Look at that beautiful, youre enjoying this great day out there. Temperatures around 60 degrees, even in the 60s some places. Lawrence is 61, still boston, 61. The core temperatures are here and thats because the tough clouds came backing in again today and now theyre pulling back out, and theyre going to back in again later tonight, and its all because of this wobbling ocean storm. I guess we should be thankful its not hitting us directly, but it is a pain for you out if cape cod and southeastern massachusetts, with the clouds coming in and out all the time.

But when you see how temperatures are, you get an idea. You know when we talk about its the cold fronts with the stark temperature differences that can cause the most Severe Weather. Look at this, 60 in chicago. Off to the northwest in minneapolis, its 33, so the temperature difference is quite extreme here.

Meteorologist jason brewer will be here to tell you how the clouds are backing in even more thousand of the morning hours. Boston gets in to it certainly later in the morning and by noontime, cloudy again and clouds keep backing up toward 495 by dinnertime. May be a couple much showers that come in off the ocean or really some drizzle and then the clouds are rolling on in, so well watch for that, but really not expecting much in the way of precipitation until the front arrives sunday morning, so tomorrow, with increasing clouds, mostly cloudy out here, it will be in 50s. There from the getgo in the morning, so temperatures will stay in 50s with the clouds. Sun disappearing to clouds in boston area, north shore hand south shore. Norwood gets to 56 before that happens, off to northwest. Closer to 60, your best chance for 60 is back here where youll have sun for a longer part of the day. In fact, much of the day we have the clouds take over. That front comes through sunday morning, thats where these rainshowers are here. So the rainshowers are going to come on through with the front, and as that front wheels northeastward away from us, its going to bring an end to the good portion of the day, in much of massachusetts, but to the west, it will be snowing. The cold air has come on in, the rain has changed to snow, the Green Mountains back here through the spine of berkshires especially on western side, where the air is rising up the slopes, upsloping is what we call that and here in the worcester hills, some of the same action happening here in the afternoon, there will be some light snow at times here in worcester and in the monadnock area too, southwest new hampshire.
