Clear skies in place. And temperatures here do dip down into the upper 40s before warmup gets going, but here at 57 at noontime, lower 60s into the afternoon. We will even go a couple of degrees warmer in spots like nashua. Wrap it up with plymouth at 53 degrees. Right now, seeing clear skies there as well. Lower 50s gets you out the door this morning.

Snapshot of 7 00 tomorrow morning, still a couple of breaks of clear skies over southeastern massachusetts when you wake up tomorrow, but the clouds quickly take over. We will have to watch for some spot showers in the morning, but most of our rain is going to move in during the afternoon. So noontime here, best chance of a shower north and west of boston. And then into the afternoon, i think this is a little underdone. I expect more in the way of wet weather as you head home from work. 5 p. M.
