So after this evening they are set to live out the rest of their days at gobble letters rest, a custom enclosure that is located at Virginia Tech college. Tater and tot. I like that. The official pardon, and they will live on as long as they naturally can, yes. Absolutely. Theyll be protected by the u. S. Government, a very safe place for a turkey this time of year. Lets talk about the weather. We were thinking maybe some rain and snow tomorrow but, bree, youre back off a little bit . Well, the forecast is looking better and better, at least if you were hoping for a white thanksgiving, that doesnt look still cant rule out completely that we get some wintery mix and possible flurries early on in the day tomorrow and the weather stays unsettled as we head into the weekend and temperatures cool through the end of november. I cannot believe were wrapping up another month and we get a boost as we head into december. Well talk about that in just a second. Current temperatures in the low 40s for most 37 in worcester, but the good news is it feels warmer out there because our wind gusts arent even regularring. It doesnt register unless its over 20 mileperhour gusts out there. Only seeing that in the city of boston. We have a light breeze, but its nice that the winds have been able to relax after the last few days of very potent winds. That is ahead of that system that weve been watching and talking about and forecasted models. So well run through the timeline here. This is heading through the overnight hours and into tomorrow. We start out tonight 11 00 p. M. , were close to the freezing mark. And temperatures close to freezing is where the concern is. While youre not seeing any precipitation showing up on this timeline at this still a possibility that we could get some drizzle out there and that it could freeze, creating some slick spots. Thursday at 11 00 a. M. , were in the mid to upper 30s for most of us. Low 40s as you get into southeastern massachusetts. And it looks great for the family Football Game for the afternoon. It takes until about 5 00 for any precip, any accumulating precip as far as rain goes to start to really work into the picture for us and then thats temperatures above freezing at that point and in the low 40s. So again, i really wanted to just throw out this snow map completely but we cant rule it out completely and so theres that slight chance for a scattered flurry tomorrow and possibly some slick spots if youre traveling early. Here are our lows for overnight and into tomorrow morning, upper 20s, 32 even for boston. Whatever does get wet will become slick on the roads, even on the driveways. So do use caution through the da forecast for us at noon, 40 degrees. A very slight chance for drizzle to start working in early but i do think that the wet weather holds off until the evening hours. Heres a look at the highs for tomorrow. Mid to even some upper 40s. Though, i do think its a little aggressive here across the south coast, 50 degrees probably not in the cards for us. If youre traveling outside of weve got snow headed to the rockies, great news for skiers, steam boat springs opened up and the stormiest spot will be in the pacific northwest. Possibly some delays for seattle as youre heading to the west coast tomorrow. Clouds move in overnight. Wind fades 27 to 35, and tomorrow, p. M. Spot shower and urill watching out for the early well keep it covered here on 7news. Make sure you tune in for todays new england tomorrow starting at 5 00 a. M. A look at 7 on 7 forecast showing the unsettled weather sticking around for the weekend and next week a big boost in temperatures, though. It looks like more wet weather is on the way. Time now for fast track traffic. An all important check of the roads at this hour. Right by route 9 in framingham, hardly moving. Itll be like that most of the way out. Lets go to the maps.
