Its going to take until 3 00 this afternoon, 3 00 to see the rain get into boston. There may be a little sunshine early this morning before the clouds thicken. 30s now, were in the mid 40s at lunchtime and holes in the upper 40s. The clouds fill in by lunchtime, a little drizzle or spot shower along the coastline. Here comes the area of snow. As it shifts eastward, it does change to rain. There will be rain for the hills there
