Kevin is going to be emceeing that grand opening. Its going to be pretty feel more like winter than we had today where temperatures were in the upper 50s and 60s. It started off with rain, too. I want to point that out, because over the last month from november 1st to the 28th we picked up over an inch of rain in boston. Since tuesday and wednesday, including this morning, we picked up more rain than the entire month. So pretty impressive rainfall over the last several days. It did not really allow for our current Drought Monitor to change much. When they go out and take a loo conditions, they check it early on tuesday, and then report to us on thursday morning. So this actually was from before the rain even came still. Ten inches below average for boston for rainfall, so were still in a very deficit across the area. We continue to see fairly dry conditions as we head into the weekend after we had a soggy few days. Today highs after the rain 57 i it was a Beautiful Day out there. A little bit cooler tomorrow, back into the 40s, and the 40s is where we get stuck into the weekend with sunday cooler. Some spots may get stuck in the upper 30s.

Come tomorrow it will be active, and we could see the gusts between 20 to 25 Miles Per Hour. Thats just going to continue to bring in that cooler air from the west. Over the next 24 hours, breezy tonight, and temperatures fall cloudy skies. More clouds in the interior. Come tomorrow, we see temperatures cooler than today into the 40s, near 50 degrees. Again, we watch for clouds to bubble up. Best chances through the interior north and west. There may be a few rain and snowshowers across the higher elevations. Some of those sprinkles or flurries can make their way eastward, too. By the lunch hour were in the upper 40s and we stay in the 40s for the evening drive with partly cloudy conditions. Conditions cool on friday night and in the weekend you notice the big difference in temperatures. For your saturday we look at the upper 30s to low 40s and then for your sunday, cooler but brighter, more clouds likely for the coast. Also, hey, the pats game is looking pretty good right now. Of course, you can watch it right here on fox 25. 40 degrees for that kickoff, cool and dry with mostly sunny skies.
