So right now, it is clear out there. It is cold. Temperatures at the freezing mark in boston, are back into the teens and 20s in some locations because weve got the clear skies. Weve got light winds, too, and those winds mainly out of the north. Theyre not onshore yet. Theyre not dragging in that moisture, and thats allowed for temperatures to really drop out there. Expecting to see the winds very similar down across the cape, come out of the northeast. P town just increased their wind to about 13 miles per hour. So as that happens, that will begin to bring in some clouds through the overnight hours, actually allow for temperatures to rise a bit, and notice right around 7 00, 8 00, 9 00 when you head out the door, you may see some breaks of sunshine. But as we go through the day, well notice the winds picking up out of the northeast, bringing in those clouds, and also some areas of drizzle. See some fog develop through the overnight hours, as well see the temperatures drop and dewpoints rise, we could see some black ice, especially for the areas below freezing. So i want to point out, watch your step as you head outside tomorrow. Th not gonna be widespread, but there could be some patchy black ice in spots that could cause some dangerous conditions out there. Thats because low temperatures in the teens and 20s. 30 boston. 30 at the outer cape. Come tomorrow we will not be as warm as today, still in the upper 30s to near 40 degrees.

Areas of drizzle will be moving on in, and it will just be a nuisance as we head through the evening hours. Could be slippery again friday night into saturday as temperatures will drop. Some of that drizzle becomes steadier. Showers clinging to a little bit of snow to the north. But the best chances of precipitation will actually head our way for sunday as temperatures will also be could be near record highs. Record high in boston on sunday. 56 degrees.
