dolphins. no

meteorologist shiri spear joining us now. >> don't eat jelly sandwich. i would like to think dry tortilla chip is okay, just blow off because we live and die by right? >> shiri: agreed. okay for dry goods. clear skies right now, sunshine as well and don't recommend busting out popsicles and licking those if they fall on the ground today and upper 70s and warmer and warmer than yesterday because we are going to be back into the 80s. we got mild southwest well and few clouds we got moving through with future cast today. highlighting another bright and sunny day. even into the evening hours it will stay nice and clear. temperaturewise today we are not going to see a huge variation and low mid-80s and lawrence and lowell at 84, fitchburg 82, mildford, new hampshire 83? and worcester 77 and highs in the lower 80s, so it is a look good feel good day, humidity still in check. we got 60s overnight tonight and temperature a little bit warmer and wake up and not going to have the same 50s and 40s like we did. tomorrow morning it will be warmer. you can probably and

a dreary start of the day in many towns and cities and meteorologist shiri spear to fox25 stormtracker weather sent we are how long and drizzle will stick around, shiri. >> shiri: yes, we will deal with patchy fog. probably dense in a couple of spots until 10:00 this morning. this morning definitely not winning any rewards. not looking so pretty out here. and the fog in worcester with quarter-mile visibility and official points north and west of boston into new hampshire. merrimack valley. where we have some of the thickest fog early on this morning. we also have sprinkles we are watching with light rain over scituate, and norwood down to

meteorologist shiri spear has a timeline when it will all unfold, shiri. >> shiri: with you how it will slow us down. the nitty gritty. most of the showers passing over the cape and island. we will find damp roadways even though we are not showing a lot of showers elsewhere but very misty and damp this morning, 66 in boston. 66 in worcester this morning. look at these fog reports. two-mile visibility in chatham. a quarter mile. dense fog in beverly and portsmouth, new hampshire. not so much better in as well. keene, new hampshire, i have dense fog. worcester, dense fog with visibility around a quarter mile. this is thick stuff. this fact this is the thick stuff we have seen to far this week and it will last about 8 or 9:00 this morning. foggy, misty, even perhaps drizzly this morning. temperatures start in the 60s. 73 at 10 a.m. metro west. 78 degrees by noontime and into the 80s and finally we get afternoon breaks of sunshine, so the timeline on this slow improvement with futurecast coming up. back to you, julie, for drive-time traffic. >> julie: like you mentioned fog will be somethin

shiri spear is timing out today's severe storms. >> shiri: this is what we have. we are in this chunk of dry air. your morning treat. the clouds barely reaching new england. showers into canada and the great lakes that will be moving in for the afternoon. we have almost a completely different forecast. with the easy side of the forecast. 65 in boston and low and and 40s like the last couple of days. a warmer start of the day that will end up being stickier. dew points in the lower 60s today. a little bit of the humidity element for the hour-by-hour forecast for the city of boston. 66 degrees at 6 a.m. 77 at 10:00 this morning. we will get into the middle 80s this afternoon. and clouds are moving in and i expect the best storms in boston itself between 4 and 7 afternoon and evening thunderstorms. some of those possibly strong to severe. highs though 84 to 88 degrees. up ahead of those storms. i do have an hour-by-hour look at futurecast coming up in just a couple of minutes. julie is up with drive-time traffic. good morning. >> julie: good morning, shiri. we will a

meteorologist shiri spear joins us. she is tracking more rain in the forecast. >> a commute like yesterday morning which was not as problematic. >> shiri: not as steady and damp and foggy and a situation where fog can develop a little bit later than usual and might not start until 7, 8, 9:00 city. soing so we will have to watch basically ongoing today. chance for rain is out there, my friends. it will be in the form of drizzle and pretty decent risk you are going to see it. tomorrow i think it will be a little patchier and not stretch inland quite as much. friday and saturday, watching not just drizzle but pockets of steadier rain which is good news. but if you are stuck and a little sick of the pattern that we are stuck in, then all apologies. the northeast flow is going to drive the clouds and fog and kind of dank forecast through the day today. straight through noontime you can see that we have green on the map and light rain expected to form, to continue to basically into the afternoon. eastern massachusetts going to

shiri spear joining us now and are we still hovering at 77, shiri or has it gone up already? >> 77? and put wrong graphic up here and show you what the heat index is and add in the fact we have high dew points in the 70s, really muggy, heat index feels like temperature actually 79 right now and you're going to see that even though boston probably getting upperrates or lower 90s today it is going to feel about five? warmer when add in the humidity this afternoon. there's the front and few showers it is spawning right now, clouds have been pretty stubborn all morning long as expected. noon time comes along and start to see things brightening up, temperatures in the low and mid-80s at lunch today across massachusetts and southern new hampshire at 3:00 p.m. look at these temperatures as kids coming home from school, lots of 90s, especially inland and boston spends most of the friday night plans, i like this latest update to future cast because it is keeping all of us dry, which is what the forecast calls for right now. i think that once we hit the overnight hours we got the slight risk

meteorologist shiri spear joining us now and tracking those cooler than usual temperatures this morning. >> shiri: so we have jackets and thinking now short sleeves, a little more comfortable and finally warming up. humidity is going to stay nice and low this week and rain chances that we are watching for steady rain that's going to provide any kind of long-term relief from the drought conditions that we are facing now. 66 in boston, getting you out the door with sun. that is going to stick with you all day long so we are pumping in the sunshine today. highs in the lower 70s. not just in boston but up and down the coastline. check out norwood and cool thing about norwood is we got all the way into the lower 40s this morning. in fact, 7:00 a.m. so look at the warm-up we have done since then. 64? right now place it is 73 by 1:00 this afternoon. 75 here at 3:00 p.m. so i expect he will peak in the mid-or upper 70s there. it is all about location though because the immediate coast will be cooler. what you will find is the cape is in the lower 70s. we got 71 chatham, 72 in barnstable, south

jason brewer is in live for shiri spear. jason. >> jason: you saw the picture from tampa. the heavy bands through tampa, st. pete area. still a hurricane making its way northeastward inland. it will be weakening. the track friday into saturday through the carolinas as a then what happens after that is still uncertain. we have a large area uncertainty out here for sunday, monday and tuesday. bottom line, it is off to our south as a weaker storm, but nevertheless, could bring us some direct impacts by late saturday into sunday. so we are talking about that straight ahead. today, a nice day, enjoy, mid- to upper 70s. morning sun. giving way to pop-up afternoon clouds. a dry day and saturday looks dry as well. current and the waves will start to increase as well. by under night, when you start to see a chance of some of those direct bands. if the system gets close enough mainly toward the islands and this builds north and westward into labor day. right now i have that rain chance 30% to 40%. certainly not a dead ringer that we will see any direct rain from this just yet, but m

check in with meteorologist shiri spear from the fox25 stormtracker weather center. >> shiri: yeah, i have to say it is not going to be an all-day rain. it is not going to be for everybody. that patchy drizzle that is going to form and pesters us for the next couple of days. that is who we are watching out for. right now mostly cloud under the radar coastline but 60 in boston. 61 in plymouth. and upper 50s up into nashua, new hampshire. worcester at 65 and lower 60s over the cape. also watching for some fog. it is good to see that worcester is showing some improvement because we have quarter-mile visibility a little while ago and a situation where fog might not develop until later this morning. boston is going to be sagging temperature ranging from 56 to 62. that's it. julie grauert is back with live drive time traffic. a check of the accident. >> reporter: new accident on route 3 as you approach the braintree split. overall volume still manageable but if that doesn't clear quickly will increase those drive times. north of the pike route 1, 93 south looks fine and the accident in east

meteorologist shiri spear joining us and, shiri, fog has been a problem that we have been watching all day. >> fog something we have been tracking, a little bit of rain with it, nothing measurable in boston so far but trace amounts down across the southcoast and days of inch of rain and similar in worcester, half inch short of what we usually get at this point in september and eight inches short and had drought conditions, drought monitor coming out at 8:30 this morning. expect update shortly. let you know if conditions are worsened. don't think that we are going to see any big improvements or changes. 70? in boston. boston we had the on and off fog coast, still in the thick of the fog. temperaturewise in boston we will get into the upper 70s. today you will find more and more of the breaks in the clouds growing as we go into the afternoon. running cloud and he damp out there, foggy out there, spots like plymouth and ipswich where we get to highs at 79?. get off the coastline we will find a better warm-up because escaping the on shore wind but also get some of the first breaks in the c

fox25's shiri spear is in the storm tracker weather center this morning to look at the muggy weather starting off >> shiri: hazy, hot and humid as we go through the day. humid is the -- humidity is the driving force behind this fog. from the south shore and the coast down to the cape. three-mile visibility. the only dense fog over nantucket. the problem is for nantucket should last until 8 or 9:00. most of us see the light fog dissipate until 8 a.m. lower 70s to start off your day. might find a couple of damp but i don't are any significant showers unless you are headed to bedford. a steady, lighter rain. the potential of early fog. temperatures in the 70s. there you go 90 degrees this afternoon with increasing sun. heat indices with temperatures in the middle 90s. >>> north of the pike, things moving along fine on route 1 and 93 south. south of the pike expressway, speed limit ride. one of those rare times where you can instead of being in gridlock. 23 minutes on the pike eastbound from 495 to mass avenue. eight minutes on the expressway. 20 minutes on 93 south from 495 to the levere

. >>> meteorologist shiri spear joins us on this tuesday morning. you are tracking some breaks. it is going to be a wet morning commute. >> reporter: yeah, i mean we need the rain. we talked a little bit of a headache and nuisance for those driving no work. if you have the option of leaving right now. maybe that is your best bet because you are not facing the downpours. a quarter to half an inch of rain. the totals coming out of southeastern massachusetts where showers are going to be the last to really fade away. i have got drizzly conditions here tomorrow and for most of the upcoming week that soggy pattern finally breaks next week. on monday or tuesday. so we do have self-shots of up being light. today is your best bet for getting some more significant rainfall. you can get western parts of central massachusetts as this front is starting to approach. turning wet as we speak. by 6 a.m., i expect those showers are in boston points north and west. looking pretty wet. the shower activity of southeastern massachusetts over 6 a.m. is going to be patchy but i can't promise you it is

let's check in with meteorologist shiri spear. she joins us now from the fox25 stormtracker weather center, and shiri, we are talking >> shiri: yeah, crazy stuff. this compares where we stand right now versus yesterday at this time. 13 degrees cooler in boston. 24 degrees cooler in lawrence and portsmouth, new hampshire. but now 31 degrees cooler in norwood. 30 degrees cooler in orange. so, yeah, it feels like it is fall out there this morning. that is leading up to the 40s, the 50s across central massachusetts with worcester at 53. north groveton at 57. rindge, new hampshire, a 60 in boston. but the burbs are really ruled by the 5s from lynn at 54, milton at 53 to 40s in midway, up to tewksbury. mansfield at 47 degrees. 55, duxbury. to 65 in sandwich this morning. anywhere from the 40s to the 50s. dpint range in temperatures. the fox25 weather app will help navigate you through that warm-up. here is what we are looking at. 71 degrees at noontime sunshine. 75 degrees at 3 p.m. coming home from school. and warm and bright. 68 degree

shiri spear in the storm tracker radar center with fog and a few showers by now. but fog coming by the end of the day. >> shiri: by the end of the day. a slow process and we do make a turn for the nicer come tomorrow afternoon. but right now, plan around fog -- and fog i have been watching this morning in worcester and lawrence and beverly. we have half-mile visibility in bedford. we have light fog in boston. southeastern massachusetts, but the fog is going to be stubborn today. so i expect it will last with us until about 8 to 10:00 this morning. so it temperature-wise. upper 60s over the cape and islands in. marshfield, plymouth, bourne. over to new bedford and the cape. we have roads. it is raining, patchy, mostly light rain but even in boston area back through framingham at 65 degrees up into southern new hampshire, you are going to find it damp and kind of misty out there. to hit the windshield wiper. worcester right now at 64. the clouds are thick. the fog thick. and this afternoon, inland spots like worcester will be the first to brighten up. so we have the

meteorologist shiri spear is in the storm tracker weather center with a look at when it will be the heaviest. >> shiri: the heaviest coming through between now and 8 or 9. we have the heavy showers set be up through worcester and fitchburg approaching the nashua new hampshire area. light and steady in the boston area right now in the lower sifts. so upper 50s, lower 60s. i mean across the board unless you are coming up from the cape and have dry conditions, it will be wet and in worcester, the rain continues until 8 a.m. and continues until 10 a.m. the whole story here staying drizzly, breezy, cooler throughout the day and we will break down the timeline when you are done for showers for good. julie grauert is back with live drive time traffic and the beauty of this, put this with your traffic map. shiri's radar on top of my traffic map. everything is getting wet right now. take you off so you can get a better look at the colors on my traffic flow and the expressway starting to turn from green over to orange north of the pike route 1, 93 south moving along fine. six o'clock in the morning we
