what's showing up on radar. around the harvard area through leominster through sterling. once you get over towards princeton there's more snow going on. great news for wachusett right now. watch this as it changes into a light drizzle but the ground is cold. that's why i say watch out for a few slippery spots out there this morning. here's the areas we're talking about. not much organization with it. a little bit out here to the west. the big organization is way out over the central plains. this is what's coming in as we talk about tomorrow's forecast. as it comes surging up there's a lot of warm air with it. that's why we're flirting with record highs tomorrow. i don't think you'll get a chance to enjoy it. it will be raining most. day. right now we're seeing some of the readings close to that freezing mark or at 32 degrees. but if you head south of the city most of the readings are in the 40. over the cape we're seeing 40's as well. nantucket checks in at 44 degrees right now. that's why those temperatures are warm enough. we're not talking about any ice we're going to try to get temperatures to warm up. we have a lot of gray skies out there. lowell 40 degrees for a high temperature this afternoon. rutland 38 for a high temperature. throughout much of the south shore we'll see reading into the 40's. taunton 46 degrees. as you look across the cape again 46. very popular temperature including barnstable at 46. but tomorrow things change a lot. today grai skies. the occasional spotty drizzle here or there. you don't need a raincoat. you just need to move quickly to the car. that's about it. as we head through tomorrow morning a few showers break out. by the time we get to 9:00 in the morning here we start to see more widespread shower activity. certainly as we head towards 1:00 some downpours out there. by 3:00 we could even have a rumble of thunder. how unstable this atmosphere is. again all this rain is going on despite the fact that we're talking about temperatures warming up into the 50's. this all winds down by tomorrow night. that's when the cold air starts to come in. by that point, you know the rain is all over with. you don't have to worry about ice on that one either. we're talking about an inch more than an inch of rain out of the whole thing. as it comes in, we've got these strong southeastly winds. 20-340 miles an hour. we could see gusts tomorrow afternoon especially along the coast gusting to 50, maybe 60 miles per hour. so do keep that in mind. sit is going to be a very windy day for us tomorrow. here's how the winds blake down today. they're out of the east. just giving us the gray skies out there. then we start to get more of a southeastly wind tomorrow. this is 9:00 in the morning. see how they start to build. by the time we get to the afternoon look at the wind gusts 40, 45 miles per hour seem likely. not as windy inland but still a lot of breeze out there. so let me break it down for you in our search-day forecast and show you what's going to happen. today gray skies. spotty drizzle. 44 degrees. tomorrow 56 near record highs. but it will be windy and rain along with that. monday watch the temperature just drop. 36 degrees. it's all the warmer it's going to get. on tuesday i have late night snow showing up into the forecast. it doesn't look like much of an opportunity. most of it in fact will actually develop way off shore. that's where most of the snow just because it's close to us, we'll put a few snow showers into the forecast. otherwise as we head down the road you'll see what happens. temperatures stay on the chilly side. that's actually close to normal for this time of year. what is not normal is what's going to happen tomorrow with 56-degree readings and rain. we will be talking about a little snow and a lot colder temperatures as we talk about it next week. doug and antoinette. doug: thank you very much. the time is 5:49. a check of the stories we're
