for us. we could use the rain, but hope for and that's only in some locations. sunday, monday the winds peaking, and then tuesday strongest winds across the south coast, 35 to 50-mile per hour gusts are possible. then we track the rain. you see the clouds increasing through the day tomorrow, but we do stay dry. it's just going to be breezy north of of the mass. pike and windy south of the mass. pike. rain bands start to work through monday and could keep coming through, as we head into for? i mentioned one to two inches is not off the table, but looks more likely the more south and east you get. chance of rain staying with us tuesday and then kind of lingers into wednesday a possibility. weekend get way, it's going to be a tough go for cape cod. but if you head north to the mountains and
