to be super careful. 30 degrees right now in the worcester area. so cold enough obviously for that ice. by 6 a.m., we are showing 33 degrees here. usually these spots are a little slow to warm up. by 8 and 9:00 this morning, i do believe worcester is going to be out of that freezing zone to be out of that freezing we have got on-and-off showers. turns much heavier once we get again into that evening commute. 32 right now in boston. don't be deceived. just because it is not raining the clear. icy spots icy spots in and around the boston area and along with temperatures in the 50s this

great handle on the roadways, but until we hear and clear. give yourself lots of time. noontime comes along and scattered showers. degrees by noontime, by 5 p.m., awful mild with temps in the 50s. heavy band of rain. absolutely soaking wet to send homes from work, rainy, windy, foggy with the heavier rains when you should expect the strongest stuff. we have the best chance of getting tree limbs down and some problems because of that, but look at how much rain is in the forecast today. so we can get out of this anywhere from one to one and a half inches of rain depending on where we get the heaviest downpours this afternoon. high temperatures today into the 50s for all of us. don't you worey if you are icy now, you have relief on the way temperature-wise. then tonight, temperatures fall
