OH MY GOSH, IT’S POURING OUT THERE. WE’VE HAD ALMOST AN INCH OF RAIN OUT IN WORCESTER ALREADY, NOTICEABLY LESS CLOSER TO THE COASTLINE. THESE BANDS OF SHOWERS KIND OF SHIFTING ON IN AND THE RAIN NOW STARTING TO PICK UP IN EASTERNMOST MASSACHUSETTS. SO IT IS GOING TO POUR FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS. AND UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS POORLY TIMED WITH YOUR MORNING COMMUTE. HEAVY RAIN OUT THERE RIGHT NOW. THUNDERSTORMS ALSO POSSIBLE AND THE WINDS COULD GUST TO 50MPH ON CAPE COD THIS MORNING. YEAH, WE’VE GOT SOME IMPACT WEATHER HAPPENING. YOU CAN SEE THE WINDS HAVE PICKED UP. WE’RE GUSTING OVER 20 AND 30 NOW, BUT THE STRONGEST WINDS LIKELY HERE IN SOUTHEASTERN MASSACHUSETTS EXTENDING UP TOWARD CAPE ANN WHERE WE COULD SEE A COUPLE OF GUSTS TO 50MPH HERE MID-MORNING. AND THEN LOOK, BY THE AFTERNOON, THE WINDS ARE STEPPING DOWN. IT’S GOING TO BE BREEZY, BUT WE’RE GUSTING 20 TO ABOUT 30MPH. SO THE WORST OF THE WIND COMING IN OUT AHEAD OF THIS COLD FRONT. THIS MORNING. AND THAT SOUTHERLY WIND HAS BROUGHT IN THE WARMTH, TEMPERATURES RIGHT NOW ARE EITHER SIDE OF 60 DEGREES. SO YOU STEP OUTSIDE. IT FEELS STRANGELY WARM AND A LITTLE BIT MUGGY TOO. AND THAT MOISTURE IN THE AIR IS REALLY FUELING SOME DOWNPOURS THIS MORNING. LOOK RIGHT ALONG 495. SEE THIS ORANGE COLOR? POURING RAIN RIGHT NOW FROM WESTBOROUGH AS YOU CROSS OVER INTO FRAMINGHAM WALTHAM TO NEEDHAM IN THE HEAVY RAIN AND THIS IS JUST GETTING INTO BOSTON RIGHT NOW SOUTH OF TOWN. IT IS FILLED IN FROM SHARON DOWN TO MANSFIELD, OVER TO BROCKTON BRIDGEWATER CROSSING OVER TO ROUTE THREE AT THIS MOMENT AND DOWN ALONG THE SOUTH COAST, BUZZARDS BAY, YOU ARE IN THE HEAVIER RAIN, SO THIS RAIN IS GOING TO BE WITH US HEAVY AT TIMES THROUGH LATE MORNING AND THEN LOOK, AS WE GET INTO THE AFTERNOON IT STARTS TO DRY OUT AND THERE MAY BE A FEW BREAKS OF SUN LATE IN THE DAY. SO TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO HOLD IN THE LOW 60S FOR A LOT OF US, RIGHT ON INTO THE AFTERNOON. SO IT IS A MILD FRIDAY, BUT SOAKING WET THROUGH THE MORNING COMMUTE. THESE DOWNPOURS COULD CAUSE SOME STREET FLOODING, SO WATCH OUT FOR THAT. BUT LOOK, BY NOONTIME IT’S MUCH DRIER. STILL PRETTY CLOUDY. AND THEN WE’LL SEE THOSE CLOUDS BREAK A LITTLE BIT AS WE GET INTO THE AFTERNOON. THERE MIGHT BE A ROGUE PASSING SHOWER WEST OF 495 AT SOME POINT. THIS AFTERNOON, BUT THE TREND IS FOR DRY WEATHER HERE OVERNIGHT. MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES, BREEZY, MILD. WE’LL KEEP IT IN THE 40S TONIGHT AND TOMORROW IS A MOSTLY CLOUDY DAY. THE BREEZE STAYS ACTIVE. TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 40S TO MID MID 50S WITH NOTHING MORE THAN A SPOT SHOWER HERE AND THERE. SO YOUR SATURDAY A LITTLE UNSETTLED AS WE’VE GOT SOME ENERGY KIND OF ROTATING AROUND THIS STORM. A LITTLE BREAK IN THE ACTION EARLY ON SUNDAY, AND BY LATE SUNDAY THE SYSTEM STARTS TO RACE IN OUR DIRECTION SO WE MAY CATCH A COUPLE OF SHOWERS BY SUNDAY EVENING NOW, BUT THAT BODES WELL FOR THE MARATHON ON MONDAY AS WE SHOULD BE DRYING OUT. HERE’S A CLOSER LOOK AT THE TIMING, SHOWING YOU SOME OF THOSE SHOWERS GETTING IN HERE BY ABOUT 4 OR 5 IN THE AFTERNOON. NOW ON SUNDAY. AND THEY’RE GOING TO BE GONE LONG GONE BY SUNRISE ON MONDAY. AND THAT MEANS THE MARATHON WILL BE BRIGHT. IT WILL BE MILD, PERHAPS A LITTLE TOO MILD FOR THE RUNNERS. IN THE 60S, SPECTATORS ARE GOING TO LIKE IT, THOUGH, AND WE STILL COULD TOUCH 70 EARLY NEXT WEEK, SO SOME MILDER AIR COMING ON IN. AND WITH THAT WIND FROM THE WEST, THAT’S A DRY WIND TOO.
