And a lot of clouds this morning even in the city 41 currently but the wind out of the north making it feel like it is in the mid30s. Northnortheasterly wind will continue to make it feel cool today and be quite gusty as we head through the morning and take look at the Current Conditions because what we have going on is temperatures in the 30s north and west of the city, 40s to the south and some wet weather arriving along the southcoast, parts of rhode island as well as the cape and islands. Dont expect temperature to change much across the southeast, although i do expect bump for the north and west.

We have a warmup on the way. I will talk more about that but lets get a check of the traffic now wit
