the front is coming are tapping into this morning and already got the drying trend pushing into western mass, approaching central massachusetts and showers have lightened considerably in spots like worcester and will continue to do so and 9:00 this morning we have most of the shower here south of boston. i could still see a straggler hanging tight in boston itself but likely be lighter if that's the case, the steadiest rain will be focused across the southcoast, the south shore, cape and islands through about noon time. after that the rest of the a 2:00 for the cape and islands. boston though by 2:00 this afternoon look at what's happening. we got some breaks in the clouds, turns partly sunny, brightest conditions of all going to be at across northern mass, southern new hampshire, central and western massachusetts, south of the city because you're a little closer to that front which is very slow moving. do you tap into a little more cloud cover today but the big picture is going to be dry one sending you home from work and school later on today. the hour in boston we still got a little while

cindy: western mass and northern massachusetts and central new england are going, what storm? it is a pretty large storm about 300 miles to the south and tropical storm force winds. as it inches north we will feel the changes. but it will stay in the atlantic where the water temperatures are warm for this time of year. it is over 80 degrees where it is in the waters to the south. that is part of the reason it may strengthen. this is the official track coming back to hurricane strength. it takes a jog to the west but earlier computer models were that it would track closer to new jersey but it doesn't look like that will happen. that is good for them. nonetheless, once we get toward tuesday it lifts farther north and winds will increase as it gets closer to us. toward tuesday night and wednesday it is still around and is out of here. so slow to get here and slower to leave. on the south coast winds could gust up to 30 to 50. and periods of rain come in for tomorrow. today is dry and tonight but rip currents will be with us. blue sky over boston now and 64 degrees and wind from t

for some of us torrential rain across parts of new hampshire and central and western mass so far this morning. 72 degrees in boston. you know we have the warmth. we have the humidity, as well work dew points running close to 70 degrees. so it's a muggy air mass in place. plenty of moisture to work with. we're just ringing out some downpours north and west of 4 the wind is out of the south. that stays with us. flood advisory in effect west of nashua, new hampshire, stretching back into the southwest corner of new hampshire and into portions of northwestern mass out near athol, orange and as well as greenfield. this is where the bulk of the heavy rain has been. locally one to two inches of rain. yes, very beneficial for parts of manchester, new hampshire, cob -- concord, new hampshire, back into ashburnham. per hour rain amounts dropping out of these showers and storms rolling on in. that goes all the way down to the mass pike just to the east of springfield right now. take a look at the wind speeds. once in a while you see some of these brighter greens showing up. so embedded in some o

it's clearing out in western mass. there's a trend coming down from northern new england as wel breaking up somewhat to allow the sun to peek on through here. it's definitely on the cool side. it's actually cleared out a little bit around portsmouth, new hampshire. you can see the clearing line, which is coming southward like this, but even though it looks like it clears up this morning, it looks like other clouds may tend to reform during the day. so i can't say that it's going to be nice and sunny all day long. but there goes the rain the last night. so we'll call it, as far as the are around this morning. sunniest weather is this afternoon. only 68 today. so the air mass has changed. tomorrow it's going to be a chilly one, especially in the morning. the afternoon high only 64. there will be a cold wind tomorrow as well. so probably put a jacket on tomorrow. >> all right. benny. thank you. >>> all right. it is 5:32 now. we're following breaking news out of washington state this morning. ur during a shooting at a mall

by 2:00 there's a chance of some of these into southern new hampshire, central and western mass, and then they make their way eastward rather quickly. so by 4:00 most of the area has a chance for a shower or storm the cape and the islands. as we get into the evening it's quickly pushing offshore. by 9:00 i don't think there's much left. but this is just a low threat for storms. i do want to mention with the weekend trees due to the drought, it doesn't take much to get some damage. so that's what we're concerned about tomorrow. a marginal severe storm risk. because we don't have all the ingredients in play. there's gonna be strong winds grow tall enough, they can get some of that wind to come down to the surface. that's why we're concerned, 40, 50 mile-an-hour wind gusts. 60 miles per hour would be a severe thunderstorm warning classification but it won't even take that kind of wind to knock some trees down. we'll be watching that carefully. now gillette tomorrow, right now based on what i'm saying seeing, we've got the risk of storms early and then things improve as we get into, say,

it has expanded to parts of central and western mass north of the pike. the merrimack valley as well as parts of the south shore. 9.5 inches below average for rainfall in boston, over 9 in worcester but it's not just this year. last year average rainfall amounts. about 9 inches. you take the two years and we're in a significant two-year drought. the driest two years on record so far. so we're really going to have to monitor the situation. likely going to start to see crops lost and some significant impacts to the watershed areas as well as our rivers and streams. we'll be watching those closely. the chance of rain? we don't have it for the next couple days. we'll track a cold front that brings showers and storms into monday. there may be a possibility we could see up to an inch of rain, which would be great but it's not 100%. that's well out to the west. that's the system that we'll track closely. high pressure keeping us dry. take a look, this is julia, it was a tropical depression earlier, now a tropical storm. it has strengthened but it will go off the

western mass is where we could run into problems. let's show you what's going on. most of the showers from last night have vacated our area right now. this is a line that will be progressing eastward through the course of this morning and not really arriving into western massachusetts until about 9:00, 10:00 this morning. probably closer to 9:00 this morning. so i think we're safe in terms of any downpours, any showers for the most part. widen the view a little more. you see there's this nice line of showers. this is the one i'm watching for the midday hours and toward the early afternoon hours for you folks toward the cape and t look what happens when you get behind the line. it turns bright and sunny and beautiful. and we'll have that by the end of the day today and also back here, lower dew points. check out these blues and aqua colors back here. pleasant to refreshing air is about to move in. until then, we are rather uncomfortable and even oppressive to folks sensitive to that. temperatures in the low to mid 70's. orange at 74 degrees. 75 in springfield. so th

again, watch out in western mass as well. biggest threats will be the heavy rain, lightning and strong winds as well. high temperatures today up near 80 degrees. again, big changes in store heading into the afternoon hours, though, with much drier air working in. so a bumpy ride to get that more comfortable air in here. midday storms around the boston area. probably midmorning toward late morning for the worcester area. and then it's back to sunshine for monday and tuesday. more storms on wednesday and struggle to near 70 degrees for high temperatures on thursday and friday. guys? >> whoo, cooling down. all right, a.j. thank you. it's 8:17. checking some of the other stories happening right now -- >> spraying for the zika virus is back underway and the hope is down in miami that a travel advisory linked to the zika virus could be over soon. the cdc could call off the warning for pregnant women if there are no new local cases found by september 19th. there is a new round of spraying >> the security company that employed a gunm

western mass becomes an issue probably about 8:00 or so. but into worcester, boston, probably not going to be until later on this morning toward midday as well. we have some time out there for the ceremonies out there. as a matter of fact, let's talk about the humidity first off, because i think that's what you're feeling the most this morning. there right now. but as we get some showers and thunderstorms to work through here around midday, the humidity will drop very quickly. you'll notice it by around suppertime tonight. we had some showers last night. you're waking up finding drops on the old windshield, on any of the garden stuff you left out yesterday. look, we've actually had one little thunderstorm pop up here, i mean, just within the past 15 minutes or so, working toward springfield. in random fashion. it's a line to the west that will start moving in the next couple of hours from now and eventually into the worcester area by 9:30, 10:00 and then into boston heading on toward late morning toward midday. there's the wider picture. we

a chance late day early evening and the higher amounts back in southern new hampshire and far western mass here with about quarter of an inch of rain possible as this front comes by. so as you can see it's not going to be a drought relief it's just going to be a very temporary fix of the tender dry conditions that we're seeing. this is through 7:00 a.m. thursday we're beginning to pile up maybe a third of an inch of rain in a few spots where you can see a couple heavier showers and thundershowers develop but it's a quick one. this front is moving by fast. so for the bruce springsteen evening that's warm to start things out. but you are going to want to have that rain gear strand by. there will be a period of time in there with scattered showers coming through that only lasts maybe an you hour then they're out of here. seven-day forecast nice into the week. we're back down into the middle 40s by friday morning your weekend in view does include some rain later in the weekend. >>> in just the past 30 minutes we got brand new information about a story fox 25 broke last month.

the clearing line into western mass that is driving out shortly after that. the clouds will start to break apart and we don't see that end of the rain reach boston until about 8:30 this morning. so fut a.m., we have got a lot of heavy, steady rain focused across eastern massachusetts. worcester drying out by 10 a.m. just a slight risk of a late morning shower in the boston area. we are still going to have to watch southeastern massachusetts and straight through noontime there, plymouth, south shore, south coasts are all locations that could be dealing with rain showers as we inch toward lunchtime in the boston area and still mostly cloudy at noon. shortly after that. out by 2 o'clock. not looking too shabby. sending you home to partly cloudy skies. dry conditions at least but not going to last. you can see we have more clouds, more drizzle in place by tomorrow morning and this will be your pattern for the rest of the week. so we have got a lot of clouds cooler temperatures. we have occasional drizzle here. through your wednesday straight into the afternoon ho

this next batch, hanging around western mass.. watch this as it gets closer to southbridge and webster. through midday. over to 11:00, at least a chance of some rain, if that can hold together, nothing that will wash out your plans but keep the fox 25 weather app handy, it looks like the rain will last from 30 to 45 minutes and go ahead and move on. be the pike north and westward late day with a little bit of heat and this warm front moving through. then tonight, jason the and dean show should be dry. better rain chance remains well north and into southern new hampshire from there. mid 70s, that's your current temp. dew point is a bit high in the lower 60s. although not as high as it was yesterday at this time. still on the sticky side. see those 70s, in i where you go. except keene you're at 69 beach forecast not a wash out. not a bad day, just got to deal with clouds from time to time. we have temperatures running 75 to 80 depress. warmest on the cape. lower on the sea coast and those east winds coming in 5 to 10 miles per hour.

just after this greenfield and central and western mass at 7:30 p.m. and swansea. now, whether or not these hold together is still open to debate, but my contention is, with this very sticky air here, we'll get some of these to make it on in. i don't think you should be cancelling your evening plans won't get here until late tonight. but be' wear if you're going to be out -- aware if you're going to be out laid, central massachusetts and eastern massachusetts, you have to be aware, some of these storms will make it on in. around midnight, they break apart, but there's spotty showers making it into eastern mass and there's energy in the atmosphere to produce a few showers in morning and there's a few around and finally, we goaltend into sunshine through the morning, and into the middle part of the day. in the afternoon, full on along the south of our stalled front. not a big concern to me. on saturday, some clouds drift on by, but the shower threat looks even less than what i was talking about a little while ago with you, with the latest computer model run. hour-by-

you go farther north of us, heading to vermont or upstate new york or even western mass, temperatures will be very close to 90 degrees tomorrow afternoon. with more sunshine and still very stick. >> i. thursday night, a cold front is approaching. so we get rid of that swirl off to the east, the one that was hermine, around now this front is coming in from the northwest to bring a it's a small threat though, that front too is weakening, much like hermine did, so maybe a shower early friday morning. then that passes on by and look what happens on friday. we take the clouds in the morning, and scoot 'em out of here an we're into some sunshine. it will be a warm day, the clear skies by 5:30 p.m. in the ege, that bodes well for fenway park. the humidity dropping as the night wears on. going to be more comfortable when you leave the ballpark. seven-day forecast, weekend the pick of the weekend, although there will be some clouds with sunshine, not perfectly blue sky, but it is the better of the two days, on sunday, we're expecting showers to roll back into the area. yeah, right. this drough

extreme drought extended southeastern massachusetts, merrimack valley and central and western mass north of the mass pike here. this is due to above average temperatures this week. we have boston hitting 90? twice in the last week as well as below average rainfall. so this situation just getting covering 52% of the state and cool, clear conditions in the region right now and only bump in the plan is ocean effect clouds that are still focused across eastern most and southeastern massachusetts and wreaking down here late-morning and afternoon. seeing a little bit of that in boston at 58? and does end up clearing out, breezy i should warn you as well and gusts range anywhere 20 to 25 miles per hour and 63?, partly cloudy in boston and noon time 65 and we will get into the upper 60s and not much warmer because of these winds. when we get wind off the water, not rate things and same extreme, so means temperatures will be more moderated at the coastline and 15 to 20 noon time in boston and winds relaxed a little bit and high temperatures and restricted in spots like (vo) one dark stormy night

southeastern mass but so far we have had zero rain in boston, some points north and west of boston into western mass, getting two, three inches of rain, 73? and 11:00 a.m. 75? and storm chances starting. that is the batch of rain that's actually moving out of new york right now on track to arrive in boston around 11:00 a.m. and wet weather here. so tropical moisture just feeding into the whole thing. the next batch of rain to watch will be this mass just arriving in connect and the trajectory of that will bring into boston like i said just before lunch time today. so doppler radar is looking pretty ugly. there you go north of the mass pike, one swath of rain and down across the rain another swath arriving on outer cape provincetown and future cast not quite wet enough in my 10:00 a.m. pockets of heavy rain. look at that noon time, talk about soaker in and around boston and lightning and gusty wind as well. once we hit the drive home from work, it is eastern and southeastern massachusetts watching for the storms and even overnight tonight the chance will exist over the cape, 7-day forecast always in
