Blair so far, that fire has not damaged any buildings and no one there has been hurt. About, my friends, we have some big weather changes headed our way. But first, of all, lets start like this. Here, weve seen some clearing otis epps there, its not been a huge deal to us, but its not been a huge deal to us, but sunshine poking out to west and north and that clearing coming on in is good, because its causing this, that sunshine to come right out and allowing our temperatures to really start to moderate at least. Its been in the 50s, but starting tomorrow, it gets even better than that. The temperature is at 55 degrees, if youre heading out around town this evening. Not so bad, right . But as far as the cloud cover, its thicker to the south and east. Thats where youre stuck in it still. Taking us much of the day to get past that. There is the clearing off to the north and west and including the city of boston, you saw that beautiful shot from downtown and in boston, your temperature this evening will be dropping from the 50s down into the 40s, so by 4 00 a. M. , 43 degrees, outside in boston. Now, lets talk about whats coming. Two parts to this system. Firsof but this storm system back here means bills. Out ahead of it, winds are from the south. So while this storm wants to go in this direction, its actually got some warm air on one side, but on the back side, that right there, thats snow. And that snow is going to fall through the plains states and in to parts of the midwest and heavily in some places. Here, is where the warm air, is well go right from warm to cold and the potential for some snow. Out here, definitely, but the track of this is initially going gets to the coast, another storm is going to form along the same front, and that is going to complicate matters for us. Lets first tackle this. We know high temperatures tomorrow are going to be nice for november. In the 50s to near 60 degrees, somerville hits 60, it will be 61 for you in arlington. Here on to the north shore, temperatures the same way, through the merrimack valley, getting into the low 60s, a lot of upper 50s, sprinkled in across the state. Now the sevenday forecast will show it stark live. Change. Next couple of days are mild. Heres your weekend always in view. 60 degrees on saturday, with some sunshine, with you by sunday, the front is but by sunday, the front is coming through this the morning, producing some rainshowers. Here are the issues were talking about. Myself and sarah talking about this potential. Theres not a lot of moisture with the storm system initially, so there will be rainshowers that can be caused with the cold air, caused to become some mixing, some rain, some sleet, snow mixing in. In the higher elevations, bruski with this cold shot of air, lower spots too, particularly if there are heavier showers that come with it. But the second part of this is although theres not a lot of moisture initially, well have to watch along this front, for the potential for any redevelopment along the coastline. So heres the timeline showing the clouds coming in, and the rainshowers, this takes you overnight saturday into early sunday morning, the green is the rain, you get into the pink, youre talking about mixing and of course, the blue and white, thats the snow. This front wants to come on by, but if another system is forming along the front, you can see that atlantic moisture gets involved, then were going to have to be talking about more prominence, rain and snow showers, at least and possibly some accumulations. Its more likely farther to the north, but we already have our eye on this storm system, because they dont like to hackett appropriately when they come to new england. And by the way, looking down the road a piece, some rain on the way, at least for thanksgiving travel if not for thanksgiving day. Something else well be talking about coming up.
