And no record highs and big 70 degree temperatures in the forecast. The clouds that are out there will continue to thicken and lower as that system approaches and the rain will be here for tomorrow mornings commute. It starts out light and then it gets a little heavier throughout the day. Temperatures are in the 50s, but there are some 40s sprinkled in north and west and across parts of long island and you can see as we scan back across the great lakes and the midwest, the temperatures are pretty similar to what were seeing here in the tristate area.
