The rest of the weekend will and the city right now just a count every spritzs and sprinkles but there are showers and downpours creeping us and they are moving north and in fact its been not on and off rain for much of the afternoon back through metrowest. Even some thunderstorm activity. Here is one right here moving through kept county and up into Providence County in rhode island heading due north so this will find its way into Worcester County and perhaps right up along the 495 belt within the next 45 minutes to an hour. You notice city of boston itself again nothing on the radar other than showers and some downpours down along the south coast and coming off the cape. So outdoor plans this evening, High School Football games, they are going to feature showers and downpours. Again, i dont think it rains the entire evening for every single Football Game but certainly plan on some showers and downpours for your game with temperatures in the mid 60s. Thats the saving grace at least its not a cold october rain like you can sometimes have. Sometimes you can have these friday night rainstorms where we hold in the 60s with some humidity out there from an area of low pressure thats off to our west and in fact thats the same storm that brought the flooding back toward pennsylvania. There is a plume of heavy steady rain out there and that will stay up through new york state overnight tonight whereas the storm system grabs some of this tropical moisture and pulls that up into new england this evening and then it does begin to taper off later on tonight so here is your time line. You never saw these bright, warm colors here. The orange and reds and tropical downpours, there is a bit of a tropical connection with the system and then as woe work toward midnight tonight not as widespread but still a lot of moisture in the air, mist and drizzle and then through the Morning Hours tomorrow cloudy skies and i do think we are going to hold on to the chance at least of some scattered showers probably at any time tomorrow so even tomorrow does not look all that great of a couple days ago i thought the storm system would move a little bit quicker which would have gotten the rain out of here but thats not going to be the case. Chance of rain on and off through the day toll. So tomorrow not washed out but its not looking nice. With the amount of rainfall on the way, i think most of us will pick up a half inch of rain and if you get under one of those tropical downpours have you potential to pick up an inch or little bit more so the storm system peels out of here tomorrow afternoon, wind will develop late in the day and it does become a chilly wind. In fact look at this blue and purr el here. Yes, snow up across northern new england, highest elevations though. Maybe some flurries in the berkshires but nothing for will be an issue tomorrow evening through the day on sunday. Win will gust between 35 to perhaps as high as 50 Miles Per Hour late tomorrow evening and sunday. Sunday is the brighter of the two days but it is a windy day.
