I want to you be aware that it is going to be damp. Patchy drizzle in the forecast when we hit the overnight hours. When it turns dark it will turn heavier. The overnight rain that will continue into the early part of tomorrow commute. Winds will start gusting 20 to 30 miles per hour. We trade in the wet for the windy as we head toward tuesday. In this is a look at where we stand right now. Lots and lots of clouds. Fitchburg one of the only spots that i have reporting some fog right now. And i do expect that we will get more of this even as we get into the afternoon. We are going to see more fog develop. Threemile visibility there. Stick with the 40s through 10 00 this morning. Bump you up to 50 degrees in fitchburg by noontime today and only in the lower 50s until really, really late. So our high temperatures that you see today will be more like midnight highs in boston right now at 46 degrees.

M. , finally up to 51 degrees by noontime and we also in boston head just into the low to mid50s later today. Closer to midnight, you are probably going to see the mid to upper 50s start to pop. This is our setup today. We still have a lot of this dry weather to get through, but with this cloud cover in place, and this cloud cover being stubborn, i do see it trapping enough moisture to give us a little drizzle, a little fog throughout the day and as we head into the evening hours, i know it is looking harmless at 7 p. M. , i expect the first of the heavier rain to be entering western massachusetts and then sweeping across the area. By 7 00 tomorrow morning, heaviest rain is out here, but we still have a couple of stragglers we have to deal with during the morning commute tomorrow which means more wet roads and likely more fog. Middle of the day is looking fantastic. Around noontime tomorrow, we get breaks in the clouds. The winds do increase and we will see some gusts and they stick with us into the afternoon as more clouds start to build in. Tomorrow we dont completely clear out the clouds. Still likely going to be partly cloudy to mostly cloudy as we head into the afternoon, but right there at lunch, that is your best bet for catching sunshine tomorrow. Today, we will keep it mostly cloudy. That 55 in boston like i said happens late. Norwood 57 degrees. 58 in plymouth. 54 in beverly. And in fitchburg and in worcester. And about if nashua.
