and appeared to be shifting. elsewhere, not a lot happening until you get to the northwest corner of the state. this is an area of showers and thunderstorms in eastern new york. a lot of it is weakening but it is heading in our direction, coming out of a final boundary that will bring in much less humid air for your weekend, but today is very sticky. partly sunny skies, temperatures sneaking into the mid to upper 80 s, making a run at 90 this afternoon. we will watch a couple showers worked toward southern new hampshire, and by lunchtime, the afternoon, there will be scattered showers around, but things will wind down to the evening. we will talk about evening into boston. the tunnel is shut down after a deadly crash. one person is dead and two others have life-threatening injuries. that crash happened around 3:15 this morning. you can see some live feed. it s closed by the tools at 1a, and the accident is heading into government center. the tunnel is closed in both direction
it s the last weekend in august. that is going to be a great one. it looks really nice. my sticky out there this morning , lots of 70 s on the map this morning, 70 in boston. on the cape, couple raindrops over the past few hours that have been very light, mostly into the mid-and advocate but there isn t too much activity on the radar rate now outside this, a couple more showers into western massachusetts before you re left with thunderstorms across eastern new york state and this will continue to shift eastward over the next couple hours. it s coming out ahead of the final boundary and as it does it will bring us the risk of some showers and thunderstorms. notice how we bring in more clouds, and by late morning into the afternoon there will be at least a chance of a couple 70 s and 80 s this afternoon with some spots making a run at 90. but the shower and storm threat is not widespread, it will be very scattered. in the greater boston area lunchtime the activity will shift of
cindy: it will be a great weekend. comfortable humidity levels. not the cape as you are heading outside this morning. it is soupy you can see the patchy clouds, and it is warm. you are stepping out the door to temperatures in the 70s. 73 in boston. 74 in hyannis. some 60s through worcester county. but this humidity is oppressive. look where it heads tomorrow, way down and certainly much more comfortable over the weekend. what s going to change, this front off to the west and out ahead of that this morning, already we re seeing more clouds out through the western half of the state and scattered showers as well. a lot of this is missing off across central and northern new england but the southern extent of the showers likely moving into new hampshire, and you can see we have had a couple of rain showers on the cape this morning, as well. notice by about 9:00 the showers moving through southern new hampshire skimming here the massachusetts border here across the northern most
